"What could possibly go wrong?" is exactly the question to ask in planning every single aspect of a yacht :) Now, personally I would never own a composite yacht, but that does not prevent me from being interested in the design and work that goes into them. The design and layout of the cat made me sit up and pay attention... Now there's a cat I'd love to watch a walkthrough of, once it's finished :) (and I'm not usually into cats either). Great video. I'll for sure pay attention to Lazzara yachts from now on.
It’s incredible to see the shipyard owner’s background in nuclear submarines influencing their approach here! No wonder they’ve prioritized so many safety features and redundancies to handle any situation at sea and guarantee peace of mind for the yacht owner. Truly impressive! Thank you, David, for teaching us something new with each of your videos!
Too bad they got rid of the jet ski pods on the sides of the yacht. That was one of the coolest features on a Lazzara. That plus their 'atrium' effect that worked exceptionally well. We only have seen the one Lazzara. Hopefully we see the catamaran pretty soon. I got excited when I heard Bering was going to be making catamarans, and also Wider and Silver. Now that Lazzara is building one, maybe Numarine and Mengi Yay will build one next. That would be amazing to see. You got any insight there David?
Quite a while ago I came across their models and esp. the larger Cat LPC 500 stood out for me, did not see a layout like this before (5 Staterooms on main level).Asking why nobody else does / did, may be gone too far? Obviously not seeing the actually build the smaller sibling already. Thx so much David and team to also show those shipyards beside the main & usual one
2:51 George no sound. But look at his posture, his facial and hand gestures. That is one driven man who is doing everything he can to produce the best he can to using the best material available. The only other company that i know that builds everything in-house is the UK company Princess.
Always enjoy your show. How about you do a few episodes on hi quality small yachts.( ex, maybe a Hinckley) I like the Big Yacht Porn but small boats are sexy too. Keep up the good work.
What an informative video. I do have a question, however. What about safety redundancy? As with Bering, we see it everywhere. Is that also a factor with Lazzara?
Nice to see a Turkish yacht builder prioritise quality construction, but troubling to see the Lazarra website claim to be an AMERICAN company, with no mention of Turkey AT ALL. The first line of the 'about us' section reads: "Lazzara Yachts is a legendary American company" (please note the use of present tense) and the HQ address is apparently Fort Lauderdale, which is not in Turkey... at least last time I checked. And it would have been nice if David Seal's employers, Northrop & Johnson, did not also offer a misleading description of the company on THEIR website (where they are selling at least one Lazzara Yacht) as "Lazzara Yachts are an American yacht building tradition" (again, present tense). Yes, Lazzara did build boats in Florida, but not any more, since they were bought from the restructured remnants of the original ownership group of Americans. So I guess striving for the highest quality does not extend beyond the design and production departments to the folks in marketing.
Lazzzara is an American company. They have moved their construction to Turkey. But nothing has changed. It is still American. Is Ford a Chinese company because they build cars in China?
@@kokomo9764 A yacht builder that is 100% owned by a Turkish company (having purchased the brand from its American founders) is run from, and builds all its boats in, Turkey is by any rational definition a Turkish company, despite the technicality of the brand name being retained in an intermediate US holding company. Having some operations overseas as part of a multi-national organisation, like Ford, is not a fair comparison. A company like Grand Banks, which builds all of its boats in Taiwan, but is still owned and run by Americans in USA still qualifies as an American company, but when every function is transferred overseas as here, then common sense would indicate the fundamental difference.
@@grondhero No, I am merely commenting on a comments page that a company is being economical with the truth, and then engaging with the comments of others who may hold a different point of view... or am I missing the point of comments pages ? And it should be obvious that my point was not where companies CAN build, but rather that they should be up-front about where they DO build.
@@RandomGuyRandomNumber Clearly you fail to communicate or comprehend what you're reading. In addition you are "being economical with the truth" as *Euro Marine* also states _"Lazzara Yachts is a legendary American company with decades of yacht building experience, delivering innovation and uniqueness in everything we do."_ Why did you ignore that? Or did you not do full research? Shipyards are still there in Florida. Are you saying someone else owns them, even though their office is there? A simple street view would have helped you.
Couldn’t agree with you more David, excellent shipyard, great video.
Thanks for watching Tristan - let’s catch up soon 😁
I do not know about lazzara, but I can definitely tell you are one of the best sellers I have heard.

It's nice to see competition in high quality yachts.

Waiting for the LSY series, beautiful yachts.

Good pitch. Other yards might do well to watch those couple of Antalya builders and take on board some of the key principles they apply.

Thanks - we should be filming at Zeelander soon!

You're getting riled up over a company's HQ and locations where companies can build.
