1997 Tiara 3100 Open - $39K in Recent ServiceValue You Can See - and Trust

This is not your typical 3100.

In August 2024, the current owner invested over $39,000 in professional shipyard service to ensure this vessel is mechanically sound and ready for years of reliable use.

Now offered at just $55,000 - this represents a rare opportunity to step into a fully serviced Tiara without the typical "catch-up" costs.

✨ Overview

The Tiara 3100 Open is widely regarded as one of the best-built express cruisers in her class. With her solid fiberglass construction, 18° deep-V hull, and wide 12’ beam, she delivers a dry, confident offshore ride that outperforms many boats her size.

This boat is clean, updated, and truly turn-key - ideal for Bay cruising, coastal adventures, or serious fishing.
