Lazzara Yachts is a legendary American company with decades of yacht building experience, delivering innovation and uniqueness in every design. As an experienced shipyard we have complete control over each and every build and we emphasize quality over quantity. This translates into building a “limited” number of yachts, so you’ll not find a Lazzara in every harbor.

Lazzara offers Express (LSX), Sport (LSY), Motor (LMY), Ultra High Volume (UHV), and Catamaran (LPC) series yachts. Lazzara owners become part of an exclusive group who appreciate the individuality of their vessel and the super yacht quality that goes into each and every build.

LOOKING FOR A PEDESTRIAN YACHT? KEEP ON WALKING.

Since Huckins was first launched in 1928, our yachts have been and continue to be as unique as the people for whom they are created. By designing and building yachts with our customers — not just for them — we champion individuality in a world that sees fewer examples every day.

But don't let Huckins' classic elegance give you the wrong impression. This is not your grandfather's yacht, and our high-performance hulls certainly aren't hewn from wood. Huckins has been utilizing fiberglass composite core construction for 40 years (initially AIREX ® and today Corecell ™ ), and we were one of the first powerboat builders to do so. All of our yachts are built from the most modern materials available to reduce weight, increase strength and maximize fuel efficiency.

A Huckins isn't for everyone, but we make no apologies. For those who appreciate uniqueness and custom craftsmanship, our yachts represent timeless elegance. Visions come to life. And dreams come true. Not to mention the lightest, sweetest-handling and fuel-stingiest yachts ever to put miles between you and the fuel dock.

Huckins' Heritage and Brand: Learn about the legendary Quadraconic ® hull and the Sportsman 36.

The only reason to service a boat elsewhere is if you have a screw loose.

NEW CONSTRUCTION

Introduce yourself to the product of more than 96 years of perfectionism.

MERCHANDISE

We invite owners, friends & admirers to display your Huckins individuality.

58' Huckins Offshore "Kemosabe"

This 3 stateroom/3 head layout radiates elegance and distinction. Late model classic Huckins repowered in 2010 with QSM11 Cummins 670 HP. Epoxy glassed exterior and epoxy bilges when built. Traditional mahogany paneling in salon and owners stateroom. The fly-bridge and large cockpit make her a practical fishing boat as well as a fast, seaworthy, blue water family cruiser.

Hargrave Yachts

Hargrave custom yacht builders are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and are the makers of luxury yachts. They pride themselves on being one of the few builders of superyachts to offer fully custom built motor yachts for sale, in the 70 feet to 130 feet (21 meters to 40 meters) size category. Hargrave have a solid history in navel architecture, the company was originally set up by legendary designer Jack Hargrave over 35 years ago. Jack Hargrave was known to some as "The man who put America on water". When the current CEO Michael Joyce rejoined Hargrave's in 1997, shortly after Jack Hargrave had passed away, he saw the potential to take the company in another direction. Michael Joyce realized that the yachting industry had changed and that they needed to find a new niche if they wanted to keep on producing superyachts for sale. The idea of a fully customizable luxury yacht seemed like the logical progression for their superyachts design, as well as building upon the brand name started by Jack Hargrave. Today the Hargrave product line of luxury yachts has the following yachts for sale in their most recent brochure: The Hargrave Capri Series Motor Yacht 70 feet long (21 meters) has the capacity for 6 guests and 1-2 x crew members. The Hargrave Capri Series Motor Yacht 82 feet long (25 meters) has the capacity for 7 guests and 1-3 x crew members. Hargrave Capri Series Motor Yacht 90 feet long (27.5 meters) has the capacity for 7-10 guests and 2-3 x crew members. Hargrave Capri Series Motor Yacht 97 feet long (29.5 meters) has the capacity for 8-12 guests and 2-4 x crew members. Hargrave Capri Series Motor Yacht 100 to 130 feet long (30.5 to 40 meters) Raised Pilothouse Series has the capacity for 8-10 guests and 3-4 x crew members. Hargrave had an original goal of producing 100 custom designed and built boats for sale. They are well on their way to achieving that goal with many customers becoming repeat customers of theirs. There is a certain thrill to seeing your sailing yacht sailing once it has been built to your exact specifications. A Hargrave yacht is created by using the Hargrave approach towards custom building luxury motor yachts which has 6 steps: Design, Personalization, Visualization, Progress, Delivery and Support. Some of the luxury yachts that have been built this way by Hargrave are: 115' Tri-Deck Series MISSY B II; 108' Raised Pilothouse FREEDOM; 105' Capri Series Flush Deck DREAM; 99' Capri Series Raised Pilothouse KATINA; 96' Capri Raised Pilothouse La vida; 97' Raised Pilothouse OVERBORED; 97' Capri Fly Bridge HOOTER PATROL IV; 97' Raised Pilothouse GIGI; 94' Capri Sky Lounge SUGAR TOO; 94' Capri Sky Lounge CARISSIMA; 90' Raised Pilothouse DANI (Ex LADY MICHELLE); 90' Capri Sky Lounge MABUHAY LIMA; 81' Sky Lounge ED's TOY; 68' Capri TARA; 78' Sky Lounge BLUE MARTINI. The Hargrave focus on the personalization of the design and build of luxury yachts means that each yacht reflects the personality of the owner, as is often reflected in the names of the motor yachts. Alongside the charter and brokerage services Hargrave also discusses about the resale value of your boat at the time of the design conception. This is something that is not often discussed by other shipbuilders of a comparable standard. If you want to be fully included in all aspects of the design and build of your yacht and to create a highly individual vessel then you may find the service offered by Hargrave custom luxury yachts to be exactly what you are looking for.

