Codecasa is a family shipyard in Viareggio, on the Tuscan coast of Italy, founded by Giovanni Battista Codecasa in 1825 and still run by the Codecasa family. It builds custom yachts in steel and aluminium, or all aluminium, from about 30 to 90 metres. We list 3 Codecasa yachts whose listings name Croatia as a cruising area, and two of them are over 60 metres long.
This page counts all 3 down, from #3, the smallest, up to #1, the biggest, ranked by the length on each yacht’s listing. Lengths, guest counts and rates are as shown on each yacht’s listing on 29 September 2026. Each rate range is the listing’s published lower and upper weekly charter fee, before running expenses and VAT. All three listings still show their 2026 rates, the last published, so ask us for 2027 rates before you budget.
What Makes a Codecasa
Codecasa’s yard sits in one of the oldest docks in the port of Viareggio, and the company describes its work as custom building, shaping each yacht around its owner. It also refits motor and sailing yachts.
The three Codecasas below were built in 1990, 1994 and 2010, and all three were refitted between 2021 and 2023. JOIA and ISABELL list the same cruising areas, from Italy, France and Spain to Greece and Croatia; XANA lists Greece, Turkey and Croatia. JOIA’s home port is France and XANA’s is Athens, and ISABELL’s listing gives no base port. Ask us to confirm routing and any repositioning terms for your dates.
XANA and ISABELL are the easiest pair to compare: both take 12 guests in 6 cabins, including two doubles and two twins, and both list two Pullman berths. ISABELL is about 18 metres longer and lists from roughly twice XANA’s rate, while JOIA adds an elevator and wheelchair access.
3. XANA
“Rebuilt from the Inside in 2021”
XANA is a 147 foot (45 m) Codecasa built in 1994 and refitted in 2021, based in Athens and cruising Greece, Turkey and Croatia. She takes 12 guests in 6 cabins, with a crew of 9, and has stabilizers at anchor and underway, a jacuzzi and a gym. She cruises at 15 knots, with a top speed of 18.
Her toys include a three-seat Sea-Doo jet ski, 2 Seabob F5S, water skis for adults and children, wakeboards, canoe-kayaks and a floating platform. Rates run from €150,000 to €178,000 per week. In our walkthrough video on her listing, the 2021 work is described like this: “She was refit in 2021, but not just refit, completely rebuilt. They gutted the entire inside of the boat, so she’s completely new, completely redesigned.”
2. ISABELL
“63 Metres, Six Suites and Three eFoils”
ISABELL is a 207 foot (63 m) Codecasa built in 1990 and refitted in 2023. She takes 12 guests in 6 suites: a full master suite with a walk-in dressing room, an office and his and hers bathrooms, a VIP on the bridge deck, two doubles and two twins with a Pullman each.
She cruises at 14 knots, with a top speed of 18. There is a deck jacuzzi, a gym and a Crestron audio-visual system installed in 2023, and her toys are 2 stand-up jet skis and 3 eFoils. Rates run from €290,000 to €320,000 per week.
1. JOIA
“65 Metres, an Elevator and a Cinema”
JOIA, listed as JOIA The Crown Jewel, is a 214 foot (65.2 m) Codecasa built in 2010 and refitted in 2023, the biggest Codecasa we list. Her home port is France. Her spec sheet gives 12 guests in 9 cabins, and we confirm the guest number when you book.
An elevator connects the interior decks, and her listing describes her as wheelchair accessible. She has a beach club, a deck jacuzzi, a cinema that converts to a massage room, a gym and a karaoke setup. Her toys run to 3 jet skis, 2 Seabobs, 2 eFoils and a waterslide, with a 12.8 metre center console and a Castoldi jet tender. She cruises at 12 knots. Rates run from $420,000 to $500,000 per week; she is the one boat on this page priced in US dollars.
What a Codecasa Charter in Croatia Costs
The rates above are charter fees only. On top come the APA, an advance for fuel, food and marina fees that is settled against what is actually spent, and VAT. XANA’s rate notes put her APA at 35 percent of the fee; the ISABELL and JOIA listings state no APA terms of their own, so ask us. VAT depends on the route and cruising area. Our Croatia vs Greece guide explains that charters in Croatia carry a flat 13 percent on the charter fee, while XANA’s listing notes state VAT at 5.2 percent, so ask us for the figure for your dates. The Codecasa rate list shows current rates.
Planning a Codecasa Week in Croatia
Most Croatian weeks board around Split, Trogir or Marina Kaštela, a 15 to 35 minute drive from Split airport. A week from the Split area reaches Hvar, Vis and Korčula, and the south, with Mljet and the Elafiti Islands, is close to Dubrovnik. Our guide on how to get to your Croatia yacht charter has the transfer times from the airports.
We confirm the high-season dates for your week before quoting. Tell us your dates and how many guests, and we will check which of these Codecasas is free and send you the brochures.
