2000 Tiara Yachts 52 Express Cruiser

Step below and you immediately feel how overbuilt and solid this 52 feels underway—quiet, dry, and composed at speed. The wide beam carries all the way aft, so the cockpit has the kind of working and lounging space you usually see on much larger yachts, with deep freeboard that’s reassuring when the chop kicks up. Below, the salon’s generous headroom and big hull windows keep everything bright, while the private guest stateroom means two couples can cruise without feeling on top of each other. Engine access is excellent through the cockpit, making routine checks and longer runs less of a chore and more part of the pleasure of owning a serious cruising machine.

A 52-foot express like this is right in the sweet spot for these waters. It’s large enough to smooth out afternoon wind waves and sloppy inlets, yet still easy for an owner-operator to handle around tight docks and busy fairways. The deep, secure cockpit and tall bow rail inspire confidence when the breeze pipes up, and the express layout keeps everyone close to the action rather than tucked away below. With generous fuel and water capacity, plus two real staterooms, you can comfortably stretch weekends into longer escapes without hunting for marinas every night.
