SEQUENTIS is an excellent example of the well-proven 3500 series from Tiara Yachts. Thoughtfully maintained and upgraded by a marine professional owner, she is ideal for boating with (extended) family and friends, offering all the creature comforts in a knowledgeably-designed and well-constructed package that we have come to expect from Tiara Yachts.
The vessel is exceptionally clean and well-presented throughout, with obvious attention to detail in the spacious, well laid-out engine compartment. The entire helm deck is raised by twin electrical actuators, offering unparalleled access for inspection or service. With twin dependable Caterpillar 3116TA 350 HP diesel engines, this 3500 is fast, and can exceed 30 kt.
Easily accessed from the swim platform via the transom door, (while noting the large storage trunk to aft), the large cockpit offers two settees plus a third individual seat, wet bar and icemaker. The helm deck, with 3-section aft enclosure, is fully protected from the weather, or can be fully opened on summer days. A large L-shaped settee, additional seat and over-sized Captain's powered seat offers comfortable, high, seating for all, with a great view.
Going below, the head/shower is adjacent to the well-lit companionway. To port the full galley includes a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, stove, microwave and ample storage. To starboard, the large U-shaped dinette offers comfortable seating for the entire family. At night, the dinette is easily converted to a queen berth below, and a pullman-style single bunk above. The generator, heat and A/C assures comfort year round, on the dock, u/w, or on the hook.
Forward is a queen berth in the private stateroom, with ample storage, a second TV, excellent lighting and good ventilation.
