Our Story
Just like our yachts, our story is based around friends, family and the water. Our craft, calling and passion are the common threads woven throughout not only the products we build, but also our relationships with our dealer network, vendor partners and ultimately, our customers.

A legacy of excellence
Over 60 years ago, Tiara embarked on a voyage to create the finest yachts in the world, made in the U.S.A. It began with Leon Slikkers when he founded Slick Craft in 1955. Since then, the evolution of our designs, technology and manufacturing have evolved with the needs and desires of our customers.
