Custom Bentley Blue | Two Owners | Freshwater History | Exceptional Care
An exceptionally well-maintained, two-owner example of one of Tiara Yachts' most celebrated express cruisers, distinguished by stunning custom Bentley Blue hullsides and a history of attentive ownership.
Originally introduced as the 4000 Sovran for the 2006 model year, and subsequently designated the 4300 Sovran, this groundbreaking model helped revolutionize the express cruiser market as one of the first American production yachts designed specifically around Volvo Penta's innovative IPS propulsion system, featuring joystick control. The result was a remarkable combination of performance, maneuverability, efficiency, and interior accommodations that continues to make the 4300 Sovran highly desirable today.
Under the care of her second owner since 2017, this freshwater Tiara was purchased out of Cheboygan, Michigan, and has benefited from an open-checkbook approach to maintenance and preservation. Upon acquisition, her owner commissioned the application of her exceptional custom Bentley Blue hull finish, creating a striking and sophisticated appearance that sets her apart from other examples on the market. The finish has subsequently received professional attention and touch-ups to preserve its depth, brilliance, and unmistakable dockside presence.
Further enhancing her versatility is a remote-controlled hydraulic Freedom Lift mounted off the transom, allowing convenient launching, retrieval, and stowage of a tender without sacrificing valuable cockpit space. A full aft cockpit enclosure provides welcome protection from the elements and extends the enjoyment of the boating season, while additional aft cockpit canvas offers further flexibility and protection.
At the helm, Volvo Penta IPS propulsion is complemented by a bow thruster and onboard camera system, providing additional assistance and visibility when docking, maneuvering in tight quarters, or navigating busy marinas.
Belowdecks, the 4300 Sovran showcases Tiara's reputation for thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and comfortable cruising accommodations. Her spacious two-stateroom, two-head layout, inviting salon, and well-appointed galley make her equally suited for extended Great Lakes cruising, weekends aboard, or entertaining family and friends.
Shipboard electrical power is supported by a Cummins Onan 11.5 kW diesel generator with just 718 hours, providing dependable onboard convenience while cruising or away from the dock.
Throughout her ownership, this vessel has been maintained with a commitment to preserving both her mechanical integrity and cosmetic appeal, with care and attention evident throughout.

Tiara 4300 Sovran: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sovereign 4000 Cruiser from Tierra Yachts represents one of the company's first vessels designed specifically around Volvo Penta's new inboard performance system (IPS). This innovative propulsion setup allowed the designers to relocate the engines aft, creating additional interior space and enhancing overall livability and performance. The vessel emphasizes comfort aboard and premium cruising capabilities, featuring quieter operation, reduced vibration, and lower emissions thanks to the IPS technology.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
At the stern, the Sovereign 4000 features a large bolt-on swim platform equipped with low-profile cleats and four built-in tie-downs suitable for securing a dinghy. A watertight storage trunk beneath the platform provides ample space for six to eight fenders and dock lines, complemented by a three-step swim ladder for easy water access. The cockpit is accessible via molded steps integrated into the wide gunwale or through a transom door. A standard hardtop extends well aft, offering protection from the elements, and incorporates hatches with built-in screens and sunshades that open easily with one hand. The engine compartment benefits from the compact IPS design, eliminating bulky transmissions and driveshafts, which simplifies maintenance and reduces noise and vibration.
Bridge and Helm Station
Ascending one level reveals a raised lounge area providing a panoramic 360-degree view while underway. To starboard, a wet bar includes a cold water sink and refrigerator, enhancing onboard convenience. The helm station is designed for ergonomic efficiency, featuring a clean, uncluttered dashboard with state-of-the-art controls. Rocker switches have been relocated to the starboard side for improved accessibility, positioned just above the engine controls. The helm seat is fully adjustable and paired with a mahogany steering wheel, combining comfort with refined aesthetics.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the interior showcases a spacious salon adorned with teak finishes. The starboard side houses an L-shaped sofa with a high backrest capable of seating four comfortably around a removable teak dining table. Entertainment is provided by a 20-inch flat-screen TV with Bose surround sound. The adjacent galley is well-appointed with Corian countertops, dual stainless steel sinks, a two-burner electric cooktop, microwave, nearly full-size refrigerator, and ample upper and lower cabinetry, facilitating efficient meal preparation.
Private Accommodations
A notable design innovation enabled by the IPS system is the addition of a guest stateroom beneath the bridge deck aft, featuring twin berths convertible to a queen with an optional filler cushion. This cabin includes a cedar-lined closet and a separate head with a dedicated shower stall, ensuring guest privacy and comfort. Forward, the master stateroom in the bow offers a queen berth with side access and overhead storage. It is equipped with individual air conditioning controls and a flat-screen TV. Storage needs are met with a cedar-lined closet and a large locker beneath the berth supported by gas-assist struts. The master head complements the stateroom with an enclosed fiberglass shower, Avanite vanity countertop with a glass vessel sink, vacu-flush toilet, and dedicated air conditioning vent.
Power and Performance
The Sovereign 4000 measures 45 feet 3 inches in length with a beam of 14 feet 9 inches, a displacement of 26,800 pounds, and fuel and water capacities of 375 and 110 gallons respectively. Powered by twin Volvo 370 horsepower diesel engines paired with the IPS drives, the vessel achieves a top speed of 34.4 miles per hour at 3560 rpm. Optimal cruising occurs around 3000 rpm at 25.8 miles per hour, providing a range of approximately 320 miles. Noise levels remain low at 85 decibels during cruise, contributing to a comfortable onboard environment. The IPS drives, with forward-facing propellers that pivot like stern drives, afford the Sovereign 4000 agile handling characteristics, enabling tight turns and easy docking maneuvers. The boat handles more like a sport boat than a traditional cruiser, underscoring its performance-oriented design.
Conclusion
The Tierra Sovereign 4000 Cruiser is a thoughtfully designed vessel that balances spacious, comfortable accommodations with advanced propulsion technology to deliver a refined cruising experience. Its innovative use of the Volvo Penta IPS system not only enhances performance and maneuverability but also creates additional interior space, notably a second stateroom with private head. With its combination of livability, efficient maintenance features, and sporty handling, the Sovereign 4000 is well-suited for long-term, long-range cruising and is positioned to be a strong contender in Tierra's 2006 lineup.
