Tiara Sport 38 LX

Tiara Sport has never been afraid to challenge the status quo.

To prove it, Tiara took its fairly new model, the 38 LS, and used the same hull for yet another new model — the Tiara Sport 38 LX.

The 38 LX is available with three Yamaha 350-hp four-stroke outboards for a comfortable cruising speed of 35 mph and a top speed of 57 mph. Triple Mercury Marine 400 Verado engines or twin 7 Marine 527 V8s are also available options.

Built with a greater focus on dayboat activities, the 38 LX provides more seating space from bow to stern. “On the 38 LX, every space has a private area,” says Whitney Vishey, Tiara’s director of marketing and communications. “Passengers can really choose how they want to relax.”

Like her sister, the 38 LX has versatile rear seats. Push a pedal and the backrest converts the fore and aft-facing pads into a comfortable lounge. One more push and the seats convert into large sunpads.

The cockpit includes an L-shaped starboard seat and a removable folding table. To port, a large galley includes a grill, ample sink, cold storage and enough counter space that the galley feels like more than a simple afterthought.The dual console design includes double-wide helm seats that convert to bolsters. The companion seat swivels aft to become part of cockpit conversations.

The 38 LX has two spaces hidden away. At the aft end of the port console, a wide door provides access to a roomy, well-appointed head complete with Corian countertops and a Vacu-Flush toilet. The starboard console hides a large space for storing gear or water toys. The space can also be ordered with heat and air, as well as a mattress.

Like the 38 LS, the Tiara Sport 38 LX is a versatile and luxurious performance dayboat. However, the 38 LX sets a higher standard few others will ever reach.