Your Vision. Your Burger.

Creating a custom-built yacht is a journey unlike any other. Conceiving your yacht alongside Burger’s engineers and design team is a remarkable experience: developing the specifics, reviewing the plans and making decisions as you watch your dreams materialize before your eyes. Burger welcomes all clients to enjoy the progression of their journey while your custom creation evolves.

The first step in delivering the yacht of your dreams is to share your vision with the Burger design team and engineering staff. Our in-depth design brief helps define your priorities for a yacht. We recommend touring the Burger shipyard where you can meet our exceptional team, learn how your yacht will be constructed and to witness the true value of Burger’s experience and craftsmanship.

After defining your vision, your dreams will begin to take shape in dramatic conceptual designs, renderings and cost estimates, presented for your direction and approval before moving forward.

Conceptual designs and renderings include:

• Hull designs
• Exterior styling and interior floor plans
• Interior elevation renderings
• Engines, propulsion and electric generation equipment selection
• Special requirements, including recreational and/or shore tenders and storage options
• Navigation electronics and entertainment system descriptions

Once you’ve approved the design, Burger will prepare a detailed design and specification breakdown with descriptions of every step in your yacht’s construction; from its development milestones to key points of approval. With a finalized and signed contract, your yacht is on the way to fruition. Each step of the build is documented before work begins, with a detailed timeline that describes each step of the process, so that you remain involved and aware of our progress, every step of the way.

Months of careful planning and construction culminate when it’s time to launch your new Burger yacht. Along with the Burger team, you and/or your captain take your new Burger yacht through various sea trials, including at-sea observations and detailed walk-through inspections. At this stage, final modifications and refinements are made.

Congratulations; owning a Burger built for you also means you’ve joined the most exclusive fleet of yachts in the world. Our craftsmen share your pride in seeing your new yacht launched, and value each customer relationship that endures long after delivery.

CELEBRATING OUR ANNIVERSARY

Introducing seakeeper ride, legends are built.

Crafted with the same passion and dedication as they were 150 years ago, Chris-Craft boats continue to speak to boat enthusiasts everywhere. Whether it’s an open bow ideal for socializing, or a larger cruiser with a cabin for extended excursions, every inch of every boat we build is carefully considered.

A PASSION FOR WOOD

Experience chris-craft at a boat show near you, custom paint, stand out in a sea of sameness.

On the water or at the dock, nothing else looks – or feels – like a Chris-Craft. From the beginning, our obsession has been to design and build boats that are objects of desire. Now, and for decades to come.

A Discerning Eye for Detail

For 150 years, we’ve been building boats one way: by hand. From beautifully sculpted hardware made from custom-fabricated stainless steel, to carefully selected and meticulously applied teak, we design and craft every detail that you see and touch.

HIGHGROUND BOATWORKS 32 CENTER CONSOLE

Handbuilt in stuart, florida, “with years of experience between them in building premiere sportfishing boats, it’s exciting to see the highground boys bring their enthusiasm into starting their own production company.  i’m confident their boats will shine through with the same attention to detail they’ve already shown in the sportfishing world, and i’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with them to design a boat we can all be proud of.”, – dusty rybovich, true to the finest marine standards.

From the High Rocky Cliffs of Maine to the Highlands of the West Coast of Scotland Highground Boatworks is proudly located in Stuart Florida and owned by partners John StDenis and Martin Currie. The Highgrounds of our childhood are where we got the name, achieving the high ground in life can be seen as an advantage.

Highground Boatworks is a boatbuilding company in which every process is guided by our passion for fine workmanship and our love for the Sea fairing craft. We are a company that works squarely in the enduring traditions of the world’s best boat builders, innovates with modern technique and uses the finest materials available to produce a beautiful boat—one at a time. We will build your boat with you, not just for you.

