New Model: Prestige 550 Flybridge

Following on the very nice looks of the 500 series models, Prestige 550 Flybridge is similar in many respects to its smaller 500 sister, from the looks to the layout.  Basicaly on the 550 everything is just bigger.  Designed again by Prestige trio of designer companies; Garroni, J and J, and  JP the 550 presents itself as a practical good looking flybridge motor yacht with its wrap around all view windshield playing again a distinctive characteristic.  Prestige did also to stick on the layout of the 500 on the 550 offering some exquisite details which are quite hard to find at this size; like the separate entrance to the owners midships full beam stateroom, and the much appreciated very socializing astern galley on the main deck saloon.   Power and more so propulsion makes the difference in the 550 Flybridge, with twin Cummins 600hp and ZF Pods against the Volvo units of the 500.
