GUY COUACH 1601 – THE EXCELLENCE OF FRENCH YACHTING
Where timeless elegance meets exceptional refit.
In the market for classic yachts, few units can compete with the prestige of a Guy Couach 1601. Larger, more habitable, and more seafaring than the 1401, the 1601 offers true cruising comfort with remarkable volumes, exceptional stability, and build quality that has made the Guy Couach shipyards renowned.
This stunning 15.90-meter vessel, built in France, benefits from rigorous maintenance and significant investments made over the years. It is powered by two Detroit Diesel GM 6V92TA engines of 550 hp, totaling approximately 1,850 hours, a propulsion system renowned for its robustness and longevity.
Onboard, you will discover a yacht designed for long voyages with family or friends, featuring 3 cabins plus a crew cabin, up to 9 berths, 2 bathrooms, a fuel capacity of 3,000 liters, and 1,000 liters of freshwater, offering remarkable autonomy.

Significantly larger interior volumes.
An additional cabin and more berths.
