What is Lazzara Yachts?
Lazzara Yachts is an American luxury-yacht brand that builds limited-production sport yachts, motor yachts, high-volume superyachts and power catamarans. The company emphasizes advanced engineering, extensive owner personalization and unusually generous interior and exterior living areas. Its portfolio ranges from the 67-foot LSX 67 Sport Express to large UHV, LMY and expedition-superyacht projects approaching 165 feet.
Lazzara’s current headquarters are in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, while new yachts are constructed through Euro Marine Group’s shipbuilding operation in Turkey. The official brand name is Lazzara Yachts, although buyers may also search for “Lazzara boats,” “Lazzara motor yachts” and “Lazzara yachts for sale.”
When was Lazzara Yachts founded?
The modern Lazzara yacht-building company was established around 1990–1991 by brothers Dick and Brad Lazzara, but the family’s fiberglass-boat heritage began in 1955 with their father, Vince Lazzara. Vince pioneered large fiberglass construction and later created Columbia Yachts and Gulfstar Yachts. Dick and Brad subsequently developed a new luxury-motor-yacht business in Tampa, Florida.
The first Lazzara 76 was introduced in 1992 and became known for its broad-beam layout, customization and efficient use of space. That model established many of the ideas that continued through later Lazzara flybridge yachts, LSX sport yachts and today’s Ultra High Volume and power-catamaran ranges.
Who owns Lazzara Yachts, and where are new Lazzaras built?
Lazzara Yachts is owned by Euro Marine Group, which acquired the brand effective October 31, 2018. Euro Marine Group owns and manages the Lazzara brand along with yacht-design, engineering, technology, supply and shipyard businesses.
All current Lazzara products are built at Euro Marine Shipyards in the Antalya Free Zone of Turkey. The integrated yard can construct yachts in composite, aluminum and steel and performs hull fabrication, engineering, outfitting and interior production. Lazzara remains an American brand with U.S. sales operations, but buyers should distinguish that brand identity from the current Turkish construction location.
Is Lazzara Yachts still in business, and what models does it currently offer?
Yes, Lazzara Yachts remains active under Euro Marine Group and continues to launch, build and market new yachts. The official portfolio is organized around the LSX Sport Express, LSY Sport Yacht, LMY Motor Yacht, UHV Ultra High Volume and LPC Luxury Power Catamaran families. The company has also expanded into expedition yachts with the sold Lazzara EX 165 project.
Published models include the LSX 67 and LSX 85; LSY 95 and LSY 120; LMY 125 and LMY 165; UHV 90, UHV 100, UHV 125 and UHV 160; and LPC 300 and LPC 500. Some are delivered or under construction, while others are future or built-to-order programs. For example, the first UHV 100 was launched in April 2026, while the first UHV 90 was scheduled for delivery near the end of 2026. Buyers should verify the current engineering, construction and delivery status of the exact model before signing a contract.
What is the difference between the Lazzara LSX, LSY, LMY, UHV and LPC series?
Each Lazzara series is designed around a different combination of performance, interior volume and owner lifestyle.
The LSX Sport Express range emphasizes speed, contemporary styling, beach-club access and indoor-outdoor entertaining. The LSY Sport Yacht family applies sporty styling and performance to larger yachts with more staterooms and professional crew accommodations. The LMY Motor Yacht range follows a more traditional multi-deck luxury-yacht format, while the UHV series prioritizes exceptional gross tonnage and residential space for its overall length. The LPC series uses a patented power-catamaran platform to produce wide living areas, shallow draft and a full-beam lower accommodation deck.
A buyer prioritizing fast weekends and water access may prefer an LSX. Owners planning longer voyages or hosting larger groups may be better suited to a UHV, LMY or LPC, depending on the desired speed, beam, crew requirements and marina access.
How are Lazzara Yachts constructed?
Lazzara builds yachts in composite, aluminum or steel according to the size and mission of the project. Its composite hulls and superstructures can use epoxy resin, E-glass, carbon fiber and PVC foam cores. Epoxy and carbon construction are intended to provide a favorable strength-to-weight relationship while supporting complex shapes and large interior volumes.
