Tiara Open: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Tierra 3000 Open is a versatile new model designed to replace the popular Tierra 29. It combines rugged offshore fishing capabilities with comfortable cruising amenities and modern technology found in Tierra's larger boats. This 30-foot vessel offers customizable configurations to suit both avid anglers and leisure cruisers, making it a flexible choice for a variety of boating preferences.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The 3000 Open features a robust exterior with high 316 stainless steel bow rails surrounding the bow, a molded-in fiberglass pulpit, an anchor rope locker, and a windlass system for easy anchoring. The deck is finished with Tierra's custom diamond pattern non-skid surface, enhancing safety. The design allows for easy customization: a premium fishing setup includes rocket launchers, a prep station, and a live well, while a cruising setup replaces these with side benches for additional seating and relaxation space. The custom hardtop includes two rocket launcher rod holders on each side, handrails for safety, and port and starboard vents for ventilation. Access to the swim platform is facilitated by a Super Duty walk-through transom, ideal for boarding or handling large catches. The helm area provides excellent visibility and ventilation, featuring a tempered glass windshield with dual wipers.
Helm and Cockpit Layout
The upper cockpit is designed with comfort and functionality in mind. Both the helm and companion seats accommodate two people and offer ample storage beneath. The helm seat is adjustable, though the space between the seat and helm is somewhat tight. The helm console is equipped with analog gauges clustered above flush-mounted gear controls, hydraulic steering, and engine controls to ensure smooth operation. Ventilation and visibility have been thoughtfully addressed, contributing to a comfortable piloting experience.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the Tierra 3000 Open presents a warm and inviting cabin accented with generous teak finishes. The port side locker includes a hanging rod for clothing and houses entertainment controls in its upper section. Battery switches and breakers are discreetly located behind sliding panels near the cabin steps. The salon features a removable table and a U-shaped lounge that converts into an additional berth, complemented by an optional 15-inch flat panel television. Forward, the double side berth offers storage beneath and two independently switched reading lights. The starboard galley is equipped with an Isotherm drawer refrigerator, Formica countertops, a stainless steel sink, a one-burner electric cooktop, and a microwave oven. The full wet head includes a pull-around shower curtain enclosure, a vanity with Corian countertop, and a vacuum flush toilet.
Power and Performance
Measuring 30 feet 6 inches in length overall with a 12 foot 6 inch beam, the Tierra 3000 Open weighs 12,390 pounds and carries 210 gallons of fuel. Performance testing revealed a smooth and dry ride even in choppy conditions. The boat planes in 6.9 seconds and reaches 30 miles per hour in 8.7 seconds. According to Tierra, the vessel cruises comfortably at 3,000 RPMs with a speed of 25.6 miles per hour and a cruising range of approximately 211 miles.
Engine Access and Serviceability
While the engine compartment is accessible, some improvements are needed. The current engine hatch does not raise high enough, requiring operators to crawl in for maintenance or engine exchange, which complicates service. Battery placement also needs optimization. Tierra has acknowledged these concerns and is actively working on solutions to improve serviceability.
Conclusion
The Tierra 3000 Open successfully blends offshore fishability with cruising comfort and customizable features. Its thoughtful design accommodates both fishing enthusiasts and leisure boaters, offering flexible configurations to match individual preferences. Despite minor serviceability challenges, the boat delivers strong performance, excellent visibility, and a well-appointed interior, making it a compelling option for those seeking a versatile 30-foot offshore vessel.
