MORTLOCK YACHTS & LAZZARA: A COLLABORATION BUILT ON EXPERIENCE
Director of Mortlock Yachts, Tristan Mortlock, has a long-standing relationship with Lazzara Yachts spanning over 20 years, having
worked extensively with the brand in various capacities. From captaining Lazzara yachts (2008–2016) to formal training at the Lazzara
Yacht University (2005 & 2008), Tristan has gained an in-depth knowledge of the brand. He has also featured impressive Lazzara tours and in-depth insights on his YouTube channel, Super Yacht Captain, including “I’ve Never Seen a Yacht Like It” (video link), “This Yacht Builder Has Blown My Mind | Must See” (video link) and “Building SuperYachts | Documentary” (video link).
