    Spotted at the Lauderdale Yacht Basin along New River, one of Lazzara's finest floating sculptures... the Lazzara 110. This is "Silver-C"...

    I know I m Reviving a 16 year old thread ... but a few weeks ago I was searching for info on the boat the bosses were making an offer on and found this, right here on YF!

    since launched in 2005 as SilverC, she became Halftime and The Beeliever and now has been renamed La Balsita (means little Raft in Spanish)

    closed on Wednesday, brought her home from FTL to Miami and doing a shake down cruise to ocean reef this week end.

    the 84 is under contract with surveys scheduled for Thursday.

    Ya know, I can return to south FL to help. Just keep the ding bats away and a fresh pillow in the engine room.

    Does anyone make a modern Lazzara equivalent? Seems like there aren’t many yachts with the same speed and range combo as these have had.

    i really do. I ran the 84 skylounge for 5 years and it is a great boat. Tops at 31 kts can cruise up to 26. Only 76 GPH at 20 kts. Very well designed systems and accessibility

    the 116 is a bit slower topping at 24kts but we usually cruise at hull speed most of the time especially on the longer run to the Bahamas

    engine room, systems etc are all well designed.

    like every boat it doesn’t mean they don’t have a few issues or things where you wonder what they were thinking but it s mostly simple things that can be easily remedied

    like on the 84, for some reason they ended the rub rail 20’ from the stern. No reason. That was the first thing I noticed when I first looked at the boat. Pita... you have to set a fender aft everytime you dock. The 116 has a nice rubrail all the way

    my favorite “feature” on most of them is the free natural shower over the stern winches and cleats. For some reason, Lazzara decided that routing the top deck drain inside the support pipes was not necessary and they just drilled a couple of holes in the toe rail for water to drain outside... and on whoever is handling stern lines. It s almost funny.

    I don’t like general brand comparisons but I think Hatteras would be the first one that comes to mind especially if looking for a skylounge. Burns a little more fuel but better in head seas. What made me recommend the 84 Lazzara over the hatt 5 years ago was having 5 staterooms plus 2 crew vs 4 + 2. The 84 Lazzara is probably the only boat under 100’ with 5 guests rooms.

    for the last few years I think OA and Horizon have improved but if looking at boats in the 7 to 12 years range they were still a behind.

    but as we all know the perfect boat doesn’t exist

    Lazzara has just been restarted in Turkey but very different boats. They just launch an 87 “Ultra High Volume” and have a couple more boats being built. We ll see what happens

    How many crew did you have on the 84 and how many on the 110

    Depends. It was just the two of us on the 84 plus a stew when needed (usually if more than 4 or 6 people on the boat).

    Insurance mandates 2 named crew minimum on the 110 but we may add a full time stew. We ll see...

    What I do though is get some traditional crew tasks done by “contractors” like boat washer, cleaning. lady, etc Owners use the boat a lot, multiple times a week so using outside workers helps.

    You need more crew on a boat that size. Should really be running 4 if doing charters. Capt, Mate, stew, chef.

    Yeah on charter it will be 4 of us. I enjoy being both captain and chef though, especially with a much bigger galley :)

    Yeah, but you've got a whole lot more boat to deal with!

    Fifteen years ago I wondered if the design would stand the test of time. In a sea of designs meant to lure the latest trend seekers it certainly remains identifiable as a Lazzara... and that’s not a bad thing! Looking forward to Pascal’s impressions. :)

    As long as the Gen-Sets don't drive him crazy as the last boat did, I'm sure to hear good reports.
    He is also a MTU driver now.

    Indeed I m not a big fan of Ohnos. The 27.5s on the 84 worked fine and never let me down once I had a full set of spare sensors on board. :). The only thing was that the exhaust was a bit louder than Noethern Lights as if there wasn’t enough water flowing thru.

    these 45s are also a little loud, I m having them serviced this week so maybe new impellers will help.

    i think the 110/116s have good proportions. The 80/84s are a bit stubby up front and also a little too narrow.

    we put over 2000 hours on the 84 in 4 1/2 years and something like 5000 hours on EACH generator. According to my fuel log that was over 20k nm.

    Anyone who can handle the two most important onboard jobs (the latter being THE most important, of course :)) deserves utmost respect!
    All the very best for the shake down cruise.

    I knew a Westport 112 that was run by a Capt and Stew. They hired one or two deck with certain sized charters. They hired contractors for various jobs, but they washed the boat during non use times and lived aboard full time. I guess it can be done.
