We have advised shipyards Couach and Fountaine Pajot on a joint venture to produce and market motor catamarans under a new brand name to be announced at the Miami International Boat Show 2025.
Following on from their subcontracting partnership, which saw Fountaine Pajot entrust Couach with the manufacture of its entire range of motor catamarans, called Motor Yachts, in 2022, the two companies decided to partner in a joint venture aimed at building and marketing premium motor catamarans.
This joint venture brings together Fountaine Pajot’s 20 years of expertise in the motor catamaran segment, as well as its sales network, with Couach shipyards’ production capabilities and expertise in the production of motor yachts for both private and professional customers, including government entities. Couach will hold the majority of the shares, with 60%, while Fountaine Pajot will hold 40%.
The Code 07 will be the first model of the joint venture and will be available in two versions, with three or four cabins. At 16 metres long and 8 metres wide, the Code 07 will be powered by Yanmar 250 or 640 hp engines. The name of the new brand will be unveiled at the Miami International Boat Show 2025.
