Fish tales are the best tales. We’re told that some of them are occasionally even true. But whether it’s a story about the catch of a lifetime or the one that got away, it all starts with getting out there.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the hardest of the hardcore tournament fishermen heading out in any weather to find your quarry because that’s the day you have to fish, or if you’re a fair-weather angler who goes when it’s light and variable. The thrill of feeling a fish pulling on the other end of the line is the same.

A solid center-console is one of the best ways to get out there. From speed to style to pure fishability, the following six vessels are ready to take you to where your next fish tale starts.

Aquila 47 Molokai

Run Far, Run Fast

The Aquila 47 Molokai’s power options range from standard twin 600 hp Mercury Verados up to quad 400 hp Mercury outboards. When Yachting ran the 47 Molokai, we saw a top speed of 60-plus knots with the quads. At 47 knots, range is 600 nautical miles.

Rigged to Fish

For live-bait aficionados, there are two 42.5-gallon transom livewells. There’s also a 53-inch-wide casting platform, two 50-gallon aft-deck fish boxes, 510 gallons of total fish-box space amidships, and two 74-gallon coffin boxes forward. Whether it’s bigeyes or baitfish, there’s room for everything and then some. There’s also a cockpit bait-prep station and no less than 34 rod holders spread out among the gunwales, transom and hardtop. Just add outriggers.

Notable Features

The Aquila 47 Molokai has a double-stepped hull form that slices a seaway while its increased center tunnel clearance reduces sneezing. Construction is a vinylester-resin-infused hull and deck, as well as carbon-fiber primary bulkheads forward and aft.

Axopar 29 CCX

New Horizons

Finnish boatbuilder Axopar created the adventure-boating concept, and its Axopar 29 CCX expands the company’s boundary-breaking design with this fishing-focused craft.

Have It Your Way

Axopar offers numerous options to fine-tune the 29 CCX’s angling experience. Some of the amenities include a 33-gallon livewell abaft the helm seats, an 18.5-gallon livewell to port, a 19-gallon macerated fish box forward, a tackle station, a foldable aft leaning post with six rod holders, and four in-gunwale rod holders. Up to 16 rod holders can be added, and the builder can prep the boat for a trolling motor.

Built for Seas and Speed

The Axopar 29 CCX’s twin-stepped hull has a knifelike entry with a 20-degree transom deadrise. The lean-forward hardtop and three-sided glass enclosure provide protection from the elements. Raised bulwarks ensure safe transit around the boat in the chop. Power options are a single 350 to 400 hp Mercury Verado V-10 or twin 200 hp Mercury V-6 outboards. Top speed is reportedly 50 knots.

Contender 29Bay

Inside or Outside

Don’t let the name 29Bay fool you. This Contender Bay series flagship—there’s also a 23- and a 26-footer—is equally at home running off to cobalt waters in search of pelagics or stalking the shallows, thanks to its 16-inch draft.

Fishin’ Is the Mission

Wherever the day’s piscatorial pursuits lead, the Contender 29Bay has an armada of standard and optional angling gear to be ready for whatever is around. Standard equipment includes two 30-gallon in-sole fish boxes aft, two 26-gallon transom livewells, an 85-gallon fish box forward, casting platforms fore and aft, and an aluminum leaning post with four rod holders. Some options include a hardtop or soft top with rod holders, electric reel outlets, an upgraded leaning post with an extra livewell, Power-Poles, a trolling motor and outriggers.

Range to Roam

The 29Bay accommodates up to 700 hp. With a 185-gallon fuel capacity, the builder says, maximum range is 400 nautical miles. A standard Seakeeper Ride system ensures those are smooth miles.

Grady-White Canyon 386

It Starts With the Ride

The Grady-White Canyon 386 has the North Carolina boatbuilder’s SeaV2 hull form, with a wave-slicing entry that transitions to an ever-changing variable-deadrise form to ensure a softer ride in the chop. Deadrise at the transom is 20 degrees. The hull and deck are built with hand-laid fiberglass.

Triple Threat

Power options for the Canyon 386 include triple 350 hp or 450 hp Yamaha outboards. With the larger motors, this center-console has a top-end speed of 52.5 knots at 6,000 rpm. At 4,000 rpm, cruise speed is 33.8 knots with a 45.4 gph fuel burn. Fuel capacity is 410 gallons. The most efficient cruise speed is 26 knots, and fuel burn is 30.3 gph.

