Prestige announces 3 new models for the 2017 season, including the Prestige 560, the largest model in the Flybridge range with its 18.22 m (the model below, the Prestige 500 is 15.2 m long). It is an evolution of the late Prestige 550 released in 2012 (17.92 m).
Its aft platform has been extended and allows easy access to the cockpit with a telescopic footbridge. In terms of design, the changes between the 550 and the new 560 are based on details. It should be noted that the hull windows of the 550 have been transformed into elongated glazing, a design that is now found on almost all motor boats.
The "old" Prestige 550 released in 2012, now replaced by the 560.
On the foredeck, there is a large sunbathing area, while the flybridge has a starboard steering console with a large lateral sunbathing area, all protected by a windscreen. A U-shaped sofa occupies the back of the flybridge. At the stern of the deck, the cockpit has a dining area with a trunk that gives access to the skipper's cabin. The rear platform extends the boat and provides easy access to the sea.

The interior has also been modified even if the layout remains similar (layout plan also found on the 500). Under the deckhouse are two distinct spaces: the fully equipped galley at the stern and the lounge/dining area with steering console to starboard. Access to the three cabins is via two downspouts, front and rear (at kitchen level).

The large owner's cabin is located in the centre of the boat (accessed from the kitchen) with double bed, armchairs, dressing room and bathroom. At the bow end of the boat, a second double cabin shares a bathroom with a twin cabin (two single beds).

Undoubtedly, the Prestige 560 will be bright, spacious and designed with the greatest care to ensure maximum comfort.
On the engine side, it will be equipped with 2 Cummins Zeus pods with integrated flaps propelled by 2 x 600 hp. This standard equipment is part of a large package that includes, among other things, autopilot, skyhook (virtual anchor), and software suite.
The Prestige 560 will also be available in Sportfly (560S) version in 2017.
