Joia The Crown Jewel

Joia The Crown Jewel is the yacht many brokers still know as Double Down. Codecasa built her in 2010 as the yard's flagship, a five-deck steel and aluminium displacement yacht. She changed hands in early 2024, took her new name and came out of a fresh refit in 2026. Her cruising map changed with her: after years based in the Bahamas and the Caribbean, she now spends summers in the Mediterranean and the Seychelles and winters in the Maldives, Thailand and the Gulf.

Three studios have shaped the interior: Della Role Design created it, and Evan K. Marshall and Susanne Skaf each reworked it afterwards. The mood is classic and formal: a Steinway grand stands in the saloon, meals can be served at a separate dining table, and a library waits for quiet afternoons. Most guests, though, end up one level higher in the winter garden: an open-air table that folding glass walls turn into a cooled room whenever rain arrives or the afternoon gets too hot.

Two details make her easier than most for families. The owner's suite spans the full beam and connects to a VIP cabin, so parents and young children, or grandparents and grandchildren, can share a private wing. And a lift links every level between the lower deck and the bridge, which, together with wheelchair-friendly access, makes her one of the few yachts of this size where a guest with limited mobility can reach almost every deck. The cinema turns into a massage room when no one is watching a film, and the bridge deck has a large Jacuzzi.

She is a natural choice for a large family or a group celebrating something who want space, a formal table and a crew of nineteen, and for anyone looking at the Indian Ocean or Southeast Asia in winter. Her tanks give her roughly 6,500 nautical miles at 12 knots, which is how she shifts from one ocean to another. She is less suited to guests who want a pared-back modern interior, or to a group in a hurry: this is a yacht for long, slow days, not fast island-hopping.
