Codecasa has been building yachts on the Tuscan coast for more than a century, and GIOIA carries that long tradition into the present. Delivered in 2024, this 43 metre displacement motor yacht is a modern, confident example of the yard’s craftsmanship, with five cabins for twelve guests and a crew of nine to look after them.
Her exterior is generous and considered, with deck spaces that each serve a clear purpose. A sun deck sits high above the water with relaxed seating and shade, the aft decks open to the sea for dining and lounging, and a jacuzzi forward offers a quiet spot to watch the light change over the anchorage. The volume of a true 43 metre yacht means guests are never short of space, whether the week is social and busy or slow and private. Teak underfoot, deep settees and generous sunpads invite long hours outdoors, and the transom folds down to a bathing platform that brings the water within easy reach of the aft deck.
Inside, the mood is warm and contemporary. The main salon is arranged around comfortable seating with wide windows that bring the Caribbean light indoors, and a separate formal dining area seats the full party for long, unhurried meals. The finish is precise and tactile, the kind of quality that comes from a yard that still treats interiors as craft rather than assembly. Natural materials and soft tones give the spaces a calm, residential feel. Lighting has been layered with care, so the salon shifts easily from bright and open by day to soft and intimate after dark.
Accommodation is arranged across a full beam master and four further cabins, a mix of doubles and a twin that suits families and groups of friends alike. Each room is finished to the same high standard, with natural light, considered storage and private bathrooms. The layout keeps guests comfortable on longer stays, and the crew quarters are separate so service remains discreet throughout the week.
GIOIA is built for the Caribbean and the kind of itinerary the Windward Islands reward. Her displacement hull holds a steady, quiet course between anchorages at a relaxed cruising speed, and her range opens up the longer passages that smaller yachts tend to avoid. A crew of nine handles everything from water sports and dining to the detail of a well run day, so guests can simply enjoy the islands at their own pace. Stabilisers keep her steady both at anchor and underway, which counts for a great deal on the longer Caribbean hops between island groups.
This is a yacht for a charter party that values craftsmanship and space in equal measure. The toys and tenders open up the reefs and beaches beyond the anchorage, the sun deck and jacuzzi become the natural gathering points, and the interior offers a cool, elegant retreat at the end of each day. New, beautifully built and generously proportioned, GIOIA is a confident modern Codecasa ready for a long season in the sun, and a rare chance to charter a brand new Italian yacht in the Caribbean.
