By Adam CoxGuide To The Prestige Range Of Luxury Yachts
Prestige are a world-renowned luxury boat manufacturer with a wide range of boats, including the Flybridge and S-Line. These motorboats and yachts are built for both comfort and elegance to give you a real home away from home while on the water. The attention to detail in the design of every yacht of the Prestige Range is clear from the interview with Erik Stromberg, the Design and Development Manager from Prestige, as he explains in the video below:The Prestige Range is reassuringly expensive starting at £400k through to £2.5m, but for a good reason, as they have a lot more to offer in terms of quality and comfort. The 360° panoramic views from the main deck are unparalleled across the whole range, paired with great design throughout the whole vessel to provide a truly indulgent experience.
The galley is positioned so it is easily accessible from the saloon or cockpit with plenty of spacious lounge areas. On the majority of the range, the main cabin is accessible via a private stairwell separate from the main living spaces and the large flybridge decks offer space for sun-bathing, socialising or dining whilst enjoying amazing sea views.
From the Prestige 460 through to the new Prestige X70 (being launched at Cannes Boat Show 2020), all vessels are POD driven for excellent performance and control.
Prestige Range : Main Features To Think About
Engines & Power
The size of engine increases proportionally with the size of the vessels, some models in the range come with a choice of engine capacity, and in turn horsepower, to give an optimal cruising speed so you won’t be left behind.
All models come with, or have the option to come with, joystick control on the flybridge, at the interior helm and even one in the stern cockpit along with variable speed bow thrusters to assist mooring.
Prestige boats are one of the most fuel-efficient boats in the class. This is largely due to the fact the hulls and engines are married together from the outset, to give optimum efficiency.
Handling & Navigation
A range of navigational aids are available across the Prestige vessels. Provided by Raymarine, a world leader in high performance marine electronics, the devices deliver the very best in visual navigation information. Ranging from Clearcruise augmented reality to open array radar in multifunction navigation displays.To assist with mooring, bow thrusters and a reversing camera and even the new DocMate (Add link to MBY video) can be fitted to aid safe and accurate manoeuvring of the vessel. An additional feature, which is becoming more popular on this size of boat, is the SeaKeeper Gyro, which eliminates 95% of boat roll at low speeds and is available from the 590 upwards. This vacuum encapsulated gyroscope spins at speeds up to 557 miles per hour to prevent boat roll to provide a smoother experience for all on onboard.
