Couach — Over 125 Years of French Motor Yacht Craftsmanship

Couach is one of France’s oldest and most distinguished yacht builders, founded in 1897 in Gujan-Mestras on the Arcachon Basin in the Gironde.

The yard is particularly renowned for its offshore patrol vessels and fast motor yachts, combining French artisanal tradition with modern engineering precision in a way that has attracted discerning private owners and professional operators alike for over a century.
