2000 Tiara Sport 3500 Open

What stands out on this 3500 Open is how cleanly everything has been kept and thoughtfully updated over the years. The helm ergonomics are classic Tiara: excellent sightlines, intuitive gauges, and room to stand comfortably while running in a chop. Wide side decks and solid rails make moving forward feel secure, even with kids or guests aboard. Below, the joinery still feels warm and solid, not flimsy or tired, and the settee converts easily when you need extra sleeping space. Storage is generous in all the right places, so cruising gear, fishing tackle, and weekend provisions each have a proper home. It’s a boat that feels dialed-in, not cluttered.

This 3500 Open is particularly well-suited to local waters where conditions can swing from flat calm to lumpy in a single outing. The deep, confident hull and weight give a reassuring ride on longer runs to quieter anchorages or fishing grounds. The open cockpit is versatile enough for crab pots and coolers one day, then deck chairs and sundowners the next. With enclosed canvas and climate control below, you’re comfortable extending the season well beyond the warmest months. The size is also a sweet spot: big enough to handle rougher days and host family or friends, yet manageable for a couple to operate and dock without drama.
