Prestige is the French brand born from Jeanneau's motor yacht experience within Groupe Beneteau.
1. Getting to Know Prestige
With its flybridge models, F-Line, X-Line and the M-Line power catamarans, it is known for designs that put volume and living space first.
It spread quickly in the Mediterranean; flybridge models are common in Turkish marinas.
2. Designed around living space
Prestige's generous interiors mean system-rich boats: generator, air-conditioning, hydraulic platform and electrical equipment. On survey each system is run and checked.
On pod-drive (IPS) models: bellows, anodes and service records; on shaft models: alignment and seals.
3. Points We Pay Attention To
These are not claims of defects. They are the places we spend extra time on boats of this make; every boat is judged on its own use and maintenance history.
Flybridge and F-Line
- Drive: checks by pod or shaft arrangement.
- Generator, air-conditioning and hydraulic platform.
- Glazing and window gaskets.
- Flybridge attachments.
X-Line and M-Line
- Sealing of large glazed areas.
- On the power catamaran, machinery and shaft/drive in both hulls.
- Electrical panel and shore connection.
4. Owning One in Turkey
Groupe Beneteau's service network makes parts and service relatively easy to reach.
Ask for the service records, invoices and any earlier survey report before the survey; work without records is noted as "could not be verified".
5. Test order on a system-heavy boat
A Prestige carries dozens of systems; testing at random means missing something. We work in a fixed order:
- On shore power: chargers, inverter, switchboard, residual-current protection.
- On the generator: air-conditioning at full capacity, water heater, galley; generator frequency and voltage under load.
- Underway: engines, drives, trim tabs, autopilot, navigation electronics.
- Back alongside: hydraulic platform, windlass, bow and stern thrusters, bilge pumps and alarms.
Each system is reported as 'working / not working / not verified'.
6. Documents to ask for before you buy
- Dealer service records; pod history on IPS models.
- Generator hours and latest service invoice.
- Records of air-conditioning compressor replacement or regassing.
- Handover file, CE declaration and warranty correspondence.
