The Prestige 500 S lies perfectly in the philosophy of the world of the Prestige: “clear” design; good sea-keeping qualities; simple, elegant style; very large living space. In addition, the Prestige 500 S offers a very special consideration unveiling a new type of layout: the concept of an “owner’s suite” on a boat of under 50 feet.
“Clear” design: The Prestige 500 S is a large “coupé”, characterised by a very comfortable interior saloon (with a large, opening roof and a sliding panel aft), which gives onto a cockpit “lounge” on the same level (with tender garage). The “coupé” concept greatly encourages use for cruising and relaxation during the sailing season, (as opposed to the “open sport top”, which is aimed mainly at day boating).
Sea-keeping qualities: the powerful, spacious hull has been designed to obtain the best speed/efficiency ratio and first-class sea keeping. For efficiency and economy in use, the engine chosen - VOLVO with IPS 2 transmission – gives the best. For performance, the very wide, evolutionary, measured (X °) V-hull ensures the desired speeds (smooth hull) and life on board in real comfort under way (basic stability).
Simple, elegant style: The style of the Prestige 500 S is marked out as simple, without excess, and very elegant. The high, powerful hull, emphasised by its very characteristic windows, is its first credential. The new outline, very uncluttered with large glazed areas and flowing sport top, is distinguished by the very fresh, individual lines (gouge line on the sport top, shape of the side windows, windscreen shape); lastly, the size of the sport top, covering half the length of the cockpit, and the very contemporary style of the cockpit “lounge”, giving a perfect balance of space. The natural, timeless elegance of the Prestige 500 S makes it stand out in an overly competitive design world.
Very large living space: The Prestige 500 S above all retains the charm of life on board. Choosing to offer “living on one level” determines the whole of the interior accommodation.
Outside, the cockpit “lounge” is treated as a real living area. Completely open to the saloon and galley through the sliding door when fully open (4-panel door), it becomes a natural extension. Open to the sky to benefit from the sun, it can be completely protected by a furling sun awning. The sundeck forward also benefits from very comfortable equipment, being fitted with a recessed bimini and backrests for reading.
