2003 38′ Tiara 3800
2003 38′ Tiara 3800 boat for sale
Boat Description
Its commonly known that Tiaras are wonderfully built and eagerly pursued for their seaworthiness and styling. What is not so common is to find a 2003 that is in the exquisitely pristine condition that Caravela is in.
And whats more, she is loaded with upgrades which would attract people who like to fish, and people who just like to cruise. With her wide beam it affords a huge cockpit, about 70 square feet in fact, to move around in or to just lay back with a beverage, enjoy sun and the beautiful anchorage your hunkered into.
Below decks is warm and comfortable, finished in luxurious teak. With the more popular “A” plan she has a huge U shaped settee to starboard, opposite, the galley dominates her elegant single stateroom interior. There’s a separate stall shower in the head to keep the water where it belongs and ease of clean up. And wow! the beautiful teak and holly cabin sole gives the interior the traditional feel found in few other boats.
Servicing the engines is easy. The entire helm deck lifts mechanically to access the large engine space. Of course, for your quick daily checks, there is a hatch next to the helm station to easily access the engines.
One of the really cool ideas that Tiara uses is the prop pockets to reduce the shaft angles, allowing more forward thrust and a more shallow draft, increasing the economy of operation.
You are not going to find a 2003 Tiara 3800 anywhere in better condition than what you will find in Caravela. So, if you are serious about the ideal boat, for cruising and for fishing that is in spectacular condition, you must call us. You will be very happy that you did.

First Impressions
As your approaching the boat, you will be impressed by the shine off the gel coat, the result of a professional wash every month and a wax every year.
Stepping aboard is the same. She just sparkles, clear evidence owners who genuinely care about her.
The lower cockpit is huge, about 70 square feet, with a built in transom fold down bench seat and two aft facing seats behind the helm and upper cockpit settee. The upper cockpit is another 75 square feet. This is all protected by a canvas slope back canvas cover from the rigid hardtop to the transom, not to mention the full winter cover that the boat comes with as well.
Below will wow you just as much with her brilliant Plan “A” layout, full galley to port and large U shaped settee to starboard, beautiful teak throughout all in show room condition and about 6′ 5″ headroom.
