Prestige 690 Review (2021 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Aft of the yacht, there is a hi-lo platform and steps that adapt as the platform lowers. The cockpit is showcased, noting the addition of a sunbed in place of the bench seat that was in the 680 model. Another new feature is a roll-down screen, providing privacy in the cockpit.

On the flybridge, which has been completely redesigned, the freestanding furniture and the new hardtop, which is now a standard feature, are greatly admired. The furniture here can be secured for when the boat is at sea. The flybridge also contains a barbecue area, fridge, and seating area, which is appreciated for its sociability.

There is a wonderful sunbathing area at the bow with a seat providing wide views at the front.

Inside there are upgraded finishes, including new laminates and higher quality woodwork. The dining area's position opposite the galley is much appreciated, and the practicality of the fridge-freezers, built-in dishwasher, and Miele cooking facilities are shown. 

The yacht has two access-ways to the lower deck. The forward area houses a spacious lounge and the helm, which has a side access door, a feature found to be particularly useful. The main deck master cabin, located in the boat's bow, has over two meters of headroom and a walk-in wardrobe, even that has a window, a very novel feature. The day heads has a separate shower and is quite spacious.

In the lower deck there are three cabins, making a total of four cabins on the yacht. One of these cabins is a VIP cabin. The other two cabins are twin rooms, with the option of converting them into one larger VIP cabin.

The crew area is accessed via the bathing platform. The crew area has two bunks and a separate heads with a shower.

In the spacious engine room, there is a generator and gyro stabilizer. The engines are Volvo Penta IPS-1350, allowing for a top speed of about 32 knots and a cruising speed of 23-25 knots.
