PRESTIGE

THE BRAND

- 

Prestige Yachts' first ever boat was a 41ft sportscruiser. Launched in 1989 by parent company, Jeanneau, it was the result of what would become an enduring collaboration with celebrated Italian studio, Garroni Design. In the year 2000, shortly after its acquisition by the Beneteau Group, Prestige then moved into flybridge cruisers, becoming astonishingly successful with its cleverly conceived layouts and its ability to make motoryachts feel as much like floating homes as boats.

Having achieved preeminence in the 40-75ft flybridge sector, it then responded once again to market trends by introducing a line of powercats. It began with the M48 in 2022, before following that up with a pair of larger cats in the form of the M8 (a 65-footer with the volume of an 85ft monohull) and the M7 (a 59-footer with the volume of a 75ft monohull). And the fact that Beneteau ownership enabled these larger cats to be built at the same Monfalcone factory as Monte Carlo Yachts brought higher levels of finish and customisation than ever before.