Get Catching

Designed from the get-go as a hardcore fishing boat, the Canyon 386 includes two 35-gallon livewells, two 149-quart in-sole fish boxes, a 291-quart fish box aft with a chill plate, 10 rod holders, four underwater LEDs, and a lean bar with a rigging station, sink and six rod holders. Options include 18-foot Gemlux outriggers and four hull colors.

Scout Boats 377 LXF

Style Meets Substance

The Scout Boats 377 LXF’s broad bow flare and sweeping sheerline catch the eye, but there’s a lot more beneath this center-console’s surface. Directly speaking, there’s a twin-stepped hull form that creates an efficient running surface with a 19.5-degree transom deadrise. There’s also a lithium-ion battery system to power all hotel loads silently, eliminating the need for a generator. Construction is equally modern with carbon-fiber-infused epoxy, creating a strong and relatively lightweight structure. Dry weight is 14,120 pounds.

Ready to Fish

The 377 LXF has a 30-gallon livewell, two in-sole fish boxes aft, and 12 flush-mounted gunwale rod holders. Eighteen- or 20-foot Taco outriggers are available to round out the offshore angling arsenal.

Ready, Set, Run

Owners can choose twin 600 hp Mercury Verados or triple 400 hp Mercurys. With the twins, top speed is about 59 knots with a 38.6-knot cruise speed. With the triples, top hop is about the same and best cruise is around 34.5 knots.

Tiara Yachts 48 LS

Dial It In

Tiara Yachts adopted a cockpit-module concept with its 48 LS, enabling owners to outfit their boat however they live their life on the water. With regard to fishing, owners can select the Adventure Module, which provides a 30-gallon livewell, a cutting board, four rod holders, stowage boxes, tool holders and more. Other angling options include 2o-foot Taco carbon-fiber outriggers and a hardtop rocket launcher with seven rod holders.

Get Up and Go

The Tiara 48 LS has triple 600 hp Mercury Verados. According to the builder, top speed is 50.8 knots. It’s a virtual tie for most efficient cruise speed at 33.3 and 38.3 knots, which results in 0.51 and 0.49 nautical mile per gallon, respectively. Maximum range at these speeds are 302 nm and 293 nm, respectively.

Finer Things

Belowdecks, there’s a queen berth forward and an amidships stateroom with twins. A 9 kW Kohler diesel genset powers the 48 LS away from the dock. The foredeck lounge is the place to relax after a day of catching dinner with the family.

The 2020 Tiara 44 Second Half delivers a memorable experience on the water, whether cruising the coastline or anchored for a weekend escape. HMY Yachts has Second Half listed for $899,000. 

The vessel is powered by twin Volvo IPS 600 diesel engines that can quickly push her up to a top speed of 33 knots and can comfortably accommodate four overnight guests.

Yachting previously reported, “We ran the boat on a blustery day in 3-foot seas on Lake Michigan. The builder says it connects Volvo Penta’s 435 hp engines via a jack shaft to IPS pod drives to lessen vibration and to give the Q44 excellent maneuverability. It works. Our test boat hit a top end of 33 knots at 3,600 rpm. Joystick steering makes it a fun ride, even in tight turns. A Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit is paired with a Garmin electronics suite, making the helm intuitive to manage.”

At the helm is the following electronics package: 

• Volvo Glass Cockpit integrated electronics package with Volvo engine option
• Two Volvo /Garmin 7612 12-inch displays with card reader and GRID remote
• Volvo/Garmin autopilot
• Joystick steering
• Garmin GSD24 sounder
• Volvo Dynamic Positioning System (DPS)
• Garmin GMR 624xHD 4 ft/6kw open array radar and pedestal with radar mount
• Garmin VHF315 radio
• 1kw transducer
• Volvo electronic engine controls & steering system
• Garmin electronics package with Cummins engine option 

Step aboard Second Half via the 60-inch swim platform with a hydraulic lift and the first thing you will notice is the grilling station with an ice maker and stowage. Entryways on each side lead up to the cockpit where guests can relax on a molded-in fore facing lounge with coffee table or two aft facing settee with cupholders and cooler stowage beneath. An electric awning gives owners the option of sun or shade while entertaining guests. 

Looking to improve your tan? Walk around to the fore deck for a little privacy and relax on the sun pads. 

Opening the glass doors, the aft window and power sunroof will create an open-air environment that flows from the salon out to the cockpit. Inside, four guests can relax on a port side L-shaped sofa with a high gloss teak table on a manual hi-lo pedestal. 

