1979 Schucker 436 Motor Sailor – SOVEREIGNTY

Very roomy, comfortable, and solidly built. Boats like this simply aren’t made anymore—and if they were, the cost would be substantial. SOVEREIGNTY is a proven, capable motor sailor offering exceptional volume, comfort, and cruising efficiency.

An excellent family cruiser or liveaboard, she is US Coast Guard documented with a 2025 survey available. She has just completed a 1,500-mile voyage from Central America, followed by additional coastal cruising, clearly demonstrating her reliability and seaworthiness. Currently located in Charleston, South Carolina.

  • Water: 200 gallons (sanitized and rebuilt in 2025)
  • Heavy fiberglass hull with no blisters and new bottom paint (2025)
