Lazzara Yachts has officially commenced construction of the Lazzara UHV 160, with delivery scheduled for mid-2028. This groundbreaking Ultra High Volume (UHV) superyacht, offering an interior volume just under 500 GT, sets a new benchmark in composite superyacht construction through its innovative design, expansive living spaces, and advanced engineering.

The interiors of the first hull are being developed in collaboration with the acclaimed UK- based H2 Yacht Design Studio, while naval architecture is entrusted to the renowned Dutch firm Mulder Design. Engineering has been completed in collaboration with U.S.-based Euro Marine Group.

The UHV 160 features Lazzara's signature exterior styling, defined by a bold, masculine profile and continuous glazing extending from bow to stern. Social spaces span multiple decks, including the main deck, owner's deck, and an expansive flybridge, all designed to accommodate both formal and informal entertaining.

Comparable in interior volume to yachts in the 180-190-foot range, the UHV 160 redefines outdoor living with expansive deck areas, multiple alfresco dining spaces, and a versatile flybridge layout featuring generous and stylish seating, an al fresco dining table, a dedicated gym and yoga area, and sunbathing spaces. A standout feature is the yacht's vast aft beach club at the stern, complete with a jacuzzi and fold-out balconies, designed to be the most spacious beach club in its class and size category.

Built on a fast-displacement hull utilizing advanced epoxy E-glass composite construction, the UHV 160 is engineered for longevity, safety, and transatlantic capability. Fully redundant global systems and an advanced propulsion package with commercial pod drives ensure smooth, efficient, and environmentally conscious worldwide cruising.

The Lazzara UHV 160 accommodates up to 12 guests across six staterooms, with five crew cabins for up to 10 crew. Four expansive decks, including a full-beam owner's deck, deliver exceptional interior and exterior volume, combining comfort, performance, and refined luxury.
