LARA

Peri Yachts launched LARA in 2010 with a singular focus on social connection, evident in how Dixon Yacht Design and Scaro Design arranged her spaces to draw guests together naturally. At just under 29 meters, she creates an intimacy that larger vessels often sacrifice, yet her 6.4-meter beam provides surprising breadth in her primary living areas. The heart of life aboard unfolds in her main salon, where Scaro Design positioned seating to encourage conversation while maintaining clear sightlines to the surrounding water. Guests migrate easily between interior and exterior spaces, with the main deck flowing outward to dining and lounging areas that capture different moods throughout the day. Forward sections offer quieter retreats for reading or contemplation, while her aft deck becomes the natural gathering point for evening cocktails and meals. Her configuration for eight guests creates an ideal dynamic where everyone feels included without the dilution that comes with larger parties. The crew of four maintains this atmosphere with attentive but unobtrusive service, anticipating needs while allowing conversations to develop organically. Morning coffee might begin on the foredeck with two guests, gradually drawing others as the day gains momentum. LARA's 96-ton displacement speaks to her substantial feel underway, providing the stability that allows life aboard to continue uninterrupted whether at anchor or underway. Her proportions create spaces that feel generous without being cavernous, fostering the kind of relaxed interaction that defines memorable time on the water. This is yachting scaled to human connection rather than grand gesture.
