The Tiara 3800 Open is a rugged offshore fishing boat with the features and amenities of a family cruiser. She delivers high performance with top-of-the-line comforts.
Key Features
With 147 square feet in the cockpit there’s plenty of room when you hook into a big one or when you’re simply in the mood to entertain. An insole fishbox can easily hold the catch of the day, and it’s a great spot to stow the family’s beach toys too. A fishing console with sink and a waist-high circulating livewell are an option here, but the L-shaped galley comes fully equipped with AD/DC refrigeration, microwave oven,
abundant storage space and Corian countertops. The master stateroom features a queen-sized pedestal bed, which makes it easy to get around and make up when you want to get on your way. And to take you there, twin 435-hp Cats or 450-hp Cummins provide plenty of get up and go.

A functional cruiser with accommodations for four.
The 3800 Open has a large cockpit that’s great for entertaining or fishing. Up a step and you have a lounge area and double bench seats for the driver and passengers.
This lounge turns into a comfortable dinette.
The dinette seats four to five comfortably. Directly across is a galley complete with AC/DC refrigerator/freezer, microwave oven, and two-burner electric cooktop.
You'll feel right at home in this stateroom.
The owner’s stateroom is forward and features a pedestal queen-sized berth. The cabin also has private access to the head, which has a separate shower stall, Corian countertops and a vanity with sink.
Tiara 3800 Open
As you can see the 3800 has good overall flow to her. She's perfect for a weekend get-away for a couple or a family.
The designers of the Tiara 3800 have successfully combined performance that savvy skippers demand with top-of-the-line creature comforts.
Tiara quality is a benchmark — hand-laid hulls and decks, 40/60 glass-to-resin ratios, and superior core materials pay off with a super-smooth, distortion-free finish.
Engine access on this boat is very good, first, by way of a day hatch in the bridge deck, and then via the electric lift hatch. Easy access means easy maintenance.
Meanwhile, the helm tilts back for easy access to the wiring, and controls are easy to reach. Plus, there’s plenty of room to mount your choice of cruising and fishing electronics.
There’s not a bad seat in the house on the 3800. A double-wide, back-to-back helm seat w/stowage below is to starboard, and there’s a standard hideaway wet bar just behind it with optional icemaker.
