Prestige 590S (2019 - 2024) 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 590S delivers speeds of up to 29 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: smart sportsbridge design, three separate deck areas, private owner's suite + two guest cabins and bright open deck salon with sunroof.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Prestige 590S which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Galeon 650 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 590S features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Princess S60 and Galeon 560 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Prestige 590S delivers a steady 23 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess S60 with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots or the Beneteau Yachts 6S with a respectable cruising speed of 26 knots. The Prestige 590S 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 Galeon 650 and Galeon 560 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess S60 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Prestige 590S 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.
