LOCAL REVIEW | PRESTIGE 590 FLYBRIDGE

the ceramic cooktop with oven and deep sink,
though. Perishables are kept in a tall household-
style fridge-freezer and there's a microwave, too.
Ample overhead locker space is another plus,
with stylish lacquered white doors contrasting
nicely with the darkwood Alpi laminate.

MIDSHIPS OWNER'S CABIN
For rest time, there are three cabins and the
widest part of the vessel – midships – is devoted
to the owner's ensuite that has its own stairway at
the back of the saloon on the 590.
Underway, this zone has the kindest motion, but
most noise due to the engines just behind the bed
bulkhead.
However, it's a lovely berth with queen sized

island bed surrounded by large portlights (with

opening portholes) affording sea views and

tall headroom.

Our review boat had a lounge with table

on port, but an alternative is to have storage

space here.

Yet another smart and functional feature on

the 590 is the owner's bathroom that uses the

entire 15-foot beam, with head starboard, shower

central and clothes closet on port.

This dual access facility is a major selling point

for the Prestige 590 and certainly gets my vote as

best in category.

Here, the unusual use of roughened Corian

as flooring is yet another notable point on the

Prestige 590. Guests aren't quite so pampered in
