4200 Open

A top-selling model during her production years, the chief attribute of the Tiara 4200 Open is her ability to serve equally well as a high-end cruising yacht or serious sport fishing machine. Tiara has been building practical, dual-purpose express yachts like this for years. No surprise, then, that the 4200 Open raised the bar for boats of her type when she was introduced in 2003. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with wide 14'11" beam and prop pockets to level the engines, generous bow flare and wide reverse chines provide an exceptionally dry open-water ride. Two interior layouts were offered: Plan A, the original floorplan, has an extended portside lounge/dinette with the galley and head opposite, while Plan B adds a starboard lounge with privacy enclosure, sort of a second stateroom. In both configurations Tiara’s satin-finished teak joinery and traditional teak and holly sole offer a pleasant contrast to the high-gloss interiors found in many express yachts. The 4200’s spacious cockpit could be factory-configured for fishing with an optional livewell, bait prep station with sink, and tackle center and freezer. Cummins 670hp diesels cruise at 27–28 knots (low 30s top).
