Some yachts chase the latest silhouette. APOGEE was built to outlast it. Codecasa delivered this 62.5 metre motor yacht in 2003 and a 2023 refit kept her current, but her appeal has always rested on substance: a steel hull, 1,126 gross tonnes of volume, and the interior space to host twelve guests and seventeen crew without either noticing the other.
Her range tells the story. APOGEE carries fuel for 7,000 nautical miles, enough to cross oceans rather than coast between marinas, and her displacement hull holds a steady 11.5 knot cruise with a 16 knot maximum in reserve. Zero speed stabilisers settle her at anchor, and an elevator links every deck, a rare convenience at this size that makes the whole yacht accessible to every guest.
The interior is classic Codecasa: warm timber panelling, deep seating and a sense of proportion that only a large hull allows. The main saloon is arranged for conversation rather than show, with a separate formal dining room for the full party and a backlit bar that gives the evenings their own room. A private study offers a quiet corner away from the social spaces, panelled in the same rich wood that runs throughout.
Accommodation spans six cabins for twelve guests. The master suite is generous enough for a proper sitting area alongside the bed, and the guest cabins carry the same considered joinery and their own marble bathrooms. With four doubles and two twins, the layout absorbs families and mixed groups with ease, and the seventeen crew ensure the service never thins out across a long charter.
Outdoors, APOGEE spreads across several decks. A covered sundeck carries loungers and a shaded seating area, while a separate deck sets out formal dining under the open sky. There is room to gather the whole party in one place or to find a private corner, a luxury that comes only with genuine volume.
The yacht is built for water as much as for cruising. Four WaveRunners and a covered limousine tender extend her reach at anchor, ferrying guests ashore in comfort or heading out across the bay for the day. A gym on the sundeck keeps a routine intact even mid ocean.
APOGEE is classed by Lloyd’s Register and flies the Cayman Islands flag, and her steel construction and transoceanic range make her a true go anywhere superyacht rather than a summer coastal cruiser. She spends her seasons between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and Bahamas, following the sun across the Atlantic each year.
For a charter group that values space, stability and the reassurance of a large professional crew, APOGEE offers something the newer, faster boats cannot: the calm of a substantial displacement yacht that has been doing this well for two decades. She is a yacht to settle into, made for long itineraries, big groups and the kind of comfort that does not need to announce itself.
Timeless rather than trend led, she rewards guests who want their week measured in destinations reached and evenings well spent. With seventeen professional crew and the volume to match, she carries a large party in genuine comfort right across a long season afloat.
