INVADER is a fifty metre Codecasa, a steel displacement superyacht delivered in 2000 and brought up to date in a 2019 refit. She carries twelve guests across five cabins with a crew of twelve, and her appeal is the quiet authority of a proper Italian superyacht: the volume, the separate formal rooms and the sea keeping manners of a full displacement hull, from a yard with one of the longest and most respected records in the business.
Her point of difference is that she is a true superyacht rather than a large motor yacht, and she uses her length the way the best of them do. Where a smaller yacht runs everything through one open space, INVADER gives her guests a separate main salon, a formal dining room and an upper skylounge, so a party of twelve can gather together or spread out in comfort. The maple interior is timeless rather than fashionable, beautifully kept, and a 2019 refit has kept her fresh without stripping away the warmth of her character.
Life in the open air is arranged over several levels, as it should be at this size. The sundeck is the social heart, a long run of teak with a jacuzzi, generous sunbathing and a shaded bar, a clear outlook over the water and the natural place for the day to gather. Below it the shaded aft decks set out dining and lounging a step from the sea, the foredeck gives a quieter run of sun pads forward, and a beach club at the waterline opens onto the swim platform with the tenders and a full set of toys close at hand.
Inside, the formal rooms are what set her apart. The main salon is a generous, light filled space, deep sofas and armchairs gathered beneath a decorative ceiling with the sea framed through large windows, and forward a separate dining room seats the full party around a proper table for dinners aboard. Up on the bridge deck the skylounge is a quieter, more intimate room, a second lounge with its own bar and an easy flow out to the shaded upper aft deck. The maple joinery and soft furnishings run warm and calm throughout.
Accommodation is arranged over five cabins for twelve guests. The master stateroom takes the full beam of the yacht, a private apartment with good natural light, a sitting area and its own marble bathroom, finished in the same warm maple as the living spaces. A run of double and twin guest cabins looks after the rest of the party, each generous, private and well stored with its own facilities, the kind of rooms that make a long charter among the islands genuinely comfortable.
Under way she is a calm, capable sea boat, holding an easy cruise in the mid teens with the range and the manners to make real passages rather than short hops. Her natural ground is Greece, the islands and the mainland coast, where her size opens up the quieter anchorages as readily as the lively harbours, and a crew of twelve keeps the whole experience effortless from the first morning to the last.
INVADER suits a large family or a group of friends who want the space, the service and the separate rooms of a genuine superyacht at a length that stays manageable and good value. Her Codecasa pedigree, her classic interior and her recent refit set her apart, and her crew and her volume make her an easy, generous way to charter the Greek islands in real comfort.