Construction varies materially by model. The LSX 67 uses advanced carbon-fiber construction, while the UHV 100 uses an epoxy-reinforced composite structure. The sold EX 165 expedition yacht is designed with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure for unrestricted long-range operation. A pre-owned buyer should therefore use a surveyor with specific expertise in the yacht’s actual construction material rather than treating every Lazzara as a conventional fiberglass boat.
How does Lazzara compare with Sunseeker, Pershing, Azimut, Horizon and Sanlorenzo?
Lazzara occupies a boutique, highly personalized position between established production-yacht builders and completely bespoke superyacht yards. Its LSX models may be considered alongside performance yachts from Sunseeker, Pershing, Princess and Azimut. The larger LMY and UHV yachts appeal to buyers also evaluating Horizon, Ocean Alexander, Sanlorenzo, Custom Line and selected Benetti models, while the LPC range competes with large luxury power catamarans from specialist multihull builders.
Lazzara’s main distinctions are limited production, unconventional space planning, extensive glazing, beach-club integration and the ability to offer several fundamentally different yacht types under one brand. Unlike a high-volume manufacturer, Lazzara does not attempt to place the same model in every major harbor. This is a market-positioning assessment based on Lazzara’s current range, construction approach and emphasis on low-volume customization.
What are the most popular pre-owned Lazzara models?
The Lazzara LSX 75 is currently the most frequently represented model on the brokerage market, followed by the 80 Flybridge Motor Yacht and LSX 67. Other recognizable used models include the Lazzara 64, 68, 74, 76, 80, 94, LSX 92 and larger 116-foot motor yachts.
Historically important models include the original Lazzara 76, the wide-body Lazzara 80, the performance-oriented LSX 75 and LSX Quad 78, and the flagship LSX 92. Because many older Lazzaras were heavily customized, two yachts advertised under the same model designation can have different stateroom arrangements, engines, bridge configurations and equipment. Buyers should compare hull numbers, original build specifications and refit records, not just model names.
Which new Lazzara models should buyers know about?
The LSX 67, UHV 100 and LPC 300 represent three distinct directions in Lazzara’s modern product strategy.
The LSX 67 is a performance-oriented sport yacht with fold-down cockpit terraces, an open beach-club area and a full-beam owner’s suite with direct aft-deck access. A 2023 brokerage example uses twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350 diesels and is advertised with an approximate 32-knot top speed.
The UHV 100 is a 100-foot displacement motor yacht focused on interior volume, five-stateroom accommodations and extended cruising at approximately 12 knots. The LPC 300 is a 70-foot, 3-inch power catamaran with a 29-foot, 3-inch beam, five guest staterooms and a patented full-beam lower deck. The LPC 300 is listed with a 16-knot cruise and approximately 21-knot maximum speed.
Are Lazzara Yachts considered high-quality, and are they suitable for offshore cruising?
Lazzara is positioned as a premium, low-volume builder, but the capability of an individual yacht depends on its model, construction, maintenance and intended operating profile. The company controls design, engineering and construction through Euro Marine Group and uses composite, aluminum or steel materials appropriate to different projects.
The LSX range is designed primarily for performance cruising, island travel and fast coastal passages. UHV and LMY models emphasize greater volume, tankage and extended comfort, while the EX 165 is being developed to Lloyd’s commercial classification and Red Ensign Group Large Yacht Code standards for unrestricted navigation. Buyers should evaluate the specific yacht’s hull design, stabilization, range, classification, machinery redundancy and sea-trial performance rather than applying one broad offshore judgment to the entire brand.
Can a Lazzara Yacht be owner-operated, and can you live aboard one?
Smaller Lazzaras may be operated by experienced private owners, but larger UHV, LMY, LSY and LPC yachts are normally designed for professional crew. The LSX 67’s IPS propulsion and joystick controls can make low-speed maneuvering more manageable, although a 67-foot yacht still requires suitable experience, training and insurance approval.
