LA MAR

La Mar — 78ft Lazzara, Whitsunday Islands Twenty-four metres of Lazzara sports yacht, La Mar has become a familiar silhouette in the Whitsundays — the kind of yacht guests book once and then keep coming back to, season after season. The appeal is easy to understand. A sports yacht of this size covers ground quickly, which in an archipelago as spread out as the Whitsundays matters more than it might elsewhere: fringing reefs in the morning, a quiet anchorage off Whitehaven by the afternoon, without the day disappearing into the transit. The lines are low and clean, the finishes generous, and the layout built around the water rather than sealed off from it. Below, three cabins accommodate six guests. The owner's cabin anchors the accommodation, with two further cabins fitted with twin beds. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Queensland's cruising grounds reward local knowledge — the tides, the light, the anchorages that empty out after four o'clock. La Mar operates with a professional crew who know these islands well and shape each itinerary accordingly, whether that means a full week among the outer reefs or a few days between Hamilton and Hayman. A well-proven yacht in a cruising ground that never quite loses its pull.
