Broker Overview

This 2008 Lazzara 116, named 'Serenity,' represents a compelling opportunity in the large motor yacht market. What immediately sets this vessel apart is the comprehensive, multi-million dollar refit completed in 2025. This isn't a cosmetic refresh; it's an extensive upgrade that effectively makes her a much newer yacht in terms of systems, technology, and interior finishes. She features five staterooms, accommodating up to twelve guests, which is a significant advantage for charter potential or large family use. The twin MTU Series 2000 16-cylinder engines provide reliable power, and the mention of low hours, coupled with full-time crew maintenance, indicates a vessel that has been professionally managed. Zero-speed stabilizers enhance comfort at anchor, a critical feature for yachts of this size. The integration of modern amenities like a Control4 AV system and iPad controls, along with a Jacuzzi and hydraulic swim platform, positions her as a turnkey solution for entertainment and luxury cruising. For a buyer seeking a proven platform with the benefits of recent investment, 'Serenity' offers a strong value proposition, particularly when considering the cost of new construction or undertaking such a refit yourself. Her past charter history also suggests a vessel capable of generating income, which can be a key consideration.

Expert Review

The Lazzara 116 is a well-regarded platform, known for its spacious interiors and practical layouts. Build quality from this era of Lazzara is generally solid, utilizing fiberglass construction for durability. 'Serenity' benefits significantly from its recent refit, which addresses many of the typical wear-and-tear items and updates dated systems often found on yachts of this vintage. The MTU Series 2000 engines are a robust choice, offering good performance and reliability, though their maintenance demands are higher than smaller diesels. When surveying, particular attention should be paid to the quality and documentation of the 2025 refit – ensure all major systems, especially plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, were properly addressed. Inspect the condition of the running gear and ensure stabilizer service records are current. Comparables might include similar-sized Westport or Hargrave yachts from the same period, but few will offer the advantage of such a recent, extensive refit. This vessel presents a strong value proposition for a buyer prioritizing modern amenities and updated systems without the new build price tag.
