1996 Tides 27 Express - Single Owner | Twin Yanmar Diesels | Updated Simrad Electronics
There's a certain presence to a Tides 27 that immediately sets her apart-the flared bow, clean lines, and understated Carolina profile give the impression of a custom-built day boat, and in many ways, that's exactly what she is.
This 1996 Tides 27 Express has been owned and meticulously maintained by a single owner since new-an increasingly rare distinction that speaks volumes about her care, consistency, and overall condition. Built with a robust fiberglass hull and designed with an emphasis on real-world usability, she delivers the kind of soft, confident ride that has earned Tides a loyal following among experienced boaters.
Powered by twin Yanmar 170hp diesel engines with approximately 4,036 hours, this vessel reflects the kind of proper, regular use you want to see. Known for their durability, efficiency, and longevity, these engines provide a dependable platform capable of cruising comfortably in the mid-20 knot range with impressive economy and range-qualities that continue to resonate with those who value time on the water over time at the fuel dock.
At the helm, updated Simrad electronics bring modern capability to a timeless platform, offering reliable navigation and situational awareness whether you're running offshore or cruising the coast.
The layout is both practical and versatile. A generous cockpit is well-suited for fishing or entertaining, while the helm offers excellent visibility and protection. Below, the forward cabin features a V-berth, rod storage, hanging locker, and a concealed head-making overnight stays or extended days on the water both comfortable and convenient.
Originally conceived as a semi-custom platform, the Tides 27 was built with a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that is increasingly difficult to find in today's production boats. No longer in production, clean, well-cared-for examples like this are becoming harder to come by-especially with known ownership history.
For those seeking a capable, efficient, and thoughtfully maintained Carolina-style vessel with both character and pedigree, this Tides 27 Express represents a compelling opportunity.
