The Tiara 2900 Coronet is a stylish and versatile sport cruiser

whose roomy cockpit is among the largest to be found in a 29-

foot boat. Introduced in 1997, she’s constructed on a modified-V

hull with a wide beam and sharp bow entry. While the Coronet

was one of Tiara’s smaller boats produced in recent years, she

retained the superb finish and engineering excellence found in

all Tiara models. By design, the Coronet’s emphasis is on openair

enjoyment, and her large cockpit can seat a small crowd in

comfort. The engines are under the seat boxes, and the forward

section of the deck lifts electrically for access to the motors. Aside

from the generous seating arrangements, the cockpit is equipped

with a wet bar aft of the helm seat as well as coaming bolsters and

a centerline transom door. The high windshield is notable, not just

for its sturdy construction but for the clever reverse-angled spray

guard along the top. Below deck, the compact interior provides

berths for two with an enclosed head, mini-galley, and teak-andholly

cabin sole. The Coronet will cruise at 21–22 knots with a pair

of 320hp gas inboards and reach a top speed of about 31 knots.
