Past meets present aboard Gazzella, appropriately. Part of the Vintage Series from Codecasa, the megayacht reflects classic elements outside and in, paired with the volumes that modern-day owners expect. The nearly 164-footer (49.9-meter) further is rich in details and textures that make her owner feel right at home.
The Vintage Series, which includes two prior deliveries (each smaller than Gazzella, too), has a set engineering platform and some set creature comforts. For Gazzella, the latter includes an elevator connecting all of the decks, including the sundeck. Cognizant that buyer still want to customize, Codecasa permits customers to plan the general arrangement around the set spaces. Despite what you may think, creativity can still ensue.
Take, for example, the main-deck VIP stateroom. Nearly all megayachts of this size, including fully custom ones, situate guests below decks. The owner of Gazzella clearly had a Very Important Person in mind to take along on cruises. There’s still plenty of space reserved for the master suite here, too, which includes an office. The master bath has a can’t-miss mosaic detail on the walls of the onyx-lined bath. An additional eight guests get two doubles and two twins below decks. Gazzella treats them to lush velvets and satins, amid the mahogany paneling found throughout the megayacht.
“Lush” is the operative word for Gazzella. The tones the owner selected for marbles, fabrics, and other decor features all command attention. Reds and golds dominate the saloon and dining area. Blues characterize the skylounge, from the marble adorning the bar top to the carpeting underfoot. Guests might linger in the stairway connecting the lower deck to the bridge deck, too. Mother of pearl and gold leaf detailing are found there, as is a gilded metal handrail.
Crew are not an afterthought on Gazzella, thankfully. Beneath their cabins (for 10) on the lower deck, Gazzella has walk-in refrigerators, cold stowage, and dry stowage. The main-deck galley contains a dumbwaiter to service the skylounge one level up. Speaking of that level, this is where you’ll find the captain’s stateroom. It adjoins the radio room, naturally connected further to the wheelhouse, a traditional arrangement.
