Tiara Yachts is preparing to make a big splash at the Miami International Boat Show in February with the 56 LS-the largest, most ambitious outboard model the builder has ever created.

The debut of this model in the Luxury Sport series will come about six months after Tiara first announced the 56 LS, back in August 2024. Just based on that announcement's virtual renderings and animations, the company says it already has multiple hulls on order.

Renowned worldwide for their designer styling, immense luxury, and inspired sports performance, from Australia's Riviera, this is the Sport Yacht Platinum Edition.

According to the withdrawal notice, approximately 90,000 public comments were submitted on the proposal, which was introduced on August 1, 2022, as an amendment to the current right whale vessel speed reduction rule.
