Lazzara Yachts For Sale

Come now with me to 1960. Vince decided to start his own company — "Columbia Yachts” which would become the world’s largest manufacturer of fiberglass sailboats. In 1967 he sold Columbia, moved to Florida and started a new company — "Gulfstar” Yachts” which built high quality power and sailing yachts known for their designs.

Now to meet Brad and Dick, Vince’s two sons, who in 1974 saw a prospering family endeavor opening up right before their very eyes and decided to join their dad in “Gulfstar” which became the charter sailboat dominator in the world.

In 1975, Vince and the boys began focusing on building high-quality, high-performance motor yachts and took the company to a level that could meet the ever-growing demand. Vince held strong in the industry with a leading reputation. Hence, the story leads us from a renowned sail-boat manufacturer to a turned diesel-powered motor yacht builder! Now I have you sitting on the edge of your seat…don’t I?

It’s not so hard to understand how this shift would happen, as motor yachts were becoming ex-tremely HOT in the yacht world. Say goodbye to Gulfstar as Vince would now make a total 180 degree spin and begin exclusively building larger motor yachts. He seemed to satisfy the need for either an owner-operated or captained vessel.

As one may already know, being Dick Lazzara’s name is synonymous with LAZZARA, he and his brother, Brad were hitting the creative juice buttons and their focus began to turn towards an innovative new yacht that they had confidence would be a trailblazer for the yachting world. So, not only was a new company needed but a new infrastructure too.

Selling their piece in “Gulfstar”, they set out on the task to their goal - building the most innovative motor yachts imaginable at this time.

Turn the page to 1992, the Lazzara 76, was born and what a tremendous response it received . Offering the advantages of being both a production AND custom yacht, the prospective owners were being offered a chance to personalize their yacht while also enjoying the perks of ensuring it was in the hands of a large-scale production boat builder.

Dick and Brad took the market by storm with innovations in comfort, style and nautical reliability and - the highlight - their trademarked Skylounge Cabriolet. For the first time ever, the open flybridge would now be transformed into a studio level living area of luxury on their Lazzara 80, turning into the builder’s most popular model ever.

The fun continued with a 106, 110, and 116 model - each customized to its owner’s desires and unique to its own. Joe, Rich, and Tony – as well as Brad’s son Steve, had all joined the team by 2005 and the family celebrated their 50th Anniversary in the boating industry!

In 2006, the LSX product line had all eyes on it. The LSX 75 won high accolades in the sport yacht category with its performance, style and ‘sexy’ appeal never before seen. The line - up of yachts from 64 to 116 feet were jaw dropping delights as each one was unveiled!

Don’t forget to try out her 360 degree rotating sofa in the aft cockpit or take a dip in the jacuzzi on her foredeck. Now - did we forget anything? Allow the brothers to add it for you if so!
