50 Years of Inspired Luxury
Since 1974, there has been a single theme in all the boats we craft: that only the finest will do, from materials to quality standards, all the way through to the customer buying experience. This passion and drive instilled by Tiara Yachts founder Leon Slikkers is still alive today in the second and third generations of Slikkers family boat builders, as well as the employees at Tiara Yachts.

Leon Slikkers
A legacy of excellence
Over 60 years ago, Leon Slikkers embarked on a voyage to create the finest yachts in the world, made in the U.S.A. It all began when he founded Slick Craft in 1955. In 1974, he went on to establish S2 Yachts, Inc., later known as Tiara Yachts. Since then, the evolution of our designs, technology and manufacturing have evolved with the needs and desires of our customers.