Vacuum Infused Composite Hulls and our Cold Molded mahogany planked Hull are only the beginning of Highground Boatworks commitment to the finest in marine craftsmanship. We have spent many years and countless hours at our company in Stuart Florida, researching and manufacturing vessels and parts of varying sizes. At Highground Boatworks we are lucky enough to work alongside some of the best Builders, Riggers, Designers and Architects in the industry today and we truly believe that all aspects of our 32cc will reflect our years of determination and dedication to the boat building industry and our craft.

From hand-lofted boats on a plywood floor to 3D computer modeled hulls with CNC cut parts, we have seen firsthand the developments in boatbuilding and what they can deliver in terms of our structural integrity, weight distribution and product consistency.

Each of HighGround’s vessels is built to John and Martin’s exacting standards, honed over their decades of working side-by-side with some of the finest in the industry. In the HighGround 32 CC, they have created a boat whose style is unforgettable, its quality, is unmatched, and the ride, unrivaled.

Highground Boatworks 32 cc Composite/Kevlar

Our 32 CC is constructed using a vacuum infused resin process that provides us with consistent weight, strength and structural integrity into every part of the boat. We take every step possible to ensure the lamination schedule and structural integrity of each one of our boats meets and exceeds the latest marine standards and requirements. Below the waterline we laminate Kevlar into our hull skin to ensure impact resistance and provide you with the comfort and peace of mind to handle the unexpected.

“Highground Boatworks, high standard of workmanship and attention to detail along with their extensive experience in the construction of sportfishing boats has been a joy to work with and I believe is a great basis for a boatbuilding company of their own. I’m confident they will continue to build their excellent reputation and achieve great success. “

– larry belkov, belkov yacht company.

Fuel: 300 gallons Water: 30 gallon fresh water Length Over All: 32’ Beam Over All: 9’ 11” Draft:  20″ Displacement: 8200 lbs. with twin Suzuki 350’s standard

The Craft of Cold-Molded Hulls

The strength and integrity of the HighGround Boatworks 32 Cold Molded Center Console, springs from its core: the hand-built hull, constructed in the classic cold-molded process with pure mahogany planking, fitted and laminated by hand. That triple-planked mahogany hull has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio providing a core that is impact absorbing, smooth riding, and takes shock loads more efficiently than a traditional foam-cored composite hull.

The cold-molded process begins with every new boat built, new jig up on the shop floor and precise attention to detail at every step. It’s the preferred method of the finest custom boatbuilders. HighGround Boatworks builds each of its vessels with the highest standards of craftsmanship and construction. They know that’s exactly what their clients expect and deserve and that’s what they deliver. That is The HighGround Boatworks pledge.

Classic Style, High Performance

Whether you’ll be fishing hard on a HighGround 32’—in the Bahamas or out to the Northeast Canyons—or cruising your local waterways with family and friends, your Highground will carry you to your destination in comfort and distinctive style.

With sportfishing in its DNA, The Highground 32’ presents striking lines, hybrid bow flare, smooth broken shear transitions, and a tumblehome hull with intermediate side rails. It’s an elegant vessel that means business on blue water.

What Our Clients Say

My point of contact was Jose Noy. He was an excellent salesman and good with paperwork. He referred me to reputable contractors such as insurance providers, loan originators, I had my trailer built to suit my needs and he arranged with the Marina for service records and transportation. I feel he went above and beyond and it should reflect upon the company he works for.

Florida Yachts International is not only the most reliable and helpful company at selling yachts, but also Florida Yachts provided the best weekend experience I’ve ever had in Miami (and I grew up in Miami). I booked one of their charters for Saturday on the water with a group of my closest friends and the experience was magical. The boat was huge, super well organized, and the crew went above and beyond. FYI made the experience easy to organize and memorable. See attached for a couple pics from the awesome trip. I can’t say enough good things.

Florida Yachts made purchasing a boat an enjoyable experience. Hiram Concepcion was extremely attentive, took calls during and after the purchase and the staff made the paper work process flow smoothly. I especially liked the electronic document signature process so traversing Miami-Dade traffic was not required. The best part is long after the sale, Hiram has turned out to be a good friend that is always available to provide advice and recommendations for boat servicing. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Probably the best experience I had with the broker ever. I was purchasing a vessel located in south Florida from New Jersey. Arney and Michelle guided me through the whole transaction over the phone and email and were super helpful in not just arranging all pre prepurchase paperwork and survey, but also helping with addressing the issues that came up after the transaction was completed. Highly responsive and honest people.

