Lazzara enters expedition superyacht market

US-based Lazzara Yachts, part of the Euro Marine Group, has entered the expedition superyacht market with the sale of its largest yacht to date – the 49.5m Lazzara EX 165. The news follows the recent sale of the Lazzara UHV 150, further solidifying the company’s position as a serious contender in the superyacht segment.

Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the Lazzara EX 165 is designed to accommodate 12 guests in six staterooms with accommodation for a crew of 11, including the captain. It will be built to comply with Red Ensign Group (REG) Large Yacht Code standards and Lloyd’s commercial classification for unrestricted navigation.

The sale was completed in partnership with Mortlock Yachts, whose founder and director, Tristan Mortlock, introduced the buyer to Lazzara and represented the client throughout the acquisition process. Mortlock will continue to represent the client throughout the build and will manage the yacht’s charter operations upon delivery.

Designed for global cruising, the Lazzara EX 165 will feature expansive interior volumes and custom design options to suit the unique lifestyle of its owner. At a time when demand for expedition yachts is on the rise, the Lazzara EX 165 meets the market’s call for range, autonomy, and resilience without compromising appearance, Lazzara says.

“The Lazzara EX 165 represents a new benchmark in expedition yacht engineering, expanding our range with enhanced capabilities for extended offshore cruising,” says Lazzara CEO George Chirakadze.

Construction of the Lazzara EX 165 is scheduled to begin in early 2026.
