Sovereign, a 1966 classic 100 Burger, was refitted in 2020 and offers an attractive blend of style and function. Previously used as a charter yacht, Sovereign accommodates eight guests, plus five crew. Sovereign is listed with Worth Avenue Yachts and asking $2.1 million.
Powered by twin 580 hp Cummins QSM11 diesel engines, Sovereign has a max speed of 14 knots. But this wasn’t built for speed, it was designed as a long-range comfortable cruiser. Dial it back to a 9-knot cruise speed to maximize range from this yacht’s 6,000-gallon fuel capacity.
Sovereign’s salon has a portside sofa with an ottoman as well as several vintage chairs on a carpeted sole for guests to relax while watching the big game on the retractable flat-screen TV. Lock open the sliding glass door to the cockpit to create an open-air environment. The interior is notable for its precision joinery work.
Forward of the salon is the dinette and galley. An array of windows and vintage portholes allow natural light to illuminate the salon, dinette and galley spaces. Guests can enjoy a formal dinner for 10 guests inside or have an alfresco-style evening at the cockpit table. Sovereign’s galley has a stainless-steel countertop with sink for food prep. Stow cold goods in a Sub-Zero refrigerator and galley accessories in multiple cabinets and drawers. The galley has the following amenities:
- Thermador induction oven
- Thermador four-burner cooktop
- Bosh stainless-steel dishwasher
- Freshwater filter
- LG Microwave oven
- Hoshizaki ice maker
- Nespresso coffee maker
Sovereign’s cockpit is shaded by the flybridge with the option of sunscreens on the sides. A wraparound bench-style cushioned settee extends from the port side across the transom to the starboard side with a table and additional chairs. The spacious cockpit has a teak sole and recessed lights to set the mood when the sun goes down. Guests searching for a little more privacy can head to the foredeck and relax on a bench-style seat with table and chairs, or climb up to the sun pads forward of the pilothouse.
Sovereign’s flybridge can be accessed via a spiral staircase from the cockpit. Enjoy a little time in the sun at the wet bar or on the aft deck sofa with a coffee table and a few extra chairs. A Bimini top gives the guest the option of shade or sun while enjoying the panoramic views. Launch the tender with one of the two Marquipt davits for an excursion to a private beach for the a day of shelling with the family.
The pilothouse, located forward on the flybridge, has a bench seat with a large chart area and chart drawers to port. A large windscreen, as well as port and starboard side windows give the skipper an almost 360-degree view. The helm has the following electrical and navigation systems:
- Three Garmin MFDs
- Garmin tri-data display
- Garmin VHF
- Simrad AP70 autopilot
- Simrad 535 jog control
- Simrad remote VHF
- Simrad RI35 rudder-angle indicator

After a long day on the water, owners and guests can retire to one of four en suite staterooms. Sovereign’s interiors are bright, airy and crisp following a custom refit by American Custom Cabinetry and Ellen Kavanaugh interiors of Palm Beach. The master stateroom has a centerline king-sized berth with two large hanging lockers and additional stowage in drawers and lockers. Relax on the portside settee or catch up on a few things from work at the desk to starboard. The guest stateroom to starboard has a larger-than-twin-sized berth with a carpeted sole, bookcase and a hanging locker. The portside aft guest stateroom and the starboard side aft guest stateroom have two side-by-side twin berths with hanging lockers. Accommodations for up to five crew is forward, accessed via a private companionway between the galley and forward dining area.
Worth Avenue Yachts stated that “Sovereign is a stunning vintage Jack Hargrave-designed Burger that has been continually maintained and upgraded over time by conscientious owners and a professional crew. Accommodation for up to eight guests is found in four beautifully appointed ensuite staterooms. Presented in beautiful condition, she essentially needs nothing beyond a new owner’s personal touches to enjoy immediate use.”
