The Tartan 4300 is a standout in modern American yacht design, blending advanced composite construction with the refined craftsmanship the brand is known for. Its infused epoxy-modified vinylester hull, structural grid system, and solid engineering throughout give the boat exceptional strength, rigidity, and long-term durability. Built to CE Category “A” offshore standards, it’s a yacht designed for sailors who value safety, performance, and reliability in demanding conditions.

Under sail, the 4300 delivers impressive handling thanks to its high-tech autoclave cured carbon fiber mast, carbon pocket boom, and well-laid-out Harken deck hardware. The self-tacking jib system, electric winch, and dual furlers make the boat easily managed by a couple, while still offering the performance sailors expect from Tartan. This boat comes with the desired and versatile keel/centerboard configuration—allowing owners to enjoy both offshore stability and shallow-water access, making the 4300 at home whether cruising coastal waters or setting out on bluewater passages.

Below deck, the 4300 showcases a warm, handcrafted cherry interior with a functional and comfortable layout. Long settees, a beautifully finished salon table, a well-equipped galley, and spacious forward and aft cabins provide excellent livability. With two full heads, separate stall showers, generous storage, and thoughtful ventilation, the Tartan 4300 balances traditional elegance with practical cruising features, resulting in a yacht that is both luxurious and truly capable.

The hull design of the 4300 continues the Tartan trend of long waterline, slippery entry forward, full and flat aft quarters and carefully sculpted balanced volume to produce a yacht that is easily driven and powerful for maximum performance.  Her long waterline length relative to over-all length provides a high theoretical hull speed and the full aft sections allow the 4300 to surf and extend her sailing and motoring length to provide fast and exhilarating passage making.  By maintaining balanced volume in the hull, the 4300 heals predictably and evenly, unlike many extreme designs that develop bad manners under difficult conditions.  Through optimized hull design the 4300 will extend your daily range, expanding the possibilities for weekend cruising and offering long daily passages offshore.

Safety and comfort aboard require a thoughtfully designed deck and cockpit and as with past Tartans, the 4300 will excel in this area. Visibility, wide and uncluttered sidedecks, and a deep and secure cockpit are essential elements of the 4300.  Additionally, the Tartan 4300 deck offers an abundance of ventilation through 14 opening portlights, 6 deck hatches and 4 dorade vents.A hardtop dodger is available, with the traveler mounted clear of the cockpit and coachroof.  27" lifelines, extended bow and stern rails and handrails with in easy reach offer on deck security and comfort.  A convenient walk through transom with platform provides access for swimming or for stern boarding from a dinghy.  The 4300 is fit with the best hardware from the best suppliers in the industry to assure that lines run free and easy.  Trimmed with just the right amount of exterior teak, the 4300 offers the look of a classic without maintenance becoming a burdensome taskmaster.

The Tartan 4300 has been designed with Tartan's "Cruise Control Rig"; key features are a double spreader tapered carbon mast, self-tacking 100% jib, optional masthead 150% reacher and Tartan's carbon composite, "Pocket Boom".  Her carbon rig is lighter, stiffer and stronger than aluminum; the weight savings aloft provide the stability equivalent of (5) 200 lb crewmembers on the rail.  Upwind sailing is made easy by single sheet trimming for the jib, tacking is as easy as a turn of the wheel, the jib tends to itself and with the traveler mounted either on the housetop or on the hardtop, the main is free and clear from the cockpit.   When its time to head for the harbor, the headsails are neatly rolled on the Harken furlers and the mainsail is conveniently dropped into the "Pocket Boom" and stowed with a zip of the sail cover, no sail ties needed, no muss or fuss.  Simply stated, the Tartan 4300 makes performance cruising easy.

The Tartan tradition of offering unmatched interior comfort is expanded in the Tartan 4300. The boat features a forward owners stateroom with a queen size double "island" berth for easy access and extensive lockers and storage for extended time aboard.  The forward head is accessed from this stateroom.  The center of the boat has a large main cabin area with plush seating, entertainment locker and plenty of storage in varnished cherry cabinetry.  The galley is fully equipped for preparing meals dockside or underway. A full nav station with electrical controls and nav locker to house a full array of navigation equipment rounds out the central living areas. Aft the 4300 boasts a single cabin providing private accommodations for 2 couples.  Finish throughout is varnished cherry cabinetry and trim, and a varnished hardwood sole, the 4300 surrounds her owner with opulent comfort.
