Forward Stateroom

·       In the Plan B layout, the forward cabin is configured with a pedestal queen berth (centered) rather than a standard forward V-berth. The result: a more comfortable “owner’s suite” feel. 

·       The berth is flanked by drawer or locker storage (under berth) plus hanging lockers, reading lights, and a large hatch overhead with screen/shade. 

·       Private access to the head from the stateroom: the head is positioned starboard and has dual access (salon/forward cabin.

Galley & Salon (Port-side Galley)

In the Plan B layout, the galley is thoughtfully positioned on the port side, creating a more open and functional living space while providing additional countertop and storage area compared to the Plan A configuration. The galley is equipped with Corian countertops, a stainless steel sink with hot and cold water, a two-burner electric cooktop, a microwave/convection oven, and a Norcold refrigerator with a built-in freezer (3.3 cu. ft., new in 2025). Ample upper and lower cabinetry offers generous storage for extended cruising. Adjacent to the galley, the salon features an inviting L-shaped settee with a pedestal table that converts into a double berth for occasional guests, complete with a privacy curtain for added comfort.

Head & Shower

·       The head in Plan B Configuration is more spacious than in some express layouts. It typically features a full fiberglass molded unit: marine toilet, vanity with sink and storage, and a separate

shower stall (wrap-around curtain) 

·       Access: from the starboard side of the salon, and private direct access from the forward cabin. 

Storage and Features
  • Excellent storage for this size: under-berth drawers, hanging lockers in the forward cabin, settee storage in the salon, galley storage, and various trunk lockers.
  • The wide beam also contributes to large cabinet/locker space and general “roominess” below deck compared to many contemporaries.  
  • Interior ventilation: overhead hatch(s) in stateroom/salon, opening ports, and good natural light.


Engine Room

Access to the engine room on the 2000 Tiara 3500 Express is designed for convenience and safety — a hallmark of Tiara Yachts’ commitment to serviceability and engineering. 


Engine Room Access 


Entry is through a large electrically actuated hatch in the cockpit sole, located just aft of the helm seating area. With the push of a button, the hatch lifts to reveal a wide, well-supported opening that provides excellent access to both engines, the generator, and all major mechanical components. For quick inspections, there’s also a smaller day-access hatch for routine checks such as fluid levels or engine start-up preparation, allowing maintenance without fully opening the deck hatch. 


Engine Room Layout and Features

The engine compartment is impressively organized, cleanly finished, and sound-insulated to minimize noise and vibration throughout the cabin. Twin Cummins 6CTA 8.3-M Diamond Series 450hp diesel engines are mounted on heavy-duty stringers, offering reliable performance and efficient cruising. The Mase generator, replaced in 2021, is positioned for easy service access.


Overall, the engine room of Amejaie II reflects Tiara’s signature attention to detail and practical design philosophy — combining safety, functionality, and clean engineering in a space that’s easy to access and maintain, whether preparing for a weekend cruise or a longer offshore run.
