Surveying The Sea

Surveying the sea in Lazzara’s new luxury Superyacht

Based in Tampa, Florida, the Lazzara Yacht Company is a family owned business that specializes in limited edition, personalized luxury yachts. Founded in 1991 by brothers Dick and Brad Lazzara, the company continues to push the boundaries of both innovation and design.

The Lazzara 92 LSX combines the capabilities and sleek lines of a sophisticated express yacht while using an economy of space to provide the amenities of a superyacht without the heavy birthday cake massing.

A spacious flying bridge, incorporated into the profile of the yacht, connects with a signature atrium area available in one of two layouts. A tinted visor, integrated into the mast, eliminates the visibility-reducing side structure. Intuitive

joystick handling allows easy docking and close maneuvering, even for the less experienced owner. Towards the rear, a retractable sun roof extends just over the dining table allows you to linger on after lunch to enjoy the easy company of friends or to step out into the glorious open air of the swim platform for some sun kissed therapy.

In the aft, a large utility garage can store a selection of watersport toys. Showcasing a design sensibility that optimizes the economy of space, at a touch of a button, this garage can be maneuvered to create a spacious deck area. As the transom door rises, a section of the swim platform lowers and a panel, flush overhead within the garage, flips down hydraulically to become a wall with the rest of the swim platform. This design facilitates a one hundred

and sixty square foot teak beach to lounge in your own sea level sala, complete with large, flat screen that folds down from a retractable wall.

The interiors of the 92 have been built completely outside in one single module and then dropped into the hull by four overhead cranes. This allows for the superior craftsmanship evinced in a high contrast color scheme, complemented by supple leather, stainless steel accents and exotic wood finishes.

The full beam master stateroom includes a workout room with an optional Jacuzzi that can be customized to any specification. A wall panel in the room retracts into a private water-level platform to provide you with a teak deck for an intimate communion with the ocean sunrise or to enjoy the evening ocean sounds and smells of the waves ethereally illumined by the port lights. Two guest staterooms and a further VIP stateroom in the bow are finished with the same high standards. All include en suite heads.

Taking a propulsion system first introduced in the 75, the 92 is powered by eight forward–facing, counter-rotating props driven by four Volvo Penta diesel engines. These allow the boat to achieve a maximum speed of thirty knots. Lightweight vinylester resin and balsa core E-glass create a combination of strength and lightness and adds to the fuel efficiency.

With only five production slots open for 2009, the Lazzara 92 will provide its unmistakable style, luxury and performance to only the most select group of buyers.
