SPECIFICATIONS & FEATURES
Sovereign Ships are solar-powered electric yachts with interior gardens for self-sufficiency and kite sails for additional propulsion.
You can find features and specifications on our Sovereign Spirit 40 and Sovereign Sphinx 40 pages or by downloading the brochures.
Sovereign Ships currently utilize aluminum hulls.
We are currently taking reservations for each model in our production line. You can expect deliveries to start as soon as 2027.

Solar panels are the primary energy source for the ship’s battery banks. These battery banks then provide power to the electric motors and the electrical systems powering the vessel.
In addition to solar energy, we also offer supplemental power options, including wind turbines, shore charging, and backup generators. These options ensure a consistent power supply even in varying conditions.
Sovereign Ships are designed with long voyages in mind and incorporate plenty of storage space for such trips. Most storage is under the raised garden beds and in any available space below the floor.
Interior gardens are elevated for ease of use and storage space below, are sheltered to ensure plant survival, and are positioned in frequented areas to encourage constant tending.
We currently offer two garden configurations:
1. Dirt-based garden option
– Uses the Square-Foot-Gardening method
– Fresh produce for one person per 32 ft² (3.0 m²)
2. Aeroponic garden option
– Cleaner with higher yield
– Less variety
SOVEREIGN SHIPS VS. TRADITIONAL VESSELS
Sovereign Ships are self-sufficient ocean-going vessels suited for extended voyages. This design philosophy necessitates four significant differences from conventional yachts:
1. They use the Sun and sometimes wind to generate power instead of fuel stations.
2. Battery banks store power instead of gas tanks.
3. Electric drivetrains propel the ship instead of combustion engines.
4. Interior gardens and water treatment systems sustain the crew longer than traditional vessels.
Cost of living is where Sovereign Ships will shine for four main reasons:
1. Electrical propulsion systems require virtually no maintenance.
2. Energy is harvested via solar panels as opposed to buying fuel.
3. You will harvest food from your garden, reducing grocery expenses.
4. You will be more capable of living “off-grid,” thus avoiding docking fees.
There are a lot of factors that go into pricing these types of products, but for the Sovereign Spirit 40, we’re targeting the $400k to $600k range, and we’re targeting the $700k to $1M range for the Sovereign Sphinx 40.
reservation process

Once you have made a reservation, our team will contact you to continue the process. You can reserve your spot here.
operation
Yes, our solar yachts are designed for ease of operation by one person, combining advanced technology with user-friendly controls.
Typical hull maintenance is still necessary, though Sovereign Ships have comparatively low maintenance thanks to their electric drivetrains and clean designs.
They are built to withstand severe weather conditions and are rated CE-A (ocean-going) for safety.
safety & certification
Safety is paramount. Our yachts meet or exceed CE-A (ocean-going) certification standards and incorporate key safety features and equipment.
More detailed safety information is available in our technical brochures.
Sovereign Ships are designed to meet or exceed CE-A certification standards. They are designed to operate in winds less than Beaufort Force 10 (24.4 m/s or 47 kts) and significant wave heights of 7 m (23 ft).
