50 ft Prestige 2017

Prestige is known for maximizing space and creating functional, yet stylish layouts. Perhaps the 500s is their best example of that philosophy. In addition to a three stateroom / two head layout, aft galley, and large salon, the boat also boats a private entrance to the master cabin which is typically reserved for much larger yachts. This space is created, in part, by the Volvo Penta IPS system. Not only does it allow for incredibly precise docking, but it allows the engine room to be moved further aft in the boat, resulting in larger cabins than most other boats in this class.

A more complete list is coming soon, but below are notable options, features, and upgrades:

• Volvo Penta IPS 600s with docking and high speed mode (350 hours)
• Bose Audio system in master and salon
• Bow thruster
• Washer/Dryer combo
• Electric blinds in salon
• Fresh water washdown pump
• Tender garage
• Grey oak interior
• Hydraulic platform
• Icemaker
• Cockpit joystick station with bow thruster control
• Teak decks throughout
• Tropical air conditioning upgrade – 69,000 BTU
• Diesel heater for both wintertime heat and automatic heating of the engine room – this prevents any need for winterization
• Upgraded under water lights
• Exterior 110V AC outlets added (6x)
• IPS shafts resealed (2024)

In addition to the extended hydraulic platform, the transom features a fixed section which makes boarding easy even if a tender is stored on the platform. A hot and cold fresh water shower wand is great for rinsing off after a swim while the freshwater wash down helps with washing down the deck or tender. A city water inlet allows the freshwater tank and pump to be bypassed and provides constant pressure without having to continually refill the tanks. In addition to the platform, the tender can be concealed in the tender garage. The garage, coupled with a hydraulic platform, makes it very easy to deploy the tender. Two 110V AC outlets have been added which are great for extra lighting, or a compressor to inflate water toys.

The cockpit is entered through a spring loaded, plexiglass gate. When desired, the cockpit can be covered with an electric sunshade that stops at the transom and truly covers the entire cockpit. Centerline, u-shaped seating is situated around a natural teak table, perfect for al fresco entertaining. The table is on a high-low pedestal that, when lowered, converts to a sun pad with the help of a filler cushion. Engine room access is convenient through two hatches, port and starboard. A center cockpit hatch opens to the ceiling of the tender garage, which is convenient when storing lines and fenders. Overhead lights and speakers are housed in the hardtop and two extra 110V AC outlets have been added for extra convenience. A hidden cockpit joystick station also features a bow thruster control for easy docking when backing into a slip or coming side-to.

The salon doors are cleverly designed to not only enter from the starboard side but can also be slid so access is directly into the galley, on the port side. Immediately to starboard is the private entrance to the master – a privacy feature typically reserved for much larger boats. The port side, island-style galley features all the amenities of home: three-burner range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, stainless steel sink, and plenty of storage.

The salon is forward and boasts an incredible amount of seating for a 50’ boat. A C-shaped sofa arrangement is flanked by a port side facing sofa to create true wrap around seating throughout the entire salon. A BOSE surround sound system floods the entire galley and salon with music driven off a modern Fusion stereo. A high-low, leather topped table serves as a perfect coffee table but also folds out when a true dining table is needed. Opening windows on both sides and a massive retractable sunroof flood the salon with natural light and air when desired. Forward, opposite the helm, is a cleverly concealed TV that hinges up for easy viewing.

The helm features a full complement of electronics, switches, and equipment that will satisfy even the most demanding captains. Upgraded, dual Raymarine Axiom units feature a lightning-fast processor for quick operation and chart redraws. The autopilot controller is conveniently located in between the chart plotters, which makes longer trips much more comfortable. The Prestige, leather wrapped steering wheel is adjustable whether the captain is standing or sitting. A salon thermostat is conveniently located at the helm to easily change the temperature while driving. Other equipment at the captains disposal include, but aren’t limited to: anchor chain counter, Volvo Penta engine display, IPS joystick, throttles, bow thruster, trim tab controls, and VHF.

The master stateroom houses a centerline bed situated against the aft bulkhead, flanked on both sides by nightstands and reading lights. A TV with BOSE surround sound is mounted on the forward bulkhead while a dresser is situated to starboard, and settee is found on the port side, forward of the large hanging closet. Large hull side windows with opening portholes and shades give the owner the option of complete privacy, natural light, and cross ventilation. Forward is the master head with a full stand-up shower, mirrored medicine cabinet, and basin style sink. Plenty of storage is found under the countertop as well.

Forward in the boat is the VIP stateroom. True to Prestige’s ability to maximize space, the bed, although it sits against the forward bulkhead, is easy to make with a near complete walk around. An overhead deck hatch can be opened for fresh air and also features a screen as well as black out shades. The stateroom has it’s own dedicated Fusion stereo and TV. A port side vanity can also serve as a desk and comes complete with an adjustable reading light. Large hanging closets are found aft, on either side.

On the port side of the boat is the guest stateroom with side-by-side berths. Like all the other staterooms, it houses a hull side window with opening porthole, reading lights, overhead lights, large closet, and TV. Opposite the guest stateroom is the day head. Shower doors cleverly fold out of the way when not in use to maximize the floorspace of the head. A basin style sink sits under mirrored medicine cabinets and also features under counter storage.

Finally, the engine room is easily accessed through two hatches in the cockpit. Dual Volvo Penta IPS 600s propel the boat while an Onan 11KW generator provide onboard power for AC systems. The IPS 600s are the original IPS model that debuted in 2006 and have been truly perfected to become one of the best engine/drive packages available. All strainers and thru-hulls are conveniently located for easy access. The boat air conditioning features a chilled water loop Dometic system. This is far superior than Condaria units that have give chilled loop air conditions a bad name. Pods are accessed in a separate compartment, aft of the engine room, further reducing noise in the salon.
