"Five Too Soon" is a 2008 Tiara Yachts 3500 Sovran and an excellent example of one of this brand's finest Coupe Express models.
Recent improvements was the Cockpit Upholstery Installed (2026) and NEW AC unit at the helm.
The hull was repainted several years ago with custom Blue Alex Seal paint. You will be hard pressed to find a similar color in the marketplace. At the same time the bottom was repainted, prop speed applied and thru-hulls done.
Several years ago, a new Icom VHF radio was added along with a Simrad 12" NSS Evo3 display. Six new batteries with a 60-amp Victron Centaur charger and a 50-amp shore power cable were also installed. Soon thereafter, a new microwave was added along with three flat screen TVs.
In addition, a plow anchor with chain and rode was installed.

The 3500 Sovran's roominess is made possible by its use of revolutionary Volvo IPS power train technology. Like the larger 3900 and 4300 Sovrans, the 3500 Sovran is designed to take full advantage of IPS - including the IPS joystick control - for precise handling, less noise, no exhaust fumes and greater fuel efficiency. The 3500 is available in either gas and diesel power. The Volvo IPS Joystick control puts unmatched low-speed maneuverability at your fingertips. With a single movement of the IPS Joystick, you command the IPS propulsion units to respond in any direction. This gives you the power to maintain control of your 3500 during tight-quarter docking, coming about, reversing or even going straight sideways - all without the need for bow thrusters. Inside, Tiara designers have created a generously open space and a distinctive floor plan. The master stateroom is forward, complete with full-sized island berth, abundant storage and hanging lockers. The galley lies open to the generous and flexible salon. Aft on the port side is the wet head with separate vanity. Aft to starboard, the salon steps down to a lounging area that's ideal for unwinding with a movie, book or gaming for the kids or adults. This enjoyable area rivals entertainment centers of much larger yachts and can convert to berths for kids or guests.

Overview
The Tiara 3500 Sovereign is a thoughtfully designed cruiser aimed at couples seeking a high-quality yacht suitable for extended journeys. This model introduces innovative features that enhance both comfort and functionality, setting a new standard within the Tiara lineup. Its design benefits significantly from the strategic placement of Volvo IPS motors, which allows for expanded salon space without compromising traditional Tiara elements such as a stand-up helm. The enclosed coupe-style hardtop further distinguishes the yacht by providing a comfortable and practical bridge deck environment.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
At the transom, the 3500 Sovereign offers two spacious storage compartments: one housing shore power and water hookups, and another large locker providing ample storage capacity. The swim platform extends 42 inches deep, accommodating water toys and featuring a large three-rung boarding ladder alongside a freshwater shower conveniently located at the transom gate. The lower aft cockpit is furnished with a pair of facing lounges upholstered in rich materials, with generous storage beneath hinged cushions. Forward to starboard, a wet bar includes a sink, faucet, and cutting board, with an option to upgrade to a fridge-freezer combo or an ice maker. The upper cockpit, shaded by a composite hardtop, features an L-shaped companion lounge to port and a modern helm station to starboard. The helm is equipped with digital engine monitoring, navigation displays, a mahogany destroyer wheel, and an IPS joystick, combining functionality with refined aesthetics.
Interior Living Spaces
The salon of the 3500 Sovereign is characterized by dramatic teak joinery and supple ultraleather furnishings, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. The portside dinette offers a comfortable area for relaxation and dining, while providing access to the head compartment, which includes a separate shower stall and vanity area. On the starboard side, the galley is well-appointed with overhead storage cabinets, a large work surface with a deep sink, a two-burner cooktop, an undermount refrigerator with freezer, and dual storage drawers, ensuring ample space for meal preparation and storage.
Private Accommodations
The owner’s stateroom features an island-style berth equipped with an innerspring mattress and abundant storage options, including upper cabinets and a storage locker beneath the berth. Large hanging lockers flank both sides of the berth, further enhancing storage capacity. Guests are accommodated in the aft lounge, which converts into a cozy berth suitable for overnight stays and includes a second 20-inch LCD television, providing comfort and convenience for extended cruising.
Power and Performance
Weighing a confident 17,600 pounds, the 3500 Sovereign requires only 30 inches of water to clear the IPS propellers. Measuring 37 feet 9 inches overall with a beam of 12 feet 11 inches, the yacht carries a 250-gallon fuel capacity. During testing in choppy conditions, the diesel-powered Volvo IPS pods demonstrated impressive acceleration comparable to gasoline-powered boats. The vessel achieved a top speed of 35.8 miles per hour at 3,500 rpm and a cruise speed of 28.5 miles per hour at 3,000 rpm. At cruising speed, the yacht offers an estimated range of approximately 311 miles on a full tank, making it well-suited for extended voyages.
Conclusion
After extensive time aboard the Tiara 3500 Sovereign, it is evident that the designers have successfully created a yacht that balances size, comfort, and performance. Its innovative use of Volvo IPS technology, combined with thoughtful interior and exterior design elements, make it an excellent choice for couples seeking a capable cruiser for longer journeys. Prospective buyers are encouraged to experience the 3500 Sovereign firsthand at boat shows or through Tiara dealers.
