Tiara C53 Coupe

One has to admire the daring innovation in the breakthrough Coupe series by Tiara, a company often cautious to change.

Sporting a seductive profile with a curved hardtop, the new C53 Coupe adds 30 inches to the running surface over its predecessor. These extra inches create a “hat trick” that significantly improves social zone seating, refines the structure of the optional hydraulic swim platform, and creates a spot in the engine room for a Seakeeper 9 gyrostabilizer, the latest must-have.

“We change something only when we can clearly see how it benefits our customers,” says Tom Slikkers, president and CEO of S2 Yachts, Tiara’s parent company.

Social zoning — another buzzword of the decade — requires a blend of interior design with the deftness of a politician working a cocktail party. This is where the C53 Coupe scores a major victory, with forward bow loungers, a signature aft cockpit and an expanded salon. Inside, the extra room allows for a larger L-shaped lounge on the port side, a convertible companion seat and a loveseat aft of the helm. 

A high-gloss teak table rotates 90 degrees on a hi-low pedestal to create more dining space without impeding the centerline walkway. The companion seat can slide forward and aft, and the backrest easily converts as well. Warm teak, stainless steel finishes and ultra-leather accents complement the salon interior.
