About the Vessel

The vessel is a modern 36' Tiara power cruiser "La Dolce Vita IV" which is built in the United States by a highly regarded boat manufacturer.

  • Tiara Yachts pays special attention to comfort, seaworthiness, and safety. The specifications and craftsmanship are engineered to exceed US Coast Guard minimum safety standards by vessel manufacturers.
  • The vessel is fully equipped with Federal and State required safety equipment and is annually inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.
  • This 36' cruiser is comfortable and roomy, which personalizes your charter for a special occasion.
  • We take pride in a vessel that is meticulously clean and very well maintained.
  • The vessel has twin Cummins diesel engines, which are noted for generating low emissions and are designed to be environmentally friendly. These engines emit low exhaust levels, unlike many marine diesel engines that can make a day of boating uncomfortable due to excessive exhaust fumes.
  • With a cruising speed of 23 knots, the benefit of this power vessel allows us to mobilize from one location to another in comfort and in a timely manner, unlike being on a sailboat. As a result, we are able to cover more territory and visit more focal points in considerably less time than it would take underway on a sailboat.
  • The vessel does not give its passengers the feeling they are on a typical charter fishing boat for such a personal event.

The vessel is moored in beautiful Sausalito. Several excellent restaurants are located close by. There is available parking and restrooms at the marina. Call for directions and additional information.
