LOCAL REVIEW | PRESTIGE 590 FLYBRIDGE

ABOVE The owner’s suite is fantastic, with private entrance, full beam cabin and large ensuite
BELOW The forepeak guest cabin has a semi-island bed, walk-in closet and this spacious ensuite


the bow area, but nevertheless enjoy a spacious
ensuite cabin in the forepeak which even has a
walk-in closet that can hang long dresses and
other shore-going apparel.
Here, the wide and deep bows create an airy
berth, helped by large rectangular windows.
Behind this berth on port is the third,
smaller cabin which has two single beds – ideal
for teenagers.
Dual access to the bathroom of the main guest
cabin, also serves this third berth.
Throughout the 590, customisation can be
done via different carpets, linings and wood
finishes to personalise your vessel.

SMART SYSTEMS
The main helm console seat has just enough
room for a small co-skipper who will enjoy
the spectacular views through the large front
window, angled back to create the sleek profile
of the 590 which sensibly also illuminates the
below-decks corridor.
The windows are supported by slim struts to
maximise the skipper's visibility.
Two 12-inch Raymarine Axiom screens
dominate the console with electronic twin throttles
for the Cummins 600 horsepower engines and
Zeus pod joystick alongside, plus the autopilot
(with a third joystick optional in the aft cockpit).
In addition, our review boat also had a bow
thruster, which was merited given the windage
and displacement of the Prestige 590.
The 590 is the first to offer the company's own
digital bus system named Ship Control.
