Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the model introduces technical refinements developed in-house while retaining the brand’s established design language.
Engineering Focus - A Patented Sea Chest System
A defining feature of the LMY 165 is its US-patented sea chest system, developed by George Chirakadze, President and CEO of Euro Marine Group, Lazzara’s parent company. Rather than relying on multiple hull penetrations for seawater intake and discharge, the yacht integrates these systems into a single structural unit built directly into the hull.
This approach reduces the number of openings below the waterline, streamlines engineering layout, and supports easier maintenance access. The yard states that the superyacht is equipped with fully redundant systems, underscoring a clear emphasis on operational reliability and safety.
Fuel capacity stands at 50,000 liters, supported by 12,000 liters of fresh water and 6,000 liters of black water storage, reinforcing the yacht’s cruising credentials.
Exterior Architecture Centered on Glass and Volume
Visually, the LMY 165 presents an elongated profile with a sculpted superstructure and strong horizontal lines. The silhouette is defined by an assertive bow, a clean sheer line, and extensive structural and decorative glazing that shapes both exterior character and interior atmosphere.
Glass plays a central role in the concept. Large-format windows run along the main deck and upper deck, drawing natural light deep into guest areas while reinforcing sightlines toward the sea. The overall stance remains sporty without sacrificing the proportions expected of a 50m displacement motor yacht.
The stern design introduces fold-out wings that extend the usable footprint of the beach club when deployed. This mechanical expansion creates a wider platform at water level, strengthening the yacht’s focus on outdoor living.
Fold-Out Terraces and Water-Level Living
The renderings highlight a beach club arrangement organized around a rectangular swimming pool integrated into the aft main deck. The pool sits at the heart of the outdoor social zone, framed by sunpads and lounge seating.
With the fold-out terraces deployed, the space opens outward to form a broad waterside environment. Wide side decks ensure clear circulation forward, maintaining practical movement patterns without disrupting guest areas.
Above, the upper deck is dedicated to open-air relaxation. Loose lounge seating is arranged aft, while forward a circular Jacuzzi sits beneath a sculpted hardtop. The layout favors privacy and unobstructed views, separating quiet lounging areas from the more animated beach club below.
Interior Philosophy - Scale, Privacy, and Light
While detailed interior imagery has not yet been released, the yard has outlined its guiding principles. The emphasis, according to Lazzara, is on scale, privacy, and architectural consistency rather than decorative excess.
Built with meticulous attention to detail, the LMY 165 is constructed from high-grade steel and aluminum, utilizing only the finest materials found in high-end superyachts."
Lazzara Yachts
Extensive glazing informs the interior layout, shaping bright, open living areas. The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests across six staterooms, with a full-beam master suite forming the centerpiece of the owner’s domain. The material direction is described as restrained and sophisticated, suggesting a focus on proportion, natural light, and clean lines over ornamental detailing.
The LMY 165 is powered by twin 1,400hp engines from either MAN or Caterpillar. This propulsion setup delivers a reported top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots, aligning with the yacht’s displacement profile and long-range intent.
A Smaller, Faster LMY Alternative
In addition to the newly revealed 50m flagship, Lazzara has confirmed that the smaller 38m Lazzara Yachts LMY 125 is in development, currently presented as “coming soon.”
The model accommodates 10 guests across five staterooms, supported by quarters for five crew in three cabins. With a 7,500-gallon fuel capacity and three-deck layout, the LMY 125 appears designed to balance high-speed capability with long-range practicality, broadening the appeal of the LMY lineup beyond the flagship segment.
At 38m overall with an 8m beam, the LMY 125 is positioned as a faster, performance-oriented platform. Powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, she is projected to reach 26 knots, with a cruising speed of 22 knots - a notable step up from the displacement profile of the 165.
As the largest model in the Lazzara Motor Yacht Series, the LMY 165 signals the yard’s intent to operate confidently within the 50m category. The integration of a patented sea chest system, full redundancy in onboard systems, and a beach club built around deployable terraces demonstrate a technical and spatial approach that prioritizes structural clarity and livability.
