Introducing the Tiara Yachts 56 LS

Tiara's new Luxury Sport flagship is designed to accommodate quad 600 hp outboards and should run in the 50-knot range.

Tiara Yachts plans to introduce its 56 LS at the Miami International Boat Show in February. The 56 LS expands the builder’s Luxury Sport series, which now stretches from 34 to 56 feet length overall. This series is designed for outboard propulsion, and the 56 will be the Michigan-based builder’s first quad-engine model.

“The Luxury Sport formula has been a successful one for Tiara, elevating the day-yachting experience with versatile social zones and luxurious amenities. The 56 LS builds upon that foundation. Everything is amplified on this boat,” Tiara Yachts CEO Tom Slikkers said in a press release. “I’m confident our customers are going to be just as excited as we are about this addition to our portfolio.”

Equipped with four 600 hp Mercury Verado V-12s, this yacht is expected to have a top speed of nearly 50 knots, making it one of the fastest Tiaras ever built. Pair that with the 21 degrees of deadrise at the transom, and this 56-foot cruiser should get on plane quickly and handle chop with ease.

Social spaces from the stern to the bow are accented with thoughtful design elements. The cockpit is flanked by foldout terraces, expanding the beam by nearly 6 feet and increasing the space around the modular lounge area. The idea is for owners and their guests to be able to use that space in various ways.

Andrew Bartlett, director of design at Tiara, says a goal for this model is to give fans of the Luxury Sport line even more of what they want. “Our LS line has been a favorite of our customers, and we’re eager to showcase this new addition to our portfolio,” Bartlett stated in a press release. “Our customers will find multiple features on board that allow them to enjoy the water, entertain family and friends, and comfortably stay overnight. As outboard models continue to have a resurgence in the boating industry, we’re excited to introduce another Tiara to the market.”

Accommodations for up to four people are belowdecks. Amidships, the full-beam master stateroom has a centerline berth and en suite head. The VIP stateroom is forward, in the bow, also with a centerline berth and en suite head.

The 56 LS is a vessel equally ready for entertaining guests or cruising on extended itineraries, or for owners to do a bit of both at the same time.
