This 2006 Tiara 3800 Open is a 38-foot sportfish built on a fiberglass hull and powered by twin Cummins diesel engines producing 980 horsepower. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 26 knots and cruises at 22 knots, with extra engine room space designed to accommodate larger powerplants. Twin diesel engines provide the range and reliability expected of a boat built for serious offshore work.
The interior combines generous living space with practical fishing accommodations. Headroom exceeds six and a half feet throughout, with natural light from three opening foredeck hatches and six hullside portlights fitted with screens. The main salon features a U-shaped lounge that converts to a dinette with pedestal table or doubles as a berth, with an additional pullman single created by flipping the backrest. The galley is fully equipped with a double stainless sink, microwave, two-burner electric cooktop, combination refrigerator-freezer, and Corian countertop. The private owner's stateroom holds a pedestal queen berth with understorage accessed via gas-assisted lift, a hanging locker, and direct access to the head. The head offers dual entry from salon and stateroom, with a separate shower stall, Corian sink and countertop, and full vanity storage.
Topside, the stepped cockpit provides 147 square feet for fishing or entertaining. Standard features include an extra-wide back-to-back helm seat with wetbar and storage, a curved companion lounge with cooler storage, and aft-facing seating. Large compartments under the cockpit sole accommodate fishing or cruising gear. Engine access is available through an upper drop-down hatch or lower electric hatch lift. The helm features a tilt-away design with over 3.5 square feet of additional space for electronics installation.
Recent service includes a full engine service completed in spring 2026 with cooler service, and electronics replacement in 2022. The life raft was re-certified in winter 2026. The boat has been marina-maintained with a single long-term owner since 2007.
