Lazzara Yachts New Web Site

Lazzara presents its new world wide web showroom.  Lazzara Yachts was founded in 1990, though in reality the Lazzara family boat building story starts much more before the nineties. The family Lazzara boat building experience starts in 1955, when Vince Lazzara constructs the biggest fiberglass boat of the time, a forty foot sailing yacht for himself.  After this in 1960 he starts Columbia Yachts which in 1967 he will sell, and a few years later will move to Florida and in 1970 founds Gulfstar Yachts which Lazzara will sell in 1989.  The next step for Lazzara will be to start building motor yachts with the family name, launching the Lazzara brand in 1990 and debuting with the 76 model in 1992.  In January 2015 following financial difficulties Lazzara will sell to the Avanti Group, consisting of private investor Geoff Bond and third-generation family members Joe and Steve Lazzara, moving to a new location in Tampa, Florida.  In 2018 Lazzara is sold again to Euro Marine Group of Georgian businessman Irakli Aslanishvili with offices in Fort Lauderdale and yacht building operations located in the Antalya Free Zone in Turkey.  Today Lazzara Yachts produces twelve yachts from the LSX 67 to the still in project LMY 165 divided into five series; LSX Series, LSY Series, LMY Series, UHV Series, and LPC Series.  Lazzara new website takes you around with the following buttons; Home, LSX Series, LSY Series, LMY Series, UHV Series, LPC Series, News, and More.  Lazzara is also present on social media with bottom page links taking you to its; Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, and You Tube pages.

New Model: Azimut Seadeck 9

Some projects can be born anywhere, others, due to their complexity, vision, and ambition, can only exist in one place.  Seadeck 9 belongs to the latter category and to the Azimut shipyard in Avigliana. This is where strategic craftsmanship, manufacturing, and cutting-edge technology converge in excellence. At 26 meters, the flagship of the Seadeck Series is a tangible expression of the site’s genius loci, the perfect union between craftsmanship and industry. An expertise developed over the years is supported by a €50 million investment plan, launched in 2023, which has redesigned spaces, processes, and production flows, enabling the construction of yachts up to 27 meters. With exteriors by Alberto Mancini and interiors by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez the Azimut Seadeck 9 is the most mature expression of the Series’ promise: back to nature. The Fun Island opens like a stage on the water: terraces extend across three levels, a pool reflects the sky, and the platform descends to embrace the sea. A 60-square-meter area designed to be experienced and shared. At the stern, the concept of “lifestyle” reclaims its true meaning: a space that cannot be imagined as anything other than vibrant. The interiors embody the same philosophy. Each space interprets the principles of Conscious Design by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez: empathetic spaces where beauty and well-being reinforce each other. Thun & Rodriguez create a simple and elegant language cantered on the relationship between people and the environment. The large, floor-to-ceiling windows and natural light deliver on the back-to-nature promise even inside, thanks to an architecture that becomes alive and sensorial, transforming with the sea. Continuing the sustainability journey already underway with the Series, the Seadeck 9 is ready to install the Volvo Penta hybrid propulsion system, confirming an approach that integrates technological innovation and environmental consciousness. The first Seadeck 9, which is the first of four reported under construction will be delivered to her owner in the summer of 2026 and will World debut at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival.

Project: ISA Yachts GTO 70

ISA Yachts presents the GTO 70 project, its smallest build to date and the second GTO line project. Unlike the GTO 100 which was designed by Marco Casali the GTO 70 is developed by a new collaboration with Galeazzi Design, which penned both the exterior and interior lines.  For the ISA GTO 70 Galeazzi presents a contemporary interpretation of a luxury Mediterranean speed sport yacht with an aggressive and functional design language, subdued to performance with an open hard-top design.  Compact, lightweight and radically geared toward speed, the ISA GTO 70 is not an exercise in style but an advanced engineering platform. The ultra-high-performance planning hull, developed by the ISA Yachts naval engineering team through in-depth computational fluid dynamics studies, is optimized to ensure stability, efficiency and precise handling even at top speeds.  The ISA Yachts GTO 70 offers a traditional Mediterranean open yacht layout with a cockpit offering a central sun-pad aft, C-shaped dinette to starboard, Summer galley to port, and dual helmsman seats seats to starboard and identical companionway seats to port.  The lower deck offers a three double cabins layout, with an owner stateroom at midships.  A separate galley with adjacent two berth crew cabin is located to starboard.  The ISA GTO 70 is to be powered by twin MAN 1800hp, but propulsion is not advised but with declared top speeds up to 55 knots, I'd imagine this to be surface drives.
