In the world of compact performance yachts, there is a particular pleasure in finding a vessel that balances pace, elegance, and genuine liveability. HUMMINGBIRD, a 30.4-metre motor yacht built by Couach Yachts in France, offers precisely that balance. Delivered in 2007 and refreshed through significant works in 2020 and 2025, she presents as a polished, highly usable yacht for owners who value speed, comfort, and the freedom to move beautifully between destinations.
With her low, athletic profile and composite construction, HUMMINGBIRD carries the distinctive spirit of Couach: purposeful, streamlined, and designed for owners who want more than a static floating residence. Powered by twin MTU engines, she reaches a top speed of 32 knots and cruises comfortably at 25 knots, making her especially appealing for island-hopping itineraries across Asia. Whether moving between Phuket’s surrounding islands, exploring Indonesia’s remote anchorages, or planning longer passages through the region, HUMMINGBIRD is built for owners who prefer momentum with refinement.
Her exterior spaces are arranged for relaxed days in the sun. The flybridge is generously proportioned, with a large aft sunpad, open-air dining beneath a removable awning, a barbecue, icemaker, and forward helm position. On the main deck aft, a second alfresco dining area creates a more intimate setting close to the water, while the swim platform provides easy access to the sea and tender. Forward, sunpads and a Portuguese bridge offer a quieter place for sundowners, morning coffee, or simply watching the coastline unfold.
Inside, HUMMINGBIRD’s atmosphere is bright, contemporary, and quietly elegant. Large picture windows draw natural light into the main saloon, where light woods, cream leather seating, and a restrained palette create a calm sense of space. A pop-up television and upgraded entertainment systems bring modern comfort without overwhelming the yacht’s minimalist character. Forward, the formal dining area can be adapted with a folding tabletop, allowing the space to feel open when not in use.
Accommodation is arranged for up to eight guests in four cabins. The full-beam owner’s suite is a highlight, with large picture windows, seating, a vanity area, and a his-and-hers en suite bathroom. A VIP double cabin, twin cabin, and single cabin with an additional berth complete the guest layout, supported by accommodation for four crew. It is a configuration that suits family cruising, private escapes with friends, or charter-style hospitality.
HUMMINGBIRD’s specification underlines her practicality as much as her style. She carries a 4.2-metre RIB tender with Yamaha outboard, snorkelling equipment, strong safety systems, comprehensive navigation equipment, and a watermaker capable of supporting extended time aboard. Her commercial registration and charter-ready positioning add further appeal for buyers seeking flexibility.
Currently offered at EUR 1,800,000, HUMMINGBIRD represents an attractive proposition in the 30-metre performance yacht segment: fast, stylish, recently refreshed, and ideally suited to the island-rich waters of Asia. For an owner seeking a yacht with presence, pace, and an easy sense of onboard elegance, she is a compelling invitation to travel beautifully.
