The 2005 Tiara 3800 Open is a 38-foot fiberglass express cruiser powered by twin Cummins 6CTA 8.3 diesel engines producing 960 horsepower combined. With a cruising speed of around 23 knots and a top speed of 26 knots, the yacht delivers capable performance across the water. The boat features a B-layout that accommodates six berths, including a centerline queen island berth, convertible dinette berth, and additional sleeping arrangements.
The open layout centers around an integrated helm and saloon area with an L-shaped settee to port and an L-shaped ultra leather dinette to starboard with a high-gloss teak table. The galley includes Corian countertops, a microwave, Nova Kool refrigerator and freezer, and a covered fiberglass sink with storage. A single head with Vacuflush toilet serves the cabin area. Seadek marine mat flooring was installed in 2022 throughout the living spaces.
Navigation and control systems include dual Garmin GPSMAP 8612xsv chartplotters, a Garmin autopilot, Garmin VHF, Fusion audio system with speakers, and dual Cummins engine monitors. A Vetus bow thruster and Maxwell windlass provide maneuvering assistance. The helm features a teak wheel and storage beneath the seat.
Additional equipment includes an Onan 9kW generator, Vimar air conditioning, ProMariner battery charger, and a Viking life raft. The transom incorporates a dive door and swim platform with Seadek. Recent updates through 2025 encompass bottom paint, propeller coating, and new navigation and audio systems. The engine hours stand at 1,750.
