Prestige launches 450S and 550S

Prestige has chosen the world’s biggest boat show, that at Dusseldorf from January 19-27, for the world premiere of its new Prestige 450S and Prestige 550S.

Prestige says it continues to renew its product offerings and intends to increase its presence in the 45ft-55ft motoryacht market, following the successful launch of the Prestige 550 -- one sold into Sydney already -- in Cannes and the Prestige 450 in Paris.

Offering spacious double cabins, including one central cabin with independent access, the interior layout features many details that one would expect to find on a much larger model, we're told.

Also worth noting are the two large head compartments with separate showers.

The surprisingly generous dimensions of the cockpit give way to a large hydraulic swim platform and an immense storage compartment.

Prestige 550s: The coupé concept revisited

The concept of coupé motor yachts, as revisited by Prestige, features a large living space designed entirely on a single level, with a wide opening door to the cockpit and a large, electric sunroof.

This configuration is ideal for cruising in any weather conditions.

The sport flybridge is accessed by a staircase, and sheltered by a canopy, where the spacious sundeck on the roof of the sport top provides an additional space for relaxation, whether at anchor or at sea.

The cockpit of the Prestige 550S is said to be generously proportioned and features a comfortable sunbed, with an electric sun awning for shelter on demand. The aft cabin remains accessible from the cockpit.

A large hydraulic swim platform is the ideal place to enjoy the sea and store the tender.
