2008 Tiara Yachts 4300 Sovran “Flying Dragon”

The Tiara 4300 Sovran (introduced as the 4000 Sovran in 2006) was a game-changer in the boating industry, the first American boat to be designed exclusively for Volvo’s then new- and soon to be revolutionary IPS drive system. Pod drives don’t just outperform conventional inboard power; they also require less engine room space. In the 4300 Sovran, Tiara engineers were able to use this extra space by extending the mid-cabin bulkhead aft, beneath the bridge deck to create a full-size guest cabin complete with its own head. The Sovran’s luxurious interior, an appealing blend of high-gloss cherry cabinets, Ultraleather upholstery and hardwood flooring, features an open salon with convertible settee to starboard and full-service galley to port. The forward stateroom has a queen island berth and flat screen TV. The Sovran’s open cockpit features forward and rear facing lounge seating with a centerline table. Note that the hardtop is fully integrated into the windshield. One of Tiara’s best-selling models ever, over 100 were sold.

The Tiara 4300 Sovran with Volvo Penta's Inboard Performance System challenges every assumption about what a boat can be by changing the whole future of onboard performance while elevating enjoyment of the boating experience. On the 4300 Sovran, dramatically reduced noise and vibration allow conversations in comfort while underway. Because Volvo Penta's IPS releases up to 25% fewer emissions, owners enjoy diesel power performance, economy and durability without exhaust smoke, noise or vibration. In fact, Volvo Penta's IPS in the Tiara 4300 Sovran delivers 25% better fuel efficiency resulting in fewer trips to the fuel dock, increased speed, acceleration and extended cruising range. The 4300 Sovran also integrates the Volvo IPS Joystick control that puts unmatched low-speed maneuverability at your fingertips. With a single, subtle movement of the IPS Joystick, you command the IPS propulsion units to respond in any direction. This gives you the power to maintain control of your 4300 during tight-quarter docking, coming about, reversing or even going straight sideways, all without the need for bow thrusters. Most importantly, because IPS takes up 25% less area in the 4300 Sovran, the design team was able to employ the newly available space as a full second stateroom with head.
