4300 Open

A great-selling boat, the Tiara 4300 Open combines the comforts of an express cruiser with the functionality of a top-tier sportfishing boat. Tiara has been building crossover boats like this for years, and the fish/cruise template hasn’t changed much since the original 3100 Open was launched in 1979. Key to the 4300’s exceptional versatility is an expansive cockpit with insulated fish boxes port and starboard, 50-gallon livewell, and all the fishing amenities an angler could want. For those more inclined to cruise, a fold-down transom seat or L-shape aft cockpit lounge are optional. Mezzanine seats overlook the cockpit, and on the raised helm deck the swivel seat on the L-lounge becomes a forward-facing companion seat. Below deck, there are two staterooms in the 4300 Open, a master forward with pedestal queen berth, and a guest cabin with upper and lower berths. The salon settee converts to a double berth, and a flip-up bunk brings the sleeping capacity to seven. Built on a balsa-cored hull with a well-flared bow, twin 715hp Cummins inboard diesels (or optional Cummins/Zeus 600 pod drives) cruise at 26–28 knots (low 30s top).
