One of the phrases that pops up regularly in conversation with the Lazzaras is “water-accessible.” What is meant by that is the 76 is intended to allow owners and guests to be close to the water, which is, after all, why people buy boats. The 76 introduced the Sport Deck transom, which included twin garages for water toys and diving gear.

The Grand Salon adds about 20 percent to the salon area at the expense of the side decks, which end just aft of the lower helm, which still has doors on both sides to the foredeck. The salon layout remains essentially the same in either version, with a U-shaped couch to port, a built-in sofa opposite, and a bar area facing the large windows to starboard. The dining area is at the forward end of the salon with seating for six and separated from the galley by a built-in buffet and bookshelf.

The master suite and two VIP staterooms have a private circular stairway from the salon that leads to a large foyer that conceals the washer/dryer and vacuum storage. The master suite spans the full beam, with a California king bed aft, a sofa and bureau to port, and a vanity and armoire to starboard, while a huge walk-in closet has enough hanging space for liveaboards as well as built-in shelving. The master head is oversized, featuring twin Corian sinks and a Jacuzzi tub with double shower heads.

Forward, two mirrored VIP staterooms have queen beds and en suite heads with showers. Two more staterooms are in the bow, reached via stairs from the lower helm, and can be used for additional guests or crew. The starboard cabin has bunk beds and a private head with compact stall shower, while the forward stateroom, which is likely to be claimed by the skipper, has a double bunk and a more spacious head with stall shower. To port of the stairs is an area that can be fitted as a study or office with computer, desk, and settee with storage.

The aft deck is furnished with a settee and table to starboard suitable for open-air dining, a more intimate loveseat to port with a cocktail table and a wet bar forward with dual ice makers.
