The Couach family business began in 1897 with Albert Couach, who founded a shipyard and marine-engine business in Arcachon. Guy Couach joined the family firm in 1946 and helped push it toward larger-scale boat production. He founded the Guy Couach shipyard in 1962 in Gujan-Mestras and moved the yard into composite construction. The company later became Couach Yachts, and the shipyard continues to operate from the Bassin d’Arcachon area.
