Superyacht Main in La Spezia

The 65m superyacht Main, built by Codecasa in 2008, is seen here cruising in La Spezia.

Ahead of its completion next year, Codecasa welcomed one of its largest superyachts to date at their facility in Viareggio last week.

The outfitting and finishing of the yacht will now take place before her delivery next summer.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/41691/image/large-4e6c5a63ba3691e86c1c4103d9631020.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/41691">The new Codecasa 65 follows in the footsteps of motor yachts <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/585" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Main65.0m (213'3&quot;)">MAIN</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1970" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Eternity65.0m (213'3&quot;)">Eternity</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2215" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Double Down65.0m (213'3&quot;)">Double Down</a> and will, just as these three previous projects, be built to the client’s personal tastes and cruising requirements. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/41692/image/large-17b955c6f134905df14a6958f3cc4b9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/41692">The yacht’s exterior and engineering platform is designed by Codecasa’ in-house department, who are working together by the owner’s chosen design team on the interior spaces of the yacht.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/41770/image/large-5770bd32f742eb6cfde391043d6c008f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/41770">F74 is expected to reach a top speed of 17 knots.

Superyacht Main in Bol, Croatia

The 65-metre superyacht Main is known throughout the industry for her characteristic pure-black exterior. Her stylish Italian owner, who has become a household name within the global luxury fashion industry, worked closely with Codecasa in designing the vessel together with his own team of Oretelli and Della Role. Her interior is an illustration of her owner’s eclectic Italian style which can be viewed <a href="http://www.codecasayachts.com/yachts/main/" target="_blank">here</a>. This image was captured as Main was anchored off the town of Bol on the island of Brač in Croatia.

Codecasa’s 65m Main arriving in Malta

In the morning of Saturday April 19, 2008 Codecasa launched the 65m Main (hull C 115) from the Codecasa Tre facility in Viareggio, Italy. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124624/image/large-f58fca1b3de32708a9bcb5a124b9383c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124624">This new Codecasa 65 reflects the owner's idea of the way one should live the sea. This is evidenced by the fact that the owner cooperated with his personal designers, Ortelli, and with Codecasa's designers Della Role, to define all the interiors and the exteriors. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124625/image/large-93d32de99cbaf74b09028c619e332951.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124625">

Codecasa launches the 65m Main

Codecasa's order book for 2008 foresees the launching and delivery of two motor yachts, a 65m and a 51m, respectively ordered by an Italian Shipping Company and by an American owner. The Codecasa 65, which will be launched in the month of April and delivered on May/June presents a particular style in the hull. She will break all traditional yachting rules with a scenographic stern. Large steps will be running from the main deck down to the swimming platform and several side structural fashion plates on the two upper decks give the yacht a powerful look, similar to a ship. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124147/image/large-82a2d29f505e8928037c18e5af0dda89.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124147">The Codecasa 51, which will be delivered in July, shows the classic Codecasa external lines, whereas the interiors, classic as well, have been designed by Della Role along with the owners. A novelty here is represented by the realization of a foldable balcony on the starboard bulwark offering a direct sea view from the owner's suite. Springtime 2009 will see the launching and delivery of the second Codecasa 41s Open. The external lines of this yachts, commissioned by a client who already owns a Codecasa 35s Open, are designed by Andre Bacigalupo, whereas the interior decoration, in modern style, will be done by Studio Porfiri. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124148/image/large-8529fbfee336ca598cfee664aee229b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124148">2010 will see the launching and delivery of two new Codecasa 65 yachts for clients, who already own Codecasa Yachts. The first 65 meter, ordered by an important European owner, will show the traditional Codecasa lines, but will be characterized by very particular distinctive details. The second 65m, for a Far East owner, will distinguish itself for its streamlined and harmonious profile and for its slender stern which will include a wide swimming platform. Both interiors will be designed by Della Role. All the above mentioned yachts will have the highest class from the class societies (Lloyd's Register and American Bureau of Shipping) and will be MCA compliant. Last but not least, the construction of another Codecasa 51, whose delivery is scheduled for summer 2011, has already started. <noscript></noscript>
