Accommodations and Descriptions
Cockpit / Tender Garage / Engine Room
The aft cockpit is designed to serve as a natural extension of the yacht’s interior living space. Generous seating creates an inviting environment for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing at anchor, while the integrated electric retractable awning provides shade when desired without compromising the yacht’s sleek sport profile.
One of the standout features of the Prestige 500 S is her integrated tender garage, providing convenient storage while keeping the swim platform and cockpit uncluttered. A dinghy is included, making the yacht ready for exploring anchorages, heading ashore, or enjoying watersports.
Below deck, the engine compartment houses the yacht’s twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesel engines, showing approximately 600 hours. The IPS propulsion system is one of the defining features of the Prestige 500 platform, providing excellent maneuverability, cruising efficiency, reduced noise and vibration, and intuitive joystick docking. A spare set of propellers is also included, a valuable addition for an owner planning extended cruising.
Salon / Helm
The main salon is where the 500 S truly separates itself from a conventional express yacht. Surrounded by expansive glass, the salon offers excellent natural light and panoramic visibility while maintaining the comfort and protection of a fully enclosed interior.
A large electrically operated sunroof transforms the space at the touch of a button, providing an open-air experience when conditions allow. Combined with the large aft glass doors, the entire main deck can be opened to create a seamless connection between the salon and cockpit.
The helm is positioned for excellent visibility and easy operation, with Raymarine touchscreen multifunction displays, radar, autopilot, and Volvo IPS controls providing the captain with the equipment needed for confident coastal and extended cruising. Joystick control makes close-quarters maneuvering and docking exceptionally intuitive.
Galley
The galley is thoughtfully integrated into the main living area, allowing whoever is preparing meals or cocktails to remain part of the conversation rather than being isolated below deck.
Designed with both weekend entertaining and longer stays aboard in mind, it offers modern appliances, generous preparation space, and ample storage for provisions, cookware, and dining essentials. Its central location also provides convenient service to both the salon and cockpit, making the layout especially well suited for entertaining.
Master Stateroom
The full-beam master stateroom is one of the signature features of the Prestige 500 and a major reason the model remains so popular.
Located amidships, the master takes advantage of the yacht’s full beam to create accommodations more commonly associated with a significantly larger yacht. Large hull-side windows provide natural light and a connection to the water, while abundant storage makes the space comfortable for extended cruising.
Most notably, the master suite benefits from its own private companionway, separating the owner's accommodations from the forward guest cabins and creating an exceptional level of privacy for a yacht of this size.
VIP Stateroom
Forward, the VIP stateroom provides spacious and comfortable accommodations for guests. Excellent natural light, thoughtful storage, and a well-designed berth arrangement make this a true guest stateroom rather than simply an occasional sleeping space.
Its location forward also provides separation from the master suite, allowing owners and guests to enjoy greater privacy during longer trips aboard.
Third Stateroom
The third stateroom adds another level of versatility to the 500 S. Whether used for children, additional guests, family members, or extra onboard storage when cruising as a couple, the cabin makes the yacht exceptionally capable for a vessel in the 50-foot class.
Together, the three private staterooms allow the 500 S to comfortably accommodate family and friends without sacrificing the spacious salon, cockpit, or owner's accommodations that make the model so appealing.
Performance Meets Livability
This 2017 Prestige 500 S remains one of the most compelling sport-yacht designs in its class. Her combination of three private staterooms, full-beam master suite, opening sunroof, integrated tender garage, Volvo IPS propulsion, Starlink connectivity, and expansive indoor/outdoor entertaining areas delivers the space and functionality of a larger yacht in an exceptionally manageable package.
Whether her next owner plans to spend weekends on the water, entertain family and friends, or embark on extended coastal cruising, this Prestige 500 S offers the performance, comfort, and versatility to do it exceptionally well.
