Debut

The first model of a new power-catamaran brand created by Fountaine Pajot and Couach, with four hulls already in build.

Two French yards, one new brand

VEYA was built from an industrial and strategic relationship between two established French shipyards whose strengths are complementary. Fountaine Pajot brings more than four decades of catamaran experience; Couach brings more than a century of shipbuilding, in yachts and in military and professional vessels.

Four hulls already in build

As production advances, hulls one, two and three are under construction and hull four is being laminated. VEYA says that progress confirms both the commitment behind the project and the confidence forming around the model ahead of Cannes.

Designed around calm circulation

The 53 is designed around generous living, calm circulation and quietly integrated technology. VEYA calls it a considered approach to life on board, where comfort is natural and movement intuitive.

A range, not a launch

A second model is teased for launch in September 2027 and a third is planned for 2028. Output is planned at roughly 12 to 15 boats a year per model, which VEYA says lets it preserve focus and grow with control.

“VEYA was always meant to be more than a single launch. From the beginning, the intention was to build a brand with substance and with time behind it.”
Romain Motteau — CEO of VEYA Yachts
