62m Codecasa ESMERALDA Listed for Charter From $230,000 With 11 Cabins

The 62-metre Codecasa ESMERALDA is currently offered for charter through Fraser from $230,000 per week, with accommodation for as many as 18 guests in 11 cabins. Built in 1981 and extensively refitted in 2001 with continuing updates since, the classic yacht is operated by a crew of 19 and is positioned for larger charter parties than the conventional 12-guest layout.

Eleven cabins set ESMERALDA apart

Fraser's current specification records 11 guest cabins, allowing ESMERALDA to accommodate 18 guests subject to the yacht's certification and the terms of a particular charter. That cabin count is unusual in the private-yacht market and makes the vessel relevant for extended families, corporate groups and larger parties.

The arrangement also places greater demands on service, housekeeping and food-and-beverage operations than a conventional six-cabin yacht. A crew of 19 supports the guest capacity, giving the yacht the staffing needed to operate multiple cabins, dining areas and exterior spaces simultaneously.

A classic platform that has been repeatedly updated

ESMERALDA was delivered by Codecasa in 1981, but the current charter proposition depends heavily on subsequent refit and maintenance work. Fraser records a 2001 refit and describes the yacht as continuously updated, which is important context for a vessel whose original delivery predates many modern guest and technical systems.

Prospective charterers should still confirm the exact current specification rather than assume that every system dates from the latest major refit year. Entertainment equipment, tenders, communications and guest amenities can all change through rolling maintenance programmes between formal refits.

Large-group use shapes the onboard programme

The yacht's unusually high guest capacity is supported by substantial dining and exterior areas designed to bring a large party together. At the same time, multiple decks and cabins allow guests to divide into smaller groups, an important practical consideration when 15 or more people are aboard for several days.

The longstanding crew is a significant part of that proposition because service routines become more complex as guest numbers increase. Charter clients should confirm any event, passenger or cruising restrictions in advance, particularly where local regulations or commercial-yacht rules differ between jurisdictions.

The current base rate starts at $230,000

Fraser publishes a charter rate beginning at $230,000 per week, before operating expenses and applicable taxes. That headline price places ESMERALDA differently from many newer 60-metre yachts, while the large accommodation plan provides a distinctive capacity advantage for suitable charter groups.

The base fee is not the full cost of a charter and final pricing will depend on dates, cruising area, fuel, provisions and local charges. Availability can also change quickly, so the listing should be treated as a current market reference rather than a guaranteed quote for every itinerary.