After a long day on the water, owners and guests can retire to one of two staterooms. The master stateroom has a private entrance and ensuite head. The VIP stateroom has a carpeted sole with two twin-sized side-by-side berths. 

The brokers at HMY Yachts report: “Second Half is a fine example of one of Tiara’s best received models, the 44 Coupe. This 2020 is well loved, equipped and maintained. Second Half has just completed all service work, new bottom paint and wax. She is being made available for immediate delivery just in time for the season.”

Where is Second Half located? The yacht is currently lying in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

True North is a 2017 Tiara F53 featuring a newly installed full flybridge enclosure, a customized electronics package and multiple add-on options. The brokerage team at HMY Yachts have listed the vessel with an asking price of $1.19 million.

The yacht has molded-in hullside windows with opening ports, and a Tiara custom composite flybridge complete with LED navigation and courtesy lights.

True North’s foredeck has a windshield cover and one Bomar extruded aluminum opening forward deck hatch with built-in Ocean Air screens and privacy covers.

Going into the salon and helm area is an aft window and sliding doors with blinds, along with blinds for port and starboard salon windows. The salon has a 40-inch smart TV mounted on a hi-lo lift actuator for concealment when not in use.

A loveseat is located on the starboard along with access to an electrical panel and storage. To port is a L-lounge sofa with storage, a table and actuated hi-lo pedestal, altogether seating five people.

The vessel’s central galley is equipped with sinks, an electric stovetop, a microwave, storage cabinets, a trash receptacle, one refrigerator and one refrigerator with a freezer.

The full-beam master stateroom and ensuite head is accessible by private entrance. It includes a carpeted floor, queen pedestal berth and divided storage compartment below the berth.

The master head is equipped with a full frame door with the private master stateroom entryway. It houses a fiberglass stall shower, a sink, a toilet, a medicine cabinet and additional storage compartments.

The VIP stateroom also has its own fully equipped VIP head as well as a queen size pedestal berth that splits to make double berths.

True North’s flybridge includes an entertainment center with refrigerator, sink, cutting board, trash receptacle and storage. It has a forward U-lounge and an aft U-lounge with a hi-lo table that converts into a sunpad.

The vessel is powered by the optional Volvo IPS 950 hp diesel engines with “extremely low hours” and optional dynamic positioning, according to the broker.

HMY Yachts says: “True North is an extremely clean and customized example of the crown jewel for the Tiara brand. Her ultra premium build quality is best in class as you would expect from a third generation family-owned, American-built yacht company like Tiara. The design features and innovation incorporated into the Tiara F53 Flybridge are truly world class.”

“One of my favorite things about this yacht happened to be the very first thing I checked out when I stepped on board for the second time: the swim platform, which Tiara has effectively turned into an entertainment space by putting in a transom grill with another refrigerator, ice maker and cutting board,” Yachting previously reported. “It’s a really smart use of space that helps the yacht feel even larger. There’s also stowage for water toys and lines in the transom, and the swim platform is hydraulic for easy water access and tender launching.”

Where is True North located? The yacht is currently lying in Dania Beach, Florida.

Natural Selection, a 2021 Tiara Yachts 43 LE, has a two-stateroom, one-head layout and is currently listed by HMY Yacht Sales for $849,000.

The boat is powered by triple 450 hp Mercury 450R outboards with approximately 81 hours each. It has a reported top speed of 52 knots and cruises around 35 knots. A Seakeeper SK6 gyrostabilizer provides roll reduction, while Mercury’s joystick control assists with low-speed maneuvering.

“Swing the wheel hard over at cruise speed or while going full tilt, and the yacht’s 21-degree deep-V hull digs in and carves a turn half as wide as virtually any boat this size rigged with inboards and rudders. Dockside handling was above par with the joystick control; in fact, when we returned to a cramped and crowded marina to parallel park with maybe 3 or 4 feet of clearance fore and aft, docking was simply a matter of lining up next to the opening and then nudging the joystick sideways,” Yachting previously reported.

The cockpit includes a rotating lounge that locks into multiple positions and includes a footrest. A fold-down terrace expands the usable space and provides additional water access on the hook. A retractable sunshade, transom grill and removable high-gloss teak table support alfresco dining. There is an upgraded JL Audio system with Fusion head unit. Underwater lights enhance the ambiance when the sun goes down.

Forward, the bow has sun pads with integrated cupholders. Stainless-steel bow rails provide safe transit when accessing the foredeck. 

