Codecasa Yachts: Sale, Purchase and New Builds

About Codecasa

Shipwright Giovanni Battista Codecasa founded the yard in 1825, and it celebrated two centuries of activity in 2025. It is still run by the Codecasa family, with several generations involved in management. That continuity is unusual among Italian superyacht builders and shapes how the yard works: owners deal directly with the family throughout a build.

Codecasa builds custom motor yachts in steel and light alloy, generally from about 30 to 70 meters. Since the early 2000s it has also built fast yachts entirely in aluminum. Its operations are centered on Viareggio, where it has several yards, with some production in the Pisa area.

The Codecasa style is recognizable and deliberate. The family prefers evolution to reinvention, and many of its yachts share a classic, elegant profile with robust construction. That consistency has helped the fleet age well, and older Codecasa yachts are often found still cruising after several decades and careful refits.

Buying a Codecasa yacht

Codecasa yachts have a reputation for sturdy construction, and many older examples remain in active service. That makes the refit record central to any purchase. A buyer should look closely at the history of engine work, electrical upgrades, paint and interior renewal, as well as the condition of the steel hull and the joint with the aluminum superstructure.

Larger Codecasas are typically built to class and operated with full crews, and they cruise widely in the Mediterranean, with some based in Florida and the Caribbean. Class status, flag and management arrangements should be reviewed early. Daniel's guide to buying a yacht walks through survey, sea trial and closing.

How to buy a yacht

Selling a Codecasa yacht

The Codecasa name carries real weight with experienced owners, who value its build quality and restrained style. Daniel positions each yacht on that basis, supporting the asking figure with sold comparables of similar Italian custom yachts and the evidence of a well-documented refit history. A private valuation is the natural first step.

Because Codecasa owners often prize discretion, many sales begin quietly among trusted brokers before any public listing. When wider exposure helps, Daniel coordinates with cooperating brokers worldwide and uses shows such as Monaco and Fort Lauderdale. Owners in the United States can learn more about his Miami work.

Commissioning a Codecasa means working directly with the family, and many owners value that closeness. Daniel can help a client prepare the brief, select designers and an owner's representative, and coordinate with the yard through specification, contract and construction, making sure the owner's intentions stay at the center of each decision.

Why work with Daniel Grant

A family yard deserves an adviser who works in the same personal way. Daniel handles each client himself, travels between Miami, New York and Europe, and is backed by Reel Deal Yachts' brokerage infrastructure for market data and transaction support. He is independent of Codecasa, and every conversation is treated with discretion.

Many Codecasa owners keep their yachts for years, and a sale is often a considered, once-in-a-decade decision. Daniel gives that decision the time it deserves, from the first valuation conversation to the final handover of crew and documents.
