If you want a beautiful and extremely fast (carbon fiber hull and rig), comfortable, easy-to-sail, offshore cruiser that is in excellent condition, THIS IS IT … This owner loves this boat but, his daughters are older now and they aren’t doing extended family cruises any longer, so it’s time to sell.

Sovereign is a rare performance catamaran that is very fast and easy to short-hand-sail with one crew, thanks to a thoughtful carbon fiber rig design that features a main halyard on a Harken reversing captive spool, self-tacking jib and all lines led to the raised helm.

It has constantly been upgraded with all new Garmin electronics, new sails, Tenderlift, new interior varnish and wall covering, and extensive solar power.

The layout provides comfortable accommodations in 6 cabins for 12 quest people. This is a mobile private island, configured with solar power sufficient to run refrigeration, electronics, hot water, fans and even the water-maker... minimizing the need for generator in normal daily life and meaning your cruising range is enormous.

Capable and proven ocean sailing machine, with travels from Australia to the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Bahamas, and Chesapeake Bay. She can do it all, engineered to be safely handled by shorthanded crew....

This Lidgard Executive 73 sailing catamaran was conceived to be the ultimate long-range cruiser that offers comfort at anchor with safety and performance underway. Designed by the esteemed multihull designer Lidgard and built by Executive Yachts of Australia. This Lidgard performance catamaran was built with super light construction, a reinforced epoxy carbon fiber blend. The luxurious Executive 73 offers space and comfort to owners and guests. This boat offers an exhilarating sail reaching up to 22 knots in speed and a comfortable cruise at 10 knots. She is built to the highest standards and is hand finished with excellent taste. This catamaran is also USCG documented with its home port being Sullivans Island, SC. However, with its max draft being 4 feet 6 inches with Dagger Boards draft being 8ft, it has performed incredibly well in the Bahamas. This vessel was built to commercial standards where you will find safety equipment not commonly found. She is equipped with engine drive crash pumps in each section of the vessel, cross ship fueling capacity, 2x 8-person life rafts, extra-high stainless steel life lines, and more. SOVEREIGN was completely re-fit in Greece 2017 and has never been charted by current owners. Sovereign was further enhanced with significant upgrades to electronics package and key systems in 2021 and 2022. Sovereign has just completed a major technical and cosmetic refit interior and exterior. See below list of recent improvements, including daily, electronics, major engine servicing, and electronics.