Larger models provide dedicated captain and crew accommodations. The LPC 300 sleeps four crew members, the LPC 500 accommodates five, and the UHV 160 provides quarters for approximately nine or ten crew. These yachts are well suited to extended or seasonal living aboard because they offer private staterooms, full galleys, laundry and climate-control systems, large salons and substantial outdoor living areas.
How do Lazzara owners typically use their yachts?
Lazzara owners use their yachts for coastal cruising, Bahamas and Caribbean travel, Mediterranean seasons, entertaining, swimming, watersports and prolonged stays aboard. LSX owners often prioritize fast destination travel, beach-club living, waterfront dining and weekend escapes. One LSX 67 Open was purchased specifically to serve as a luxury tender for a larger superyacht.
UHV, LMY and LPC owners have more space for multigenerational family trips, several couples, professional crew and extended cruising. A repeat Lazzara owner who had operated an LSX 75 for more than 15 years ordered the first UHV 90, illustrating how owners may move from performance cruising into a larger, more residential yacht without leaving the brand.
A Lazzara can also be used on the Great Lakes, but buyers must evaluate air draft, beam, marina dimensions, fuel access, winterization and heated-storage options. The LPC models’ exceptionally wide beams make slip and haul-out planning particularly important.
What recent awards has Lazzara Yachts won?
The Lazzara LPC 300 won the Motor Yacht Under 25 Metres category at the 2026 International Yacht & Aviation Awards. The award recognized the yacht’s patented full-beam lower-deck concept and the amount of guest space provided within a 70-foot power-catamaran platform.
The LSX 67 Limited Edition won two honors at the 2023 International Yacht & Aviation Awards: Motor Yacht Under 25 Metres and Best Master Cabin. Its owner’s suite opens directly to the aft entertainment and beach-club area. The UHV 87 also received recognition at the 2022 awards, including an honor for its main salon and high-volume interior design.
How much does a Lazzara Yacht cost, and what should buyers inspect?
Lazzara prices span from the mid-six figures for some older yachts to more than $15 million for new or highly sophisticated models. As a 2026 market snapshot, MarineSource.com showed more than 30 Lazzaras for sale, the majority pre-owned, with advertised prices ranging from approximately $449,000 to $15.6 million. The LSX 75 was the most frequently listed model. Asking prices are not the same as completed sale prices.
A pre-owned Lazzara should receive a complete marine survey, propulsion inspection, haul-out and sea trial. Important areas include:
-Composite-hull moisture, carbon or fiberglass laminates and previous repairs
-Main engines, IPS pods or shaft systems, generators and exhaust equipment
-Stabilizers, steering, joystick controls and hydraulic systems
-Fuel, freshwater and waste tanks
-Electrical distribution, batteries, inverters and vessel-management systems
-Windows, exterior doors, terraces, beach-club mechanisms and teak
-Air conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing and interior appliances
-Maintenance records, refit history, charter use and remaining warranties
The survey team should understand the specific construction and propulsion package. An LSX with carbon construction and IPS pods requires different expertise from a steel-and-aluminum expedition project or a wide-beam LPC catamaran.
Why should I use Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales to purchase a Lazzara Yacht?
A Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales yacht broker can act as the buyer’s advocate when locating, evaluating and purchasing a pre-owned or centrally listed Lazzara. A JBYS broker can compare legacy flybridge yachts with newer LSX, UHV and LPC models, obtain build and service records, analyze comparable sales and coordinate qualified hull, engine, pod-drive and systems surveyors.
JBYS currently displays a 2023 Lazzara LSX 67 in Fort Lauderdale at an advertised price of $2,999,999. The yacht is centrally listed by another brokerage, demonstrating how JBYS can assist its clients even when a different company controls the listing.
Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales has nine offices across Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Florida, giving its brokers experience with both Great Lakes and coastal ownership. The team can also assist with negotiations, financing, insurance, purchase documentation, delivery and regional service planning. Lazzara is not included among the new-boat brands displayed by JBYS, so the company should principally be viewed as a buyer’s broker for pre-owned or brokerage-listed Lazzaras unless an authorized new-build relationship is separately confirmed.
