http://*****************/2015/01/lazzara-yachts-under-new-ownership/ January 9, 2015 Lazzara Yachts was purchased by the Avanti Ocean Group, which consists of private investor Geoff Bond and third-generation family members Joe Lazzara and Steve Lazzara. The new company will do business as Lazzara Custom Yachts and Tampa Marine Services, company president Joe Lazzara said. It looks like they are moving towards a service company as opposed to being strictly a manufacturer.
