The brand new Prestige F4 is very important for the French giant. Not only is this three-cabin, 50ft flybridge cruiser wading into one of the most competitive sectors in the market but this new model sets the tone for the next generation of Prestige F-Line models.
In this in-depth review, walkthrough tour and sea trial, Jack Haines puts the Prestige F4 to the test to see where it stands against competitors like the Princess F50, Galeon 530 Fly and Absolute 52 Fly.
Designed in partnership with naval architect Michael Peters and long-time Prestige designer Camillo Garoni, the F4 boasts a striking new look, which will be introduced across the F-Line range and a return to a forward owner’s suite with two guest cabins amidships. The spacious owner’s cabin, forward, has excellent headroom and a large ensuite with the VIP and twin guest cabins sharing the space amidships.
On deck, the cockpit seating is arranged along the centre line in a design move first seen in Prestige’s X-Line range and in the saloon, the novel aft galley runs across the saloon rather than along it to create a large, more sociable kitchen space.
Volvo Penta IPS650 (480hp) is the only engine option and will push the Prestige F4 to a top speed just shy of 30 knots and a 22-knot cruise.
