This recently launched startup offers unique yacht designs that combine renewable technologies and sustainable systems to make self-sufficient ocean living possible.
PENSACOLA, Sep. 13, 2022 – Born early this year, Sovereign Ships offers self-sufficient, ocean-going yachts motivated by the desire to maximize personal freedom. These all-electric ships feature solar panels, interior gardens, and water treatment systems that eliminate the need to refuel or resupply.
Recent events such as lockdowns, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, and wars have proven that personal freedom is always under attack and emphasized its importance. Motivated to advance said freedom while simultaneously increasing quality of life, Ben Woodason created an independent environment which became the basis of Sovereign Ships. The Florida company offers self-sufficient, ocean-going homes that enable nomadic, off-grid lifestyles.
• Energy on demand: solar panels and wind turbines generate while battery banks store and distribute power;
• Eat and live as desired: interior gardens and water treatment systems supplement, or replace, grocery stores;
• Minimal maintenance: electric drivetrains require minimal servicing;
• Stable and secure: all ships are CE-A (ocean) certified vessels.
I came up with the idea after leaving the Air Force and contemplating what kind of a lifestyle would maximize personal freedom. I kept thinking about all the futuristic, sci-fi space travelers that I had seen and decided I could adapt that lifestyle for today by bringing things down closer to earth. So Sovereign Ships are essentially spaceships without their warp engines.

Founder & CEO of Sovereign Ships
Sovereign Ships believes that the world is a better place when individuals have the freedom and the ability to control their destinies. To facilitate this, it helps when they are financially, geographically, and politically independent to the maximum extent possible. Sovereign Ships provides this independence by enabling mobile, self-sufficient, ocean-going lifestyles aboard their ships.
Sovereign Ships is a residential yacht company based in Pensacola, Florida and launched in March of 2022 by Ben Woodason. It offers two yacht designs that feature solar panels, interior gardens, and water treatment systems. The company plans to build its first ship, the Sovereign Spirit, in 2025.
