Prestige Yachts Unveils the F5.7: A New Era of Luxury and Innovation
Prestige Yachts has announced the launch of its latest model, the PRESTIGE F5.7, marking a significant evolution in their F-Line New Generation series. This yacht aims to redefine market trends and cater to evolving customer expectations. Positioned at the heart of the brand’s offerings, within the 40 to 70-foot motor yacht segment, the F5.7 showcases Prestige’s commitment to innovation, according to Erwin Bamps, Vice-President of PRESTIGE.
Elegant Design and Superior Performance
The F5.7 boasts sleek, fluid exterior lines inspired by the ocean’s movement, blending elegance with power. Distinctive fashion plates along the sides, extending from the expansive hull glazing, establish the visual identity of the new generation F-Line.
Designed by Michael Peters, the F5.7’s hull features a deep-V configuration, enabling the 17-meter vessel to navigate comfortably and safely through various sea conditions. A slightly rounded bow enhances stability. The yacht’s design prioritizes an unparalleled onboard living experience, with dynamic exterior spaces that seamlessly integrate with airy, light-filled interiors.
“This new F5.7 perfectly embodies our desire to anticipate the expectations and needs of our customers by bringing ever more innovative products to the market,” says Clémence Cessou, Product Marketing Manager at PRESTIGE.
Cessou highlights the deep-V hull designed by Michael Peters, offering superior navigation comfort, and the OceanView Galley, which opens onto a uniquely designed cockpit maximizing ocean views. The intelligently designed semi-level master suite provides the space and amenities typically found on larger yachts. The F5.7 is crafted to enhance the connection with the ocean, increase conviviality, and reinforce privacy and comfort, delivering a fantastic onboard experience.
Flybridge: Comfort and Openness
The flybridge, topped with an elegant hard top featuring a sunroof, serves as a central gathering space. A co-pilot seat, inspired by customer requests, allows guests to share the navigation experience. A spacious sunbed invites relaxation and conversation. The well-arranged flybridge includes a bar, a fully equipped kitchen, an elegant C-shaped seating area, and a table for six, creating an ideal terrace overlooking the ocean for convivial moments and panoramic views.
Exterior Spaces: Connecting with the Sea
From dawn to dusk, the F5.7 offers numerous spaces for living and sharing. Easy access to the sea is provided via two secure stairways on the port and starboard sides, leading to a large submersible aft platform. This feature is perfect for swimming, cooling off, or simply enjoying conversations at the water’s edge with stunning backdrops.
The bow features curved seating around a discreet table, with adjustable sunbed backrests for relaxation. This area transforms into a lounge facing the sea, easily accessible via wide, secure side decks, ideal for enjoying the ocean, relaxing, reading, dreaming, or contemplating the horizon.
Unobstructed Ocean Views
The yacht’s aft cockpit serves as a central convivial space, featuring two opposing sofas and a table for discussions, sunset cocktails, and meals with friends. The 360° circulation and ample storage enhance the space’s functionality and appeal. Enclosed by the sea, caressed by the breeze, and sheltered from the sun, the cockpit can be transformed into a private, protected area with an elegant fabric awning. The OceanView Galley, connecting interior and exterior spaces, exemplifies the F5.7’s focus on conviviality and fluidity. This fully equipped and functional kitchen is designed to connect with nature while remaining close to guests.
The forward master suite, featuring a king-size bed, offers unique moments of intimacy and relaxation, benefiting from natural light through large windows on the sides and ceiling. Three cabins, three bathrooms, and a spacious skipper’s cabin are unique features for a yacht of this size, according to Camillo Garroni, designer of the F5.7.
Exclusive Private Spaces
A private access from the main deck allows owners to retreat discreetly to their cabin. Strategically located forward on a semi-level, the master suite ensures absolute tranquility, away from the engine room and pontoon activity. Its generous flush surface, high ceilings, and natural light from portholes create a refined and enveloping atmosphere. Noble materials like wood and natural-toned textiles enhance its luxurious charm. Equipped with a king-size bed, a private bathroom with a separate shower and double vanity, a dressing table, and a large dressing room, this suite ensures absolute comfort and ease.
Guests are equally well-accommodated in a magnificent VIP cabin with a refined design, offering sea views, a comfortable queen-size bed, a dressing room, and a private bathroom. The oblique bed arrangement enhances the sense of space and ease of movement.
A third cabin offers two single beds and a separate bathroom. A large storage area at the rear of the yacht can be optionally converted into a fully equipped skipper’s cabin with separate access.
Advanced Technology Onboard
The Seanapps monitoring and assistance system enhances safety and peace of mind onboard. This application allows easy and continuous monitoring of onboard equipment and navigation or comfort data, simplifying maintenance and securing yacht usage. All yacht functionalities, from air conditioning to the bilge pump, can be managed and controlled via the Ship Control digital interface, accessible from a smartphone or tablet. The Joystick and Volvo IPS transmission system, aided by Garmin Surround View cameras, facilitate port maneuvers.
The F5.7 will be officially presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 10 to 15, 2024.
