Prestige 680 Review (2017 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Beginning the tour on the yacht's hi-lo platform, which has the ability to lower into the water, turn into steps and provide an elegant method of launching and retrieving a tender.

Moving up to the cockpit, which is found to be spacious and features a seating area, an exterior TV and a retractable blind that offers privacy from the quay when stern-to berthed. Further of note here is the stern docking station, which is equipped with bow thruster control and an IPS joystick.

On the flybridge, a seating area with a bar, a grill, an ice maker, and a fridge can be found along with an upper helm position. The seating is designed to cater to different scenarios, whether the boat is stationary or underway. The presence of sunbeds and the hardtop with an opening section are also highlighted.

The yacht's foredeck provides sun pads, a seating area, and a music system, with an abundance of speakers installed throughout the Prestige 680.

Upon entering the yacht, you are greeted by the galley, which is equipped with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, cooking appliances, and a snug seating area just inside the door. The spot is very cozy, which allows for a view out of the back of the boat while sitting in a climate-controlled environment.

Advancing into the saloon, there is an adjustable table that can be expanded for dining or used as a coffee table. There are dual entrances to the lower deck, leading to the guest accommodation, one for the owner's cabin and the other leading to three guest cabins.  There are two mirrored twin cabins, which are suitable for both adults and children, with note to their ample space and storage. These cabins share a bathroom equipped with a toilet, sink, and shower.

The VIP cabin rivals the owner's cabin due to its impressive size and amenities, including a dressing area, hanging lockers, and an en suite bathroom with a shower. Thoughtful touches are included like a dressing table and a large walk-in wardrobe.

The owner's cabin, which is accessible through a separate staircase, is impressive with a palatial feel and private location. The cabin features blinds for privacy, ample storage, a cozy seating area by the window, and en suite bathroom with a shower.

There is a convenient switch panel for the boat's batteries close to the lower helm, which includes a door to the side deck. Features here include a retractable TV and multiple Raymarine screens and IPS controls.

The Prestige 680 features a twin crew cabin with its own bathroom and laundry facilities accessed via the bathing platform. This area could also be used by guests.

The engine compartment houses twin Volvo Penta IPS-1200, 900 hp engines that provide the yacht with a top speed of 30 knots and a cruising speed in the mid-20s. Also featured are a generator and a Seakeeper stabilization unit.
