VEYA Yachts Moves Forward with the VEYA 53 and Confirms the Next Steps in Its Range
Arcachon, France - April 23rd, 2026 - VEYA Yachts confirms that the VEYA 53, the brand’s inaugural model, is moving forward through construction as it advances toward its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026. Born from the collaboration between Fountaine Pajot and Couach, and first introduced publicly in early 2025, VEYA now enters a more visible phase of development - one shaped not by a single announcement, but by a long-term vision for a lasting range.
A Brand Built to Last
VEYA was never conceived as a one-time project. It was built from a close industrial and strategic relationship between two established French shipyards whose strengths are distinct, yet deeply complementary. Fountaine Pajot brings more than four decades of experience in developing and marketing catamarans around the world. Couach brings more than a century of shipbuilding expertise, forged in yacht construction as well asmilitary and professional vessels, where standards of execution andcraftsmanship are uncompromising.
Together, they created VEYA with a clear ambition: to establish a premium power-catamaran brand with coherence, continuity, and purpose.
“VEYA was always meant to be more than a single launch,” said Romain Motteau, CEO of VEYA Yachts. “From the beginning, the intention was to build a brand with substance and with time behind it - a brand capable of offering a true range, developed with discipline, clarity, and consistency. The VEYA 53 is the first expression of that ambition, not the last.”
The VEYA 53, Moving Forward with Clarity
The VEYA 53 remains the first and most visible expression of the brand’s philosophy. Designed around generous living, calm circulation, and quietly integrated technology, it reflects a considered approach to life on board - where comfort is natural, movement is intuitive, and every detail serves a purpose.
As production advances, the first line is beginning to take shape. Hulls #1, #2 and #3 are already under construction, while hull #4 is currently being laminated. This steady progress confirms both the commitment behind the project and the confidence already forming around the model ahead of its Cannes Debut.
The VEYA 53 will be presented to the market in Cannes in September 2026, marking a decisive milestone for the brand as it steps onto the international stage. Following, the VEYA 53 will continue its international introduction with an appearance at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2026. This next step will bring the model to one of the Yachting calendar’s key U.S. events, extending VEYA’s presence into North America as the brand begins to establish itself in the market.
A Range in the Making
Today, VEYA Yachts is also confirming the next steps in its product roadmap.
A teaser of the next model in the range is being revealed now, ahead of its launch in September 2027. A third model is already planned for 2028. With these next two developments, VEYA makes clear that it is engaged in building a brand with depth - not simply introducing one yacht, but establishing a catalogue with continuity over the next three years. Production is planned at approximately 12 to15 boats per year, per model, allowing VEYA to preserve focus, maintain standards, and grow with control.
From Now to Cannes
From now to Cannes 2026, VEYA Yachts will begin sharing regular updates as the first model continues to move forward. These will include selected construction images, progress from the yard, and further insight into the brand and the philosophy behind it.
The VEYA 53 is the first chapter. The range that follows will confirm the broader commitment behind it.
