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. Rates are as shown on each listing in October 2026, before APA and any applicable taxes, and they change, so ask us for your dates.
Weekly charter fees for the Codecasa yachts on this page run from about €150,000 per week (XANA) to €320,000 per week (ISABELL) for the two yachts priced in euros. JOIA, the third, is priced in US dollars and lists higher, from $420,000 to $500,000 per week. All are before APA and any applicable taxes; ask us for your dates.

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 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 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.

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.”

A Sample Week on XANA
XANA’s listing names Croatia among her cruising areas (with Greece and Turkey), so she is our example. She is based in Athens, and the week below illustrates the route and is not an offer. Here is a seven-day week taken from our own Trogir round-trip itinerary page. It is a suggested route only: the boarding port, the passage plan and your dates are agreed with the broker and captain, and your captain adjusts the order to conditions. XANA is listed for 12 guests in 6 cabins.
- Day 1, Trogir to Milna on Brač. A sheltered natural harbour on the island’s west coast, and an evening walk through the village.
- Day 2, Milna to Hvar. Hvar Town’s fortress and main square, or a quieter anchorage in the Pakleni Islands.
- Day 3, Hvar to Korčula. A swim stop at Ščedro, then Korčula Town, nicknamed the small Dubrovnik.
- Day 4, Korčula to Lastovo. A swim at Badija, then about 20 nautical miles on to the bay of Zaklopatica, with almost no light pollution for stargazing.
- Day 5, Lastovo to Vis. Komiža or Vis Town, and the Cold War-era catacombs and bunkers on a guided tour.
- Day 6, Vis to Šolta. An anchorage in Šešula Bay and dinner at Maslinica.
- Day 7, Šolta to Trogir. A 7 nautical mile hop back, and Trogir’s UNESCO old town before hand-back.
What a Codecasa Charter in Croatia Costs
The rates above are charter fees only, before APA and any applicable taxes. The APA is the advance provisioning allowance, a deposit added to the charter price to cover fuel, food and marina fees; the remainder is returned after the charter. Each listing’s rate table shows an APA of 35 percent of the weekly rate; ask us to confirm the APA and any taxes for your dates. The Codecasa rate list shows the listed rates, and our Croatia vs Greece guide helps if you are weighing the two.
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.
Tell us your dates and how many guests, and we will check which of these Codecasas is free and send you the brochures.