Sliding glass doors connect the cockpit to the salon and galley. The salon is bright and open, thanks to large windows and high ceilings. Air conditioning, rotating helm chairs and sliding doors that open fully to the cockpit allow the salon to serve as a social hub. Galley features include a stainless-steel sink, microwave, Cognac wood-finished refrigerator/freezer drawers and multiple stowage compartments.

The helm electronics setup includes three 16-inch Garmin GPS displays, a Garmin 48-inch Fantom open-array radar, Mercury VesselView, Seakeeper control and an integrated sound-system interface. Opening side windows provide breezes when desired.

Belowdecks, the forward master stateroom includes a queen island berth with stowage below, reading lights, a hanging locker, privacy curtain and flat-screen TV. The second stateroom has a full-size berth and settee. The shared head has a teak shower stall with a glass door, sink and toilet.

Where is Natural Selection located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Dreamscape, a 2008 Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran, is a 58-foot express cruiser with a two-stateroom, two-head layout and triple-diesel-engine configuration. The yacht accommodates four guests for cruising and is currently listed by Galati Yacht Sales for $625,000.

This model was Tiara’s flagship at the time of launch, with a raked deckhouse, down-swept side windows, a hardtop overhang and a reverse- transom design.

Dreamscape is powered by triple, 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesels. The IPS pod-drive system makes for easier close-quarters handling, increased fuel efficiency compared to traditional straight-shaft diesels and reduced vibration, which, in turn, lessens onboard noise. 

The yacht cruises around 29 knots, with a reported top speed of 34 knots. The joystick docking system simplifies handling around the dock.

“Wait till you drive it,” came the reply from David Zgrabik, a senior service specialist for Volvo Penta. He had spent countless hours helping to plan and then install the first triple IPS 600 diesel system, the same three 435 hp engines turning azipod units with forward-facing dual-prop drives that would soon be pulling us along at cruising speeds of 30 knots for hours on end. For the next six hours, the Tiara Sovran 5800 was our magic carpet ride, smoothing out the light chop of Lake Erie.” Yachting previously reported.

The cockpit has an L-shaped settee with a high-gloss teak table, a solit setup for alfresco dining. A hydraulic swim platform with an 800-pound-capacity lift provides easy water access. There is also a wet bar with refrigerator, ice maker and electric grill. The foredeck has adjustable sun pads, offering an additional lounging space. 

Sliding glass doors lead into the Dreamscape‘s salon, which includes an L-shaped leather settee, two chairs, a pop-up flat-screen TV and a wet bar with wine cooler. Large windows and skylights allow for abundant natural light. 

The helm station is located forward with twin adjustable captain’s chairs. Electronics include Raymarine multifunction displays, radar, autopilot and GPS. The IPS joystick and electronic engine controls enhance boathandling. Side windows and a sunroof can be opened for breezes when desired.

Below, the galley has Corian countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a refrigerator/freezer, convection microwave, electric cooktop, dishwasher and upper/lower cabinets for stowage.

The full-beam owners’ stateroom is located amidships with a queen-size island berth, nightstands, an entertainment system and hull-side windows for ocean views. The ensuite head includes a walk-in shower and solid-surface countertops.

The VIP stateroom forward has a queen pedestal berth, under-berth and hanging locker stowage and an overhead hatch with shade and screen. Both staterooms have dedicated entertainment systems.

Where is Dreamscape located? The yacht is currently lying in St Petersburg, FL.

Tiara launched its 48 LS in 2021, expanding the builder’s Luxury Sport series and introducing a family-friendly cruiser to the market that’s powered by triple outboards with a two-stateroom layout that sleeps up to four people. Gilman Yachts has A Lazee Day, a 2024 Tiara Yachts 48 LS, listed for $1.649 million. 

“I thought it was impossible to be completely relaxed yet exuberantly excited at the same moment, until I reclined in the thickly padded, triple-wide bow chaise lounge on the Tiara Yachts 48 LS,” Yachting previously wrote. 

“In moments, the propellers were spinning at a combined 315 rotations per second, and we were traveling across the water at a hair-whipping top hop of 52 knots. That little voice inside my head wanted to whisper, “Aahhhhh,” and shout, “Woohoo!” at the same time.”

The triple 600 hp Mercury Verado V12s give A Lazee Day a 33-knot cruise speed, burning just 61 gallons per hour which gives the 48-footer a range of 330 nautical miles. 

