The 3500 Sovran continues the Tiara tradition of uncompromising quality and seaworthiness. Like the 3900 and 4300, the 3500 Sovran is engineered to take full advantage of the latest Volvo IPS technology including the advanced IPS joystick control for superior handling, noise and fume reduction, and fuel efficiency. The full complement of IPS technology delivers 360-degree direction control at your fingertips. The IPS engines take up less space than traditional inboards, which Tiara generously reinvests in storage and a distinctive, practical single-stateroom floor plan. Tiara designers have been able to open up the salon, as well as to include a theater room that converts to a comfortable second stateroom. The extra space is also put to practical use in a comfortably sized head with a separate shower and vanity. The 3500 Sovran is ideal for a cruising couple who like to entertain family and friends for the day, or may occasionally host overnight guests. Its intelligent floor plan, advanced drive train technology and characteristic Tiara attention to fit and finish will make the 3500 Sovran a source of cruising pleasure and lasting value.
With her distinctive lines, spacious layout, and standard IPS drives, the Tiara 3500 Sovran provides uncommon luxury and comfort for the cruising couple. Hardtop cruisers like the Sovran have grown in popularity in the past several years thanks to their weather protected—often climate-controlled—helms and sociable deck layouts. With the 3500 Sovran, a wide 12'11" beam adds another appealing feature: space, and lots of it. Indeed, the cockpit and helm deck—with combined seating for ten—are larger and more comfortable than any boat in her class. Below, the Sovran’s cabin is unusually large for a boat this size. Because pod drives require less engine room space than conventional inboards, the interior of the 3500 has been expanded aft to include a mid-cabin media room complete with facing lounge seats (convertible to a berth) and a wall-mounted 26" TV. The portside head has a separate stall shower, and the interior is finished with high-gloss woodwork, premium galley appliances, and an elegant hardwood sole. The cockpit sole lifts electrically for access to the engine compartment.

- Teak companionway steps with handrail

Tiara 3500 Sovran: BoatTEST Review
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.
