The Prestige 60, European Powerboat of the Year, 2010 for power boats over 50 feet, is another boat ideal for the Asian market.
 
It is the only boat of its size with three cabins, it has crew accommodation, very large windows in the crew cabins, hydraulic lift at the stern and IPS propulsion.

Jeannau, which owns the Prestige brand, used its vast knowledge of building sailing yachts. The hull of the Prestige 60, for for example, was designed by the internationally recognize naval architect, Michael Peters, whose main expertise has been in large yachts.

The flybridge is another feature of the Prestige 60, over spacious living matched by comfort and elegance. It features an original arch and fibreglasses roof covering the entire lounge area of the flybridge. The design appears to meld perfectly into the overall design of the yacht.

Below the flybridge there is a large upper deck saloon with sea view, a vast interior saloon with large glass windows on the sea and three large cabins, including a skipper’s cabin. All cabins have private shower and head compartments and are in exotic wood. They have exceptional light. The crew cabin is located aft of the cockpit and has sea views through windows on the transom.

The steering station has lateral window opening electrically, an adjustable pilot seat with electronic controls, a console with instrument panel with space for two 14 in screens and a defogger for the windscreen.

The saloon has a bright, 360 degree view of the external, a large U-shaped bench, a ceiling mounted TV and removable wood and carpet floor panels. The dining area has retractable table seats for six to eight people, sofa seating and removable wood and carpet floor panels. The galley has a “step down” design concept and parquet floors.

The cockpit has a central bench seating with access to the passerelle on the port side and access to the swim platform on the starboard side, an electric retractable sun awning and electric windows on the portside awning. The swim platform is a spacious fiberglass platform fixed or hydraulic with a folding swim ladder.   

The 2 x Volvo IPS 900 engines generate 2 x 700 hp. The engine room is easily accessible for maintenance and repair. The deck is stratified fiberglass and polyester resin in a sandwich composition adapted to the different types of surfaces. The hull is constructed by infusion in laminate layers of fiberglass and polyester resin with sandwich and integrated osmosis barrier coating.

One thing is for sure, the Prestige brand is making its name very quickly worldwide and when you see one of these new Presitge 60's arrive in your local marina, you are going to want one.
