History

The S/Y FraZaz had three owners in total. The first owner bought the boat in 1996 and sailed her until 2009. 
 
The second owner had the boat between 2009-2023. The boat had a major refit in 2009/2010 and was maintained meticulously and upgraded over time appropriately.

The third owner and the current owners bought the boat in 2023 and have enjoyed three summers exploring Portugal, the Balearics, Sardinia and the Spanish coastline in between. S/Y FraZaz has proven to be an exceptionally comfortable and capable cruising yacht plus a cozy liveaboard whilst wintering in Lagos each year.
