On Monday 23 February at 10.30, at the Cantieri Navali Ugo Codecasa shipyard in Viareggio, the new CODECASA 57– Hull F81– LEGACY 4 was launched in a strictly private ceremony.

LEGACY 4 is a 57-metre Yacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, a combination that guarantees structural strength, safety and weight optimisation designed to offer stability and comfort even on the most demanding passages.

Propulsion is provided by two Caterpillar 3512E engines, each of 1771 kW (2375 hp) at 1800 rpm, capable of driving the vessel to a maximum speed of 17 knots at light displacement. Her range reaches 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots: a figure that opens the way to transoceanic cruising in complete safety and reliability.

The Lloyd’s Register EMEA – ✠ 100 A1, SSC “YACHT” MONO G6 – ✠ LMC + UMS -“Red Ensign Group Yacht Code – Part. A” Full Compliance certification bears witness to the rigorous attention paid to the highest technical and quality standards in the industry.

The yacht is the result of the long-standing collaboration between Codecasa Shipyards and Architect Tommaso Spadolini. The large, welcoming interior and exterior spaces were designed to offer a harmonious balance between privacy and conviviality. A lift connects all the decks, ensuring practicality and full accessibility on board.

The sleeping area comprises an Owner’s Suite and five Guest cabins, plus the Captain’s cabin and six double cabins for the crew; a layout designed throughout to ensure efficient and discreet service.

The launch of m.y. LEGACY 4 is the result of intense teamwork, born of the expertise, passion and dedication of the entire Codecasa Shipyards team. To each member – from design to construction and final fitting-out – goes our heartfelt thanks for their commitment and professionalism.

Special thanks go to all the companies involved in the work, whose experience and collaboration made a decisive contribution to the creation of this vessel.

We would also like to express our gratitude to the Owner’s Company, its consultants Yanova and Fraser Yachts, and Architect Tommaso Spadolini, who accompanied every stage of this journey with expertise and dedication.

But above all, we extend our warmest wishes to the Owner: may this Yacht bring pleasant and unforgettable voyages, and moments of serenity, discovery and satisfaction.

Codecasa Shipyards are pleased to announce the transfer of the new CODECASA 58 – Hull C128 (58 m) from the Production Site in the Darsena dei Navicelli in Pisa to the Viareggio Shipyard.

Developed by the PLANA studio of Pierluigi Ausonio, in collaboration with the Technical Department of Codecasa Shipyards, the naval platform of Hull C128 combines advanced naval architecture with refined aesthetics.

The Interior Design, conceived in close collaboration between the technical team of Codecasa Shipyards and the Milan-based design studio M2 Atelier, reflects a perfect balance of elegance, functionality and comfort.

The fitting-out and finishing phases of the Yacht will now begin at the Viareggio site, with delivery scheduled for 2027. The Ocean Independence Team, which handled the sale of Hull C128, is now assisting the Owner’s Company in supervising the construction and fitting-out of the Yacht.

This milestone represents a further step in the journey of excellence that has always distinguished the production of Codecasa Shipyards, reaffirming the Company’s commitment to achieving the highest standards of quality, innovation and craftsmanship.

In the heart of the Darsena today, 30 May 2025, we celebrate 200 years of history of Codecasa Shipyards, an excellence of Italian yachting. Roberta Patalani of Lucifero Design presents “The Codecasa Journey” at the Viareggio Yacht Center, a permanent installation designed to remember and celebrate the history and tradition of a shipyard deeply linked to the city of Viareggio.

Through a visual narrative, the exhibition retraces the evolution of the Shipyard from its origins, back in 1825, to the present day. A journey between past and present that pays tribute to two centuries of commitment, passion and dedication that have always distinguished Codecasa.

“For me and my studio it is a real pleasure and an honour to be able to tell the story of Codecasa Shipyards, which began 200 years ago; we thank the Codecasa family and Patron Fulvio for choosing us to tell this story.” Comments Roberta Patalani of Lucifero Design, a Design and Set Design studio responsible for the concept and creation of “The Journey”, which occupies the ground floor of the Viareggio Yachting Center overlooking the beautiful, renovated Piazza Viani.

“The work tells of waves and water, of skies and boats. The display cases punctuate the narrative like frames of a film, while the shaped elements amplify its rhythm and depth” – explains Roberta Patalani – “We graphically reworked and reinterpreted the historical photographs made available by the Codecasa archive, enriching them with iconic and symbolic elements: animals, landscapes, visual suggestions. So, just as the ancient columns symbolise the strength and longevity of the shipyard, the great whales (whose skeletons evoke the planking of boats, taking us back to Viareggio’s tradition of master shipwrights) become a symbol of sacredness and good fortune.”

This installation is a tribute to the mastery and ingenuity of those who, for two centuries, have continued to give the city of Viareggio works of art destined to be eternal.

This year Codecasa wins the Heritage Award: Brand Heritage literally means “the inheritance of a brand”, and therefore refers to the history, legacy and reputation of a brand over time. It is the sum of the values, traditions, experiences and successes that a brand has accumulated throughout its existence. With its 200 years, Codecasa has spanned two centuries building some of the yachts that have made Italian yachting history.

On 22 May 2025, the ceremony was held to return the SAR Patrol Boat CP 870 to her crew, after a long modernisation programme.

The Refit programme for the SAR Class CP 800 patrol boats, commissioned from us by the General Command of the Italian Coast Guard, aims to give further years of life to a project born in 1993 with the construction of 27 units – SAR Class CP 800 Valentin series patrol boats, dedicated to saving lives at sea.

The working relationship built over these years with the Italian Coast Guard and its crews is truly very important to us. Seeing on TV, or in the newspapers, what they are capable of doing at sea fills us with great emotion and a strong sense of pride.

We thank the General Command for the trust placed in us, and we are confident that we have met their expectations.

Thanks to the craftsmen who worked with us on this project. Thanks to the work and commitment of all the patrol boat crews. Thanks to our city, Viareggio, and thanks to Codecasa Shipyards and our 200 years of history.
