Prestige 590S

The Prestige 590S is a boat that can do it all, and do it in style, too.

The model follows the recent trend of yachts that have the sleek lines of an express cruiser, yet also possess a “hidden” flybridge deck up top. The combination offers the best of both worlds: Pleasing aesthetics and extra room for entertaining.

“We are extremely excited to get this boat in stock,” says David Giles, vice president of Michigan’s Colony Marine. “What’s really unique about this boat is, profile-wise, it looks like a sports coupe with understated lines, but it’s got a flybridge, so it’s also very versatile. It’s a wonderful boat for the Great Lakes area.”

Giles is also enamored with the French builder’s engineering, in particular, the sound attenuation on this vessel. “It doesn’t matter if you have the 590S out on the water going 27 knots or if you’re at the dock with the air conditioner blasting,” he says. “It’s an extremely quiet boat, and that’s a testament to the way it’s built.”

Those 27-knot speeds, by the way, are complements of twin 600-hp Cummins 8.3 engines, offering not only throaty power, but expert maneuverability as well.

The boat also maximizes its onboard space for when its owners are hosting a party. Three separate outdoor entertainment spaces, including a bow lounge with a massive sunpad, the aforementioned flybridge and its upper helm, and a cockpit shaded by the bridge deck overhang, offer guests a chance to unwind in an alfresco atmosphere. What’s more lovely than that during the summertime on the Great Lakes? Meanwhile, a salon boasting excellent sightlines, a full crew’s quarters and a three-stateroom layout down below make sure everyone stays well rested for the good times ahead.
