2018 Prestige 500

The 2018 Prestige 500 is a 50-foot fiberglass motor yacht built around a single-level European-inspired layout that maximizes living space and flow. Twin Volvo IPS600 pod drives deliver 870 horsepower total, enabling a cruising speed of 24 knots and a top speed near 29 knots. The IPS joystick system provides responsive handling, while a bow thruster adds maneuverability in tight spaces. Recent electronics upgrades include new Raymarine systems at both the flybridge and lower helm stations.

Accommodations include four cabins and two heads. The full-beam owner's suite features private salon access and panoramic hull windows, along with a dinette for two. The VIP stateroom forward offers a flexible island double bed convertible to V-berths, while the third guest cabin has twin berths with a filler. A compact crew cabin is located aft. The galley sits aft in an open configuration that connects the salon and cockpit, designed for entertaining and daily use.

The expansive flybridge is reached by an open staircase and includes a forward sundeck, helm station with double seating, outdoor galley, and a large dining table. An extended hydraulic swim platform at the stern provides guest access to the water.

Recent maintenance and upgrades span 2023 to 2025 and include new batteries throughout, a full engine service with new filters and oil, pod gear oil changes, bottom paint, new window blinds and electric salon blinds, a new salon television, new washer and dryer, new anchor, and new fenders and lines. A 2023 12-foot West Marine tender with a 30-horsepower Mercury outboard (2 engine hours) is included.
