YEAR-ROUND OPEN BOW This crossover's strength is maximizing her 14'6" beam with a single-level layout from stern to bow. Formula uses a polished Axalta paint finish, not standard gelcoat, for superior luster and durability. She stays on plane down to 15.9 knots (18.3 MPH) and includes a standard Seakeeper 9 gyro. Below, she features a queen aft berth and 6'7" headroom, adding serious overnighting to a day boat platform.
WHERE ARE THE MOTORS? This Spanish flagship hides her 2,400 hp under an expansive sunbed, giving her the low maintenance of outboards without the visual clutter. De Antonio’s signature innovation allows for a deep, walk-around interior, offering a full-beam owner’s suite and a bow lounge option that can include an integrated spa pool. A clever twist on big boat design.

Sovereign Boat Fleet:
Meet Captain Jim Noel, General Manager
Sovereign Boat Fleet’s GM Jim Noel knows how to make the most of a beautiful day out on water — whether he is providing hands-on instruction, working with naval personnel, or riding around in his own Intrepid 34. Give Jim a call and make that boat dream become a reality. Jim can show you how.
30 AMP DRINK Forget those tacky LED rings—this is actual tech. We break down the AquaAmp SeaSocket, a cup holder that delivers 30 amps of 12V power. The kicker: it only goes live when it detects a compatible plug using NFC. Drop a metallic can inside? Nothing happens. This cleans up the helm and keeps high-power accessories right where they need to be, safely.
SET THE HOOK RIGHT Dropping a hook for a holiday stay isn't the same as a quick lunch stop. We look past the immediate forecast to consider tidal changes, the real-world impact of that massive vessel anchoring nearby, and why a few extra feet of chain might save your whole vacation. A deep dive into the bottom conditions and local nuances that determine a safe, peaceful night for her crew.
ELIMINATING BOAT ROLL Forget trim tabs. We take a look at the all-new Seakeeper Ride system on the Sportsman 302 to see how she handles beam-sea chop. The tech actively adjusts her attitude up to 100 times per second, managing roll, pitch, and yaw. Get an expert explanation of the mechanics and see the real-time difference this boat stabilization system makes.

Under 33 CFR 83.30 (Rule 30) of the Inland Navigation Rules, a vessel of less than 20 meters in length is not required to exhibit anchor lights or shapes when at anchor in a "special anchorage area" designated by the Secretary of Transportation (or the relevant authority). These areas are specifically carved out to allow smaller recreational vessels to rest without the battery drain or light pollution of constant anchoring lights, provided they are in the designated zone.
