She’s known simply as Hull F75 for now, but this grey-painted, steel-hulled megayacht is the second in the Codecasa 42 Vintage Series, a semi-custom line developed entirely in house.
Introduced in 2009, the Codecasa 42 Vintage Series, with an LOA of 139’4” (42.5 meters), blends throwback styling with modern amenities, plus stays beneath the 500-gross-tons mark. Codecasa was inspired by a few well-known yachts for the exterior look, including Marlin, a 51-foot commuter built in 1930 and owned by Joseph Kennedy, the patriarch of the famed Kennedy family. Marlin rose to fame thanks to U.S. President John F. Kennedy, his son, since he used her as an unofficial Presidential yacht.
Codecasa’s Hull F75 has an equally classic interior design, highlighted by white tones and dark-wood soles throughout the three decks. The contrast should set a nice scene, given the 29’5” (9-meter) beam.
While owners typically select the colors and materials for the decor, this project is a spec build. Buyers should note that the Codecasa 42 Vintage Series features four guest staterooms and accommodations for six crew plus the captain. Like the first megayacht in the series, she should see a 4,000-nautical-mile range at 11 knots, powered by twin 1,650-hp Caterpillars. Top speed is just a bit higher, reportedly 17 knots.

Would have preferred an aesthetic round portals look for the upper decks (both upper decks actually) to give it a full classic look…
