Tiara 56 LS, A comfortable, luxury and high-powered cabin cruiser

The Tiara 56 LS combines a traditional and sporting style

The Tiara 56 LS is the latest model from the Michigan-based manufacturer, and is also the longest and fastest in the LS range. During our visit to the 2025 Miami Boat Show, we had a chance to take a look at this beautiful craft.

Presented in preview at the Miami Boat Show 2025, the Tiara 56 LS is to date the largest outboard model in the range. It also bears the initials LS, which stand for Luxury Series at the American manufacturer.

True to the image of the shipyard, the 56 LS has a fairly traditional yet modern look with simple lines, a taut bow and a streamlined wheelhouse that accentuates the sporty look of the whole. The boat extends into a large swim platform that also accommodates the outboard engines.

In fact, the 56 LS is also the shipyard's first model to be equipped with four engines, and for the occasion the engineers have pulled out all the stops, since the version presented at the show is equipped with four 600 hp Mercury Verado V12 engines. A respectable power of 2400 hp, which propels the boat to more than 57 mph (50 knots).

To support such mechanics, the 56 LS benefits from a brand new hull inspired by the other models in the series.

Like all the other models in the LS series, the 56 prioritizes comfort on board. This starts with the large cockpit, whose folding sides make it possible to almost double the living space while offering easy access to the water. Tiara also proposes two cockpit configurations: one for families and the other more geared towards fishing.

On the pleasure version that we visited, there is a large rear seat and, accessible from the swim platform, an outdoor kitchen with a grill. And, a little surprise, the whole thing lifts up to provide access to a large storage area. Another bench seat, with its back to the road, creates a dining area for four people.

From the cockpit, the wide gangways make access to the bow very comfortable. In keeping with the current trend, this space has a small lounge area for having a coffee, lounging on the comfortable benches which, by the way, can accommodate 9 to 10 people! You can also transform the whole thing into a sunbathing area to enjoy the sun.

Two large cabins with private head

Access to the wheelhouse is convenient, either from either side of the central rear seat or through the two side doors. Bathed in light thanks to the huge sunroof, the interior features a complete kitchen area against the cockpit bench, which is rather clever. For the rest, this wheelhouse is organized around an L-shaped seat with a table in the center, while on the port side, another seat allows you to relax.

Of course, there is storage space under all these benches. Further forward, the helm is modern, ergonomic and fully equipped with space for three large screens and all the necessary controls, while three people can sit in front (in a bit of a tight fit).

The sleeping area features two real cabins, each with its own head.

The guest cabin is located at the bow, while the owner's cabin is very wide, with a sofa on one side and a worktop on the other that can be used as a desk. The direct access to the bathroom is nice, but it's a shame that these two cabins are sorely lacking in natural light.

As usual with Tiara, the equipment is quite good and the list of options for customizing your boat is also very comprehensive.

At the time of writing, the official price has not been announced, but considering the price of the 48 LS, the 56 LS should be around $2.5 million.
