For owners looking to move into the crewed-yacht experience, Yachts360 has Hope Floats, a Lazzara 116 Open Bridge, listed for $3.795 million. The 2007 build has a variety of entertainment spaces and a rare five-stateroom layout that can sleep up to 12 guests.
Inside, the superyacht’s rich high-gloss cherry warms the salon, while windows running the length of the salon enhance the sense of volume, creating unobstructed ocean vistas. The salon has a conventional layout with the lounge area aft and formal dining forward. The low-top bar to port with three chairs will definitely be a gathering spot after hours. The galley is located forward.

Hope Float’s sense of luxury carries through to the lower-deck accommodations, from the owners’ stateroom to the converted fifth stateroom. The full-beam owners’ stateroom is amidships. Two queen-berth staterooms are forward of the owners’ space. There is a forepeak VIP with a centerline berth. The final stateroom has side-by-side berths and Pullman bunks.
Entertainment spaces continue outside with the cockpit’s three-stool L-shaped bar when it’s time for sundowners. As dinner time approaches, guests can move to the transom bench seat and the high-gloss cherry dining table. Pull up a few chairs to seat up to eight guests for an alfresco dinner.
Guests will notice that side decks on the Lazzara 116s do not run from the cockpit to the foredeck, instead the salon benefits from all 23-feet-1-inch of beam and side decks start forward of amidships. They are accessible via port and starboard doors. The foredeck has a three-person lounge pad, making it a great spot to catch some sun after a morning swim.
When it’s time to take the party upstairs, the after section of the flybridge has a five-person bench seat, two fixed tables and enough space to add loose chairs. Forward, a whirlpool spa sits on the centerline flanked by two facing C-shaped dinettes adjacent. A bar with four stools is forward and to port with a U-shaped dinette forward and to starboard, all abaft the helm station on centerline.
Twin 2,000 hp MTU 16V 2000 diesels power Hope Floats, giving the superyacht a reported 27-knot top hop and a cruising speed of 24 knots. Yachting previously reported on the engineering behind the 116-footer’s 5-foot, 6-inch shoal draft.
“The yacht is as modern under the water as above. To keep her draft at a [relatively] shallow depth (5-feet, 6-inches), her custom machined five-blade props turn in shallow tunnels. To assure minimal vibration and maximum efficiency, Lazzara worked with Rolla, a well-respected Swiss propeller manufacturer, on the design of the props and tunnels.”

- Onan 55kw Generator (Port) 4,200 hours
- Onan 55kw Generator (Stbd.) 1 500 hours
