Tiara 4800 Convertible

The 4800 is fishing-capable and cruiser-viable from its proud bow and sheerline to its roomy and well-equipped cockpit. The wide-open design of the cockpit features aft-facing mezzanine seating that's a luxury on a boat this size. Tiara engineering makes the 4800 Convertible a seaworthy, dry and stealthy-quiet ride to wherever the fish are. Tiara craftsmanship is beautifully evident in the impeccable glasswork, as well as the joinery and surfaces throughout the interior. If you're looking for a serious sportfishing yacht, take a serious look at the Tiara 4800 Convertible.

Review

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

The bridge is quite wonderful, with a tournamet-style helm aft and wrap-around seating forward. Our optional teak helm console has a stainless steel wheel with brodie knob and Palm Beach-style single lever controls. The molded instrument panel easily handled dual Raymarine monitors, and each side of the helm has more electronics space under lids or in lockers for protection. Access to the back of the electronics area is superb, with the entire settee hinging forward.

The standard hardtop has a pale blue underside to produce glare, and it could easily be enclosed to go with the optional bridge air conditioning. There are a pair of large ice chests behind the settees, and immense stowage under the eyebrow forward. Thoughtful touches include both 12v and 120v power in the helm lockers for recharging cellphones or handheld VHF radios.

Inside the salon, the optional teak and holly sole combines with the teak cabinetry to create a yachty and inviting living space. A cabinet to star-board holds the 37-inch Aquos flatscreen TV, and buyers face another choice to port: the L-shaped settee can face either forward or aft. You can also choose to put the settee against tha back of the galley counter. After all, there's already a settee outside the salon if you want to watch your bait.

The galley is very well equiped with four Sub-Zero undercounter fridge drawers, a three-burner cooktop with sea rails and particularly impressive, anti-spill edges on the quartz counters.

The 4800 is pure delight. She's plenty quick (36 knots) and as nimble as a cutting horse.
