Prestige 590 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 590 delivers speeds of up to 29 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: feature-packed flybridge yacht, privately accessed owner's stateroom, 30-knot performance, bright open galley aft deck salon and three cabins.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Prestige 590 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Fairline 58 and Gulf Craft 62 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 590 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout. The Gulf Craft Majesty 62 M is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Prestige 590 delivers a steady 21 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Fairline 58 with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots or the Ferretti Yachts 550 with a respectable cruising speed of 26 knots. The Prestige 590 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 62, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Maritimo M59 impresses with its extensive range of 1,125 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 560 Fly allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Ferretti Yachts 550 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Fairline 58 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 34 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Prestige 590 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
