Cool Codecasas: five superyachts for sale from a pedigree builder

The story of Codecasa goes back to 1825 when Giovanni Battista Codecasa established the yard in Viareggio as a builder of wooden sailing yachts.

Since then, and under several generations of the same family, the yard has undergone an evolution, developing into today’s group, which comprises three yards: Codecasa Ugo, Codecasa Due and Codecasa Tre.

The Codecasa Ugo and Tre yards extend over an area of more than 7,000 square metres, 6,000 of which are under permanent cover. These shipyards build steel/aluminium or all-aluminium vessels ranging from 30 to 90 metres. Codecasa Due is 6,500 square metres, 3,500 of which are under permanent cover and has the facilities for repair and refitting of motor and sailing yachts, as well as the construction of steel/aluminium or aluminium yachts up to 35 metres.

In 1970 the yard moved decisively into the superyacht world with the launch of the 24.5m motor yacht Gram and has since delivered a steady stream of iconic yachts including the 62m Moneikos and 65m Jonikal.

Today, with a thoroughly experienced workforce and employing the latest technologies, Codecasa continues to break new ground with the recent announcement that it is currently building its first 50m Open superyacht.

Here we present five of the fine yachts from this pedigree yard which are currently listed for sale.
