La Pellegrina 1 is a 50 m motor yacht built by Couach in 2012 (refitted 2024), for 12 guests in 6 cabins with 11 crew. Charter from €180,000 per week in summer (Italy, Monaco and Sardinia); in winter from €180,000 (Western Mediterranean and Greece), plus expenses.
A gold-hulled Couach built in composite to run fast, with a pale Fantini interior and the owner's cabin up on the bridge deck behind its own terrace.
From the shore you spot this yacht long before her name is legible: the hull is painted gold, and that warm tone follows you inside, where light off the water bounces between lacquered ceiling panels and saloon windows that run from floor to ceiling. The French yard Couach launched her in 2012 as its flagship, one of only two hulls of the 5000 Fly model, and a spell in the yard in 2024 left her looking close to new.
The hull is the real point of difference. Composite construction keeps the weight down, and two MTU engines push her along at a cruising pace of about 22 knots, far quicker than the 12 or so a steel displacement yacht of this length would manage. That changes what a week can hold: breakfast in one bay, a swim off an island a long way down the coast before lunch, and dinner somewhere else again. With fuel aboard for some 3,500 nautical miles, moving her a long way between bases is never a worry either.
Jean-Pierre Fantini drew the interior in pale wood, white lacquer and mirror-polished steel, and hid the screens so that paintings and sculpture set the tone. The saloon is a single open room, sofas at one end and the dining table at the other. The cabin plan is a little unusual. The principal suite is not on the main deck but one level up, opening onto a private terrace and fitted with a few pieces of fitness kit; the VIP, for its part, takes the forward end of the main deck, wrapped in glass that sees 180 degrees. Whoever hosts can keep some distance from the rest of the party.
On deck, life is split between a sheltered dining area and black-lacquered bar on the main deck aft and a sun deck with a second covered table and a Jacuzzi framed in teak.
She suits friends or a family with teenagers who want to see plenty of coastline and don't mind the sound of a fast boat getting there. Planing hulls get lively when the sea builds, and running quickly burns fuel, which ends up in the running costs. Anyone who pictures slow, silent passages should look at a displacement yacht or a sailing boat instead.
