2016 Prestige 500 S

Refined Express Cruising with Luxury Yacht Amenities

The Prestige 500 S helped redefine what owners could expect from a 50-foot express cruiser. Combining European styling, innovative space utilization, and Volvo IPS performance, the 500 S delivers the comfort and livability of a much larger yacht while maintaining the ease of operation that has made the model one of Prestige's most sought-after designs.

This exceptionally well-maintained 2015 Prestige 500 S has benefited from conscientious ownership, consistent annual servicing, and numerous recent upgrades. With low-stress Volvo IPS propulsion, a spacious two-head, three-stateroom layout, and an expansive opening hardtop, she is equally at home as a weekend retreat, coastal cruiser, or entertaining platform.

The current owners have invested heavily in ongoing maintenance and equipment updates, ensuring that the next owner can step aboard and immediately begin enjoying the boat without a lengthy project list.

Cockpit

The cockpit aboard the Prestige 500 S was designed to maximize outdoor living and entertaining. A large U-shaped seating area surrounds a beautifully finished teak table, creating an inviting gathering space for family and guests. The electric retractable cockpit awning provides shade when desired while maintaining the open-air feel that makes the S-model so popular.

The cockpit also features easy access to the tender garage, making watersports, launching a dinghy, or boarding from a floating dock exceptionally convenient. The Volvo IPS cockpit docking station (with bow thruster controller) is positioned to provide excellent visibility during close-quarters maneuvering, giving the captain confidence when docking in tight slips.

New exterior speakers and upgraded Fusion audio systems provide excellent sound quality throughout the outdoor entertainment areas.

Salon

Entering through the large glass aft doors, the salon feels remarkably spacious for a yacht of this size. Expansive side windows flood the interior with natural light, while the electrically operated XXL sunroof transforms the space into an open-air environment at the touch of a button.

Contemporary finishes, updated blinds, and clean European styling create a bright and inviting atmosphere. The salon seating area offers excellent sightlines and serves as the central gathering point onboard whether entertaining guests at the dock or relaxing after a day on the water.

The combination of natural light, headroom, and seamless connection to the cockpit is one of the defining features that has made the Prestige 500 S such a popular 50' yachting platform for the last fifteen years.

Twin berths maximize sleeping capacity without sacrificing comfort, making this space ideal for additional guests or children. Thoughtful storage and easy access to the guest head ensure practicality for longer stays aboard.
