Tiara 3900 Convertible

Everything about our athletic, seaworthy Tiara Yachts® 3900 Convertible is dedicated to fishability. The modified deep-V hull design and distinctive sheer line carve seas cleanly for performance and control.

Wide-open, well-equipped cockpits keep all your bait, tackle and gear close at hand – and low freeboard gets you close to the action.

Below deck, fishability meets livability. Living quarters are comfortable, functional and beautiful – with plenty of room to store gear. Engine rooms are well thought out for easy maintenance.

At the helm, single-minded instrumentation, expansive sightlines and spreader lights make it easy to back down on a tournament winner or dock stern-to with your catch.

Review

Taken from the article made by Chriss Caswell for the December 2009 edition of Yachting Magazine

The 3900 was in the planning stages for several years, and was scheduled to be introduced two years ago. However, after building the tooling and the first boat, the folks at Tiara were not satisfied with some of its seakeeping and handling characteristics. It wasn't so much an issue with major ride deficiencies, but several subtle items just didn't meet the standards the Slikker family set for their products.

So they did what few builders would have done - they scraped the hull and started over, and changed certain aspects which they didn't like and developed the current genesis of the 3900.

The 3900's console and helm pod setup are laid out much like that of a custom sportfish - a nice feature. Tiara's engineers have done an excellent job of laying out an ergonomic helm with all the essential and some not so essential operating equipment, within arms reach of the operator.

Visibility from the helm allows a full view of the bow and transom corners. I was able to easily monitor my anglers and the line coming off the spool as they dropped back to sailfish. The bridge also has good seating just forward of the console with storage to starboard of the helm under the companion dash.

The interior of the boat is as nice as any on the water in her class. The master staterrom is forward, along with roomy guest quarters to port. Built-in bunks fill out the guest quarters nicely. Approaching from the galley you'll also find a large head and shower on the port side. The galley is one step down from the saloon. The saloon has two L-shaped settees, one along the aft bulkhead wrapping around to port and another long the starboard side wrapping around the front bulkhead. She comes complete with flatscreen TV and stereo.

Tiara has produced a solid boat in the 3900 that they and any owner can be proud of.
