1996 Tiara 29 Open “Montauk Edition”

A Classic Tiara, Exceptionally Maintained and Thoughtfully Upgraded

There are boats that have been maintained, and then there are boats like Montauk Edition—vessels that have clearly been owned by someone who believes that preventative maintenance and quality upgrades are worth every penny.

This 1996 Tiara 29 Open “Montauk Edition” is a standout example of Tiara’s legendary combination of offshore capability, comfortable cruising, and timeless styling. With approximately 850 hours on her Mercury engines, she has been exceptionally well cared for and continually updated throughout her ownership.

She has been maintained with an open-checkbook philosophy, with no expense spared in keeping her systems, appearance, and accommodations at a high level. Numerous upgrades have been completed, including all-new soft goods, updated electronics, and a complete enclosure, making this Tiara far more than a well-preserved classic—she is a boat ready to be enjoyed.

Step aboard and the difference is immediately apparent. The refreshed soft goods give the interior and cockpit a clean, inviting feel, while the upgraded electronics bring modern functionality to a proven offshore platform. The enclosure provides additional protection and comfort, extending the boat’s usability when conditions change.

The Tiara 29 Open has long been appreciated for her ability to transition effortlessly from serious fishing and offshore runs to relaxed family cruising. The “Montauk Edition” adds an especially appealing character to this already desirable model, and this particular example benefits from years of attentive ownership rather than simply aging gracefully.

With approximately 850 engine hours, extensive upgrades, and a documented history of care, Montauk Edition represents an opportunity to own a classic Tiara without taking on the typical project list associated with a 30-year-old vessel.
