2005 Tiara Yachts 4200 Open

Step into 50/50 and the first thing you’ll notice is how solid everything feels underfoot—classic Tiara fit and finish, from the hefty hardware to the clean, easy-to-service machinery spaces. The helm is laid out so you can run the boat confidently even when the seas turn a bit lumpy, with great sightlines and plenty of protection from wind and spray. Wide side decks with secure handholds make line handling and anchoring less of a dance and more of a stroll. Down below, the joinery and soft goods have that timeless, understated look that ages well, so the boat feels inviting rather than dated. It’s the kind of platform you can keep for years without outgrowing.

In this region, conditions can change quickly—from flat, glassy mornings to afternoon chop and confused wakes from traffic. The 4200 Open’s deep, confident ride and substantial displacement help you slice through that mix without beating up your crew. The open-style helm and cockpit keep everyone connected during cruises to nearby harbors or sandbars, while the protected hardtop and enclosure give you a refuge when the breeze stiffens or a squall rolls through. With efficient diesel power and good tankage, it’s well suited to longer runs along the coast or out to offshore fishing grounds, yet still manageable for a cruising couple to dock and handle without extra hands.