Belowdecks, owners and their guests have a choice between a pair of staterooms—one amidships with twin berths and one forward with a queen berth. Interior design elements onboard the 48 LS include teak joinery and driftwood décor. The semi-enclosed galley is one step up and comes equipped with a sink, two refrigerator drawers, a freezer drawer, a Kenyon grill and an Isotherm icemaker. 

On the main deck, the bow features wrap-around seating which everyone can enjoy underway or at anchor. There’s additional seating underneath the hardtop amidships. 

Some other notable features on board A Lazee Day include: 

• Seakeeper 6 gyro
• Starlink system
• JL Audio speakers
• Two 16-inch Garmin GPSMAP displays
• 22-inch Garmin GPSMAP display
• Garmin VHF
• 1kW transducer
• Autopilot control
• Overhead Mercury engine display
• Fusion Apollo zone stereo system
• Fusion amplifier
• Ritchie Super Sport compass

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.

The post Introducing the Tiara Yachts 56 LS appeared first on Yachting.

Tiara Yachts is preparing to make a big splash at the Miami International Boat Show in February with the 56 LS—the largest, most ambitious outboard model the builder has ever created.

The debut of this model in the Luxury Sport series will come about six months after Tiara first announced the 56 LS, back in August 2024. Just based on that announcement’s virtual renderings and animations, the company says it already has multiple hulls on order.

“The enthusiasm we’ve already seen for the 56 LS is energizing,” Tom Slikkers, CEO and president of Tiara Yachts, stated in a press release. “It’s clear our customers recognize the quality and precision we bring to every Tiara model, and we can’t wait for people to experience the 56 LS in person for the first time at the Miami International Boat Show.”

Back in August, when the 56 LS model was announced, Slikkers described it as an evolution of previous models that Tiara Yachts has built.

“The Luxury Sport formula has been a successful one for Tiara, elevating the day yachting experience with versatile social zones and luxurious amenities.” he said at the time. “The 56 LS builds upon that foundation. Everything is amplified on this boat.”

The 56 LS will be the first quad-engine boat from Tiara Yachts, with four 600-horsepower Mercury Verados at the transom. Integrated electronics at the helm will include Garmin systems. In August, the builder projected a top speed of nearly 50 knots, making this boat one of the fastest Tiaras ever built.

Out on deck, owners can customize the social spaces to prioritize entertaining or fishing. The model is designed to be used for both types of enthusiast cruising, as well as for overnights and longer journeys. There are two staterooms belowdecks along with two heads.

At anchor, the boat’s hullside terraces to port and starboard can be opened. Tiara says this feature expands the boat’s beam by more than 6 feet, creating even more guest relaxation space for sunbathing and watersports.

Will Tiara Yachts have other models at the Miami show, in addition to the new 56 LS? Yes. Tiara, which is based in Holland, Michigan, builds inboard and outboard models from 34 to 60 feet length overall. The builder’s entire 2025 model year lineup is expected to be on display at the Miami show, including the EX 60, EX 54, 48 LE, 48 LS, 43 LE, 43 LS, 38 LS, 34 LS and 34 LX.

Course Correction, a 2020 Tiara 49 Coupe, is a single-owner, well-maintained yacht that has been docked in a freshwater slip on Lake Union in Seattle. This cruise-ready, family-friendly vessel has three staterooms and two heads. Course Correction has recently been put on the market by Alexander Marine USA for $1.45 million.    

Twin 600 hp Volvo Penta IPS800 diesel engines can propel Course Correction, which displaces 41,000 pounds, to a 31-knot top hop. At a 26-knot cruise speed, range is about 200 nautical miles. 

“Entering the single-level salon through a slider, I found the decor striking. Gray is the new beige, and there are a variety of surfaces in a variety of textures, from wood grain to slick, enhancing one another. The cherry sole and trim offer a touch of warmth and a nautical feel. The helm module —housing dual multifunction displays, switches and more—seemed to float. It had Tiara’s hallmark “pencil holder” design, allowing the skipper to keep sundry items secure and at hand,” Yachting previously reported.”

The helm to starboard has a teak sole and a custom double-wide leather captain’s bench-style seat with footrests and all controls within arm’s reach. Two large windscreens with wipers along with large side windows give the captain a full view of the environment. A Seakeeper gyrostabilizer keeps the vessel comfortable in sloopy seas while joystick control enhances close-quarter maneuvering. Upgraded with the latest Docking Assist system, “Dock Hold feature,” skippers can set the amount of thrust to hold the vessel at dock while single-handedly tying off the vessel.