FYI continues to have a such dedicate team! I Have purchased two boats through them. They handle finding you a boat all the way to closing and everything in between. Captian Hiram Concepcion even took me on the boat several times after closing to get me comfortable with my cruiser for the family. Highly recommended !

This is the best place to go for a yacht! Hands down, the most grious pros in the business. If you want to be happy about your purchase, bring your business to Florida Yachts International!!! You will be glad you did.

The guys at FYI are great! I specifically like working with Nick A. A few years back I was referred to Nick by a mutual friend and all of my interactions with him since then have been A+

List of Florida Boat Builders

What boats are made in florida – fl boat brands.

Boats built in Florida have a long and rich history. In the early 20th century, Florida was known for its skilled boat builders who had the know-how to create some of the most beautiful vessels ever seen on the water. The state’s shallow-water coastal areas provided an ideal setting for wooden boat craftsmanship and many of these boats were used as fishing vessels, yachts, and private pleasure craft. Today, Florida is still an epicenter for boat building and innovation. The state is home to several well-known boat builders, including Bayliner and Sea Ray. These companies produce a wide variety of vessels ranging from aluminum fishing boats to luxurious yachts. Bayliner is one of the most popular boat manufacturers in Florida!

In addition to size, boat builders can also customize a boat’s design to meet the customer’s specifications .

See Mark Zuckerberg’s glossy new $300M, 287-foot superyacht ‘Launchpad’

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

DeSantis details alarming find aboard Haitian migrant boat seized off Florida coast

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Friday that state law enforcement had intercepted a vessel coming to the Florida coast carrying dozens of Haitian migrants, as well as firearms, drugs and night vision gear.

"Our Florida Fish and Wildlife offices interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potential illegal immigrants from Haiti in their boat. In their vessel they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks," DeSantis said, adding that the interdiction had occurred "recently" in the last few weeks.

"That vessel was interdicted near the Sebastian Inlet and those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation," he said.

DESANTIS SENDS SOLDIERS, AIRCRAFT TO ‘PROTECT’ FLORIDA FROM ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BOATS AMID HAITI UNREST

DeSantis made the announcement at a press conference in which he also signed three pieces of legislation to deter illegal immigration into the Sunshine State.

The Republican governor had earlier this week announced an increase of personnel and aircraft to the Florida coast in light of unrest in Haiti and the potential for an increase in migration via the sea from the conflict-hit country.

READ ON THE FOX NEWS APP

The Caribbean nation has seen a significant escalation in violence as gangs have overrun the capital, burning police stations and attacking the main airport. Gangs have also raided some of the largest prisons, releasing thousands of inmates. 

DHS WARNS HAITIAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRIVING BY BOAT FACE ‘IMMEDIATE REPATRIATION’ 

The deployment in Florida includes 48 additional National Guardsmen with four additional helicopters, 39 officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, 30 additional Florida Highway Patrol officers with aircraft and drones, and 23 additional officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission with eight additional seacraft, according to DeSantis' office.

He stressed on Friday that this had been going on for a while, and this was an increase in enforcement and not a new operation. He said that from Jan 2023 last week, officials had assisted the Coast Guard with the interdiction of 670 vessels carrying over 13,500 illegal immigrants.

"The message is the last thing you should want to do is get on a boat and think you're going to come through from any of these islands to get to the state of Florida," DeSantis said. "The most likely scenario is you'll be stopped, and you will be returned to your country of origin."

HAITIAN PRIME MINISTER ARIEL HENRY TO RESIGN AMID LOW-SCALE CIVIL WAR, BOWING TO INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE 

"It's a hazardous journey, it’s not worth doing, and we have the resources to continue to keep the people of Florida safe."

On Tuesday, Rebecca Zimmerman, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs, told lawmakers that the Pentagon is "alert" to the possibility of a mass migration event, but it has also not yet seen large numbers.

"I think you’re right that the driving conditions in Haiti could very well press more people," she told Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. "We recently approved some additional assistance we could provide to the Coast Guard."

The Department of Homeland Security has also said it is monitoring the situation, but has stressed that migration flows in the Caribbean remain "low." It also warned that those crossing face being turned back to their country of origin.

"U.S. policy is to return noncitizens who do not have a fear of persecution or torture or a legal basis to enter the United States. Those interdicted at sea are subject to immediate repatriation pursuant to our longstanding policy and procedures. The United States returns or repatriates migrants interdicted at sea to The Bahamas, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti," a spokesperson said.

On Friday, DeSantis also signed three pieces of legislation related to immigration. One increased the maximum sentence for people driving without a license. Another enhances penalties for crimes committed by illegal immigrants who return to the country after deportation, while the third bill states that no jurisdiction can recognize IDs that are distributed by other states to illegal immigrants.
