Reporting from the 2023 Palm Beach Boat Show, Elliott Maurice takes us on a full tour of the Tiara EX 60...

Michigan-based Tiara Yachts’ classy new Tiara EX 60 flagship was one of the showstoppers at this year’s Palm Beach and Miami Boat Shows. No question. With this gleaming hull No. 1 recently fresh out of the factory, you might have expected Tiara to wrap it in cotton wool and truck it, very carefully, the 1,424 miles from co*pany HQ to Miami.

That would have been way too easy. Instead, Tiara decided to give its gleaming new 60-footer a proper shake-down cruise. It took it on a near 2,000-mile adventure across Lake Michigan to Chicago, down the muddy Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, across Lake Okeechobee and down to Miami. Most of it at full throttle.

A perfect test then for Tiara’s biggest, most-luxurious, and at $3.7 million, the most expensive model to date.

The EX 60’s styling is from the drawing board of Tiara’s long-serving design director, Andrew Bartlett who seemingly focused on a classic, elegant look rather than breaking any design rules. You won’t find any funky Pardo-style plumb bows and vertical windshields here.

The real focus though is on outdoor space, with an oversize, two-level aft cockpit with adaptable seating, plus power-lowering side terraces that expand the area from 16ft 11in to an impressive 20ft 6in.

And the full aft width of the saloon is made up of a three-part glass folding door and power-operated window by the galley that opens-up the entire saloon to the back deck. Below decks you’ll find three cabins and two heads with a roomy midships owner’s cabin, big forward VIP and a twin-berth guest cabin.

Power-wise, the Tiara EX 60 co*es with1350 Volvo D13s with shafts driving IPS pods which deliver a 40-knot top speed. Perfect then for the EX 60’s planned 2,000-mile post-Palm Beach Boat Show cruise back to Michigan. Though this time it’ll be up the East Coast.
