First Lazzara UHV 100 has been launched

In terms of deck area and gross tonnage, the 30.5-meter new model from Lazzara Yachts is comparable to much larger yachts – its interior spaces occupy 260 sq. m, another 125 sq. m are dedicated to exterior areas, and the internal volume reaches 225 GT.

The American shipyard Lazzara Yachts developed both the exterior design and the interiors of the UHV series in-house. With the UHV 100, it continues to evolve the concept first embodied in the previous UHV 87 model, which successfully debuted at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2022.

Defining features of both yachts include a muscular hull and a distinctive glazing pattern that creates the illusion of more decks than actually exist.

One of the key differentiators of the UHV 100 is the "jacuzzi lounge" in the bow. The trapezoidal pool, accommodating six people, is complemented by a large seating group, whose modular design allows it to be used both as a dining area and a sunbathing zone.

Aft on the upper deck, guests will find another dining table and mobile sun loungers, which can be positioned in the sun during the day or stowed away during parties, for instance, to free up the terrace for cocktail buffets (the upper salon is also suitable for additional refreshment serving).

The cockpit lounge area connects to the beach club: by descending to the swim platform and raising the transom gate, guests can enjoy drinks from the bar located in the aft lounge.

The enclosed part of the main deck is occupied by a large salon and a spacious master suite situated in the bow of the yacht. Four guest suites, as well as three cabins for a crew of five, are located on the lower deck.

The builder particularly emphasizes that the displacement hulls of the UHV series yachts are constructed from aerospace-grade composite materials, ensuring an unprecedented strength-to-weight ratio. Therefore, with dimensions of 30.5 m in length, 7.2 m in beam, and a draft of 1.6 m, the half-load displacement of the UHV 100 is just 143 tons.

This lightness also positively impacts the vessel's performance. The UHV 100 is powered by two Volvo Penta D13 engines (800 hp standard, 1000 hp optional), capable of delivering a top speed of up to 16 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. And in economical 8-knot mode, the yacht can cover 1,100 nautical miles without refueling.
