Prestige 680S (2016 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 680S has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Layout"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 680S delivers speeds of up to 31 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Prestige 680S offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess S65 and Galeon 650, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 680S benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Prestige 630S, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Prestige 680S delivers a steady 22 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess S65 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots. The Prestige 680S 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 Prestige 630S, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 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 Galeon 650 impresses with its extensive range of 625 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 650 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess S65 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Prestige 680S 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.
