This boat is maintained correctly, and it shows! All photos are current, and I have been aboard this vessel and can describe her condition accurately.
Tiara is one of the country’s premier builders of dual-purpose express boats with hard-core fishing capabilities and beautifully crafted interiors. Like all of Tiara’s Open models, the 3800 can be ordered as a tournament-ready fishing machine or equipped with the cruising amenities of a comfortable family express. Her elegant single-stateroom interior is dominated by a huge U-Shaped settee to starboard, opposite the galley. There’s a separate stall shower in the head, and the beautiful teak-and-holly cabin sole gives the interior of the 3800 a traditional feel found in few other boats. The cockpit, with about 70 sq. ft. of space, can be ordered with an aft-facing jump seat or a complete tackle center. The entire helm-deck lifts mechanically for easy access to the large engine room. She has a cockpit wet bar, a fold-down transom seat, transom door and shower, side exhausts and wide side decks.
