Tiara Yachts are known for building mid-sized luxury yachts. The company’s founder, Leon Slikkers, owned and operated another yacht building company before he founded his second company, S2 Yachts (parent company to Tiara). Slikkers started out working at Chris Craft. Slikkers' and owned and operated Slickcraft, which focused on building motor powered boats. In the late 1960s many large public yacht companies were looking to buy smaller companies in the interest of drawing new stock holders and diversifying their stock. In September 1969, Slikkers sold the company, while still holding his position as President. After a few years with this new company, Slikkers left claiming that they were not committed to the same level of excellence as he was. On February 18, 1974, S2 Yachts was founded. S2 began rolling sailboats off the lot almost right away, however, a few more years down the line Leon began to feel the same pressures as before. Fortunate for him, he had a larger company this time, more capital than before, and both his sons on his side. All these factors allowed S2 to gain momentum in such a competitive industry, and still remain a private company. In 1976, Leon decided that it was time for another change of pace within the company. These changes lead S2 Yachts to building motor yachts. As a result of the high sales of this new line of yachts, it was decided to create a totally new division in the company that would focus on motor yachts only and Tiara Yachts was incorporated. The Tiara design and quality have made the brand much sought after on the used boat market. The yachts are well made with high-end components and interior accommodations installed on every vessel. Tiara yachts tend to hold their value as a cruiser and open fishing boat.
