The first unit in Lazzara Yachts' LPC 300 series is well underway at the shipyard's facilities in Antalya, Turkey.
The 21.3-metre model has been commissioned by a French client and will largely cruise the Mediterranean, with plans to spend the first summer season in Turkey and the Greek islands. Delivery is scheduled for October 2024.
Previously named the LPC 70, the model outgrew its name due to its "massive interior volume".
"I don't think there's another 70ft yacht out there that has this much space – around 300 square metres – and it's because of our extra deck," explained David Galante, executive vice president of Lazzara Yachts. "We're able to do everything that we already do on our other, larger builds."
Accommodation is for ten guests across five cabins, with additional space for four crew. This includes an 8.8-metre-wide master cabin on the lower deck, designed with a private door to the beach club and a mezzanine that opens to the ocean. The model will also be fitted with floating shelves and a vanity to ensure unimpeded sea views.
Fully insulated walls and ceilings allow for entertaining in a vessel of this size without disturbing guests. Renderings reveal a sundeck spa pool with bar, beach club arranged with sunloungers and ample opportunities for al fresco dining and lounging.
Other highlights include a wine bar and a hydraulic platform that can carry Jet Skis and a 4.6-metre tender.
While the contracted maximum speed for the LPC 300 is 18 knots, the shipyard believes that the new model will end up exceeding expectations.
Construction is also well underway on the first hull in Lazzara Yachts' 30.5-metre series, the UHV 100. Design standouts include a "huge pilot house", a full-beam upper deck saloon and a six-person dip pool.
