The company, founded in 1974 by Leon Slikkers, manufactures luxury inboard and outboard yachts ranging from 34–60 feet.

[1] Tiara Yachts traces its roots back to January 1955, when a 27-year-old Slikkers began building wooden runabouts under the SlickCraft name in a small shop in Holland, Michigan.

In 1983, the Slikkers family purchased the SlickCraft name back from AMF and began producing boats under the banner until the late 1980s.

The future of boating lay in the innovative pod propulsion system that offered unparalleled benefits as a unique alternative to the traditional shaft drive.

Tom Slikkers was named CEO in 2012 and ushered in the Coupe line before introducing an outboard-powered lineup, then known as Tiara Sport.

Its focus on performance without sacrificing luxury quickly set it apart from other vessels in its class; the 38 LS was recognized as the 2018 Miami International Boat Show Innovation Award winner.

Furthering the legacy of the Verado® engine family, Mercury® reimagined outboard performance to deliver the ultimate luxury boating experience.

With the unwavering strength of a V12 powerhead, the 600 hp Verado outboard delivers extraordinary range and power to take your boating adventures to new destinations.

Combined with the most sophisticated digital controls and unmatched sound-dampening technology, the features of the 600 hp Verado outboard elevate the standards of premium design and engineering.

The LS series are based on a center console platform with a focus on luxury sport yachting, ample lounging accommodations and transformational seating.
