2001 Tiara Yachts 3500 OpenSold

Slide into the cockpit and you see right away this 3500 Open has been kept ready to go at a moment’s notice. The wide beam gives you a stable, open deck that’s easy to move around, whether you’re setting a trolling spread or just spreading out deck chairs for sunset. High gunwales and sturdy rails make it feel secure underway with kids or guests aboard. Down below, the layout is simple and smart: a generous dinette that actually fits friends, a real double berth forward, and enough storage to leave your weekend gear onboard. Tiara’s solid glass hull and deep forefoot give this boat a confident, dry ride when the afternoon breeze fills in and the chop stacks up.

A Tiara 3500 Open is almost purpose-built for the mix of short hops, day cruising, and weekend island runs this area is known for. The open layout and big cockpit are ideal for rafting up, swimming off the stern, or dropping the hook in a protected cove. When the breeze kicks up in the afternoon, the hull’s weight and deadrise help you slice through the slop instead of bouncing over it. The factory hardtop and substantial windshield offer real protection from sun and spray, so longer runs stay comfortable. Add in the efficient size for marina slips and haul-outs, and this model fits local boating lifestyles without feeling cramped or compromised.
