Our Take

This 2013 Prestige 550S represents a thoughtfully equipped express sport yacht built for serious cruising and comfortable living at sea. The 58.67-foot Prestige delivers the performance and layout flexibility that distinguish the 550S platform—a single-level, open-plan salon with a wide opening to the cockpit, retractable roof system, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow that works equally well in warm-weather cruising or cooler climates where weather protection matters.

Twin Cummins CMS QSC 8.3L diesel engines rated at 600 horsepower each drive Zeus pod propulsion with Joystick control, enabling smooth docking and precise maneuvering in tight quarters. Cruising speed reaches 24 knots with a maximum speed of 30 knots, while the 581-gallon fuel capacity and 211-gallon water capacity support extended offshore passages. A Cummins Onan generator supplies onboard electrical power, and a watermaker provides fresh water production for longer time away from shore.

Stability and comfort underway are enhanced by a SeaKeeper 6 gyroscopic stabilizer, which reduces rolling motion both at anchor and while cruising. The climate control system has been upgraded from its original single chiller configuration to dual chillers with five total air handler units throughout the vessel, ensuring consistent temperature control across all cabins and living spaces.

The layout spans a full-beam master stateroom with a private office area and en suite head, a VIP stateroom with queen berth, and a guest stateroom with twin bunks. The galley is fully equipped with a three-burner stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, and ample storage. A washer-dryer combo provides laundry convenience during extended cruises.

Navigation and control systems include dual Raymarine multifunction displays at the interior pilot station, an aft control station for stern maneuvering, electric windlass with anchor and chain, and a bow thruster for precision handling. Radar rounds out the suite for low-visibility operation.

The expansive salon features an open design with dining area and comfortable seating, while the wide rear cockpit accommodates dining and social gatherings for up to eight guests beneath a retractable awning. A large bow sun pad and upper lounge sun pad provide outdoor relaxation spaces. The hydraulic swim platform simplifies water access.

Modern conveniences include Starlink satellite internet for reliable connectivity, electric window shades, interior and exterior accent lighting, underwater lights, a remote spotlight, and flatscreen televisions in the salon and each stateroom.

The twin Zeus pod drives were recently rebuilt, and this Prestige 550S is positioned as a fully equipped vessel ready for immediate ownership and use.

2013 Prestige 550S Sport Yacht for Sale – Fort Lauderdale
Overview
The 2013 Prestige 550S represents a thoughtfully engineered express sport yacht designed for owners who value both performance and refined cruising comfort. At 58.67 feet in length with a 15.58-foot beam, this vessel delivers the sleek, sporty profile characteristic of the Prestige brand while maintaining the practical interior volume and amenities expected in a modern motor yacht . Located in Fort Lauderdale , Florida, this 550S has been actively maintained and upgraded with several significant systems enhancements, including a SeaKeeper 6 stabilizer, dual-chiller air conditioning, watermaker, and hydraulic swim platform. The 550S concept distinguishes itself through a single-level main deck layout with a large retractable roof and wide opening to the cockpit, creating flexible indoor-outdoor living that adapts to varying weather and cruising latitudes. Unlike traditional express designs that sacrifice comfort in rough conditions, this configuration allows owners to extend their cruising season and enjoy protected, climate-controlled space when needed while maintaining the open-air appeal of a sport yacht.
Hull Design and Deck Configuration
The Prestige 550S hull combines moderate deadrise with a planing bottom designed to deliver the 30-knot maximum speed capability while maintaining a reasonable 3.67-foot draft suitable for coastal and shallow-water exploration. The 24-knot cruising speed represents an efficient operating point that balances fuel consumption with timely passage-making. Deck layout emphasizes social entertaining and relaxation across multiple zones. The bow features a spacious sun pad, ideal for lounging and sunbathing during anchorages or slow-speed cruising. An upper lounge area with an additional sun pad provides panoramic sightlines and a secondary relaxation space with elevated views. The wide rear cockpit serves as the primary entertaining hub, accommodating up to eight guests around a dining table and protected by a retractable awning that deploys for shade and weather protection. This cockpit-to-salon flow, enabled by the large opening door and retractable roof system, allows hosts to entertain across the entire main deck without traditional bulkheads dividing the space. The hydraulic swim platform at the transom simplifies water access for swimming, water sports, or tender boarding and provides a secure, stable platform for launching and retrieving equipment.
Helm and Navigation Systems
Twin Raymarine multifunction displays at the interior pilot station deliver comprehensive navigation, system monitoring, and chart-plotting capability. The dual-display setup allows the operator to dedicate one screen to navigation and the other to engine management, system diagnostics, and electronic systems monitoring—a practical configuration for extended cruising and complex waterways. The aft control station enables convenient docking and stern maneuvering, reducing the need to move the vessel in tight spaces and allowing the operator to visually align the transom during backing maneuvers. This secondary station is particularly valuable in crowded marinas or when anchoring stern-to in Mediterranean -style settings. Propulsion control is managed through Joystick command, which integrates the dual Cummins engines, bow thruster, and pod drives into a single intuitive input device. Joystick docking eliminates the traditional coordination required between throttle, shift, and steering, allowing precise lateral and rotational movements at low speed—a significant advantage in confined quarters. The electric windlass with anchor and chain simplifies ground tackle deployment and retrieval, while the bow thruster provides additional lateral control during close-quarters maneuvering. Radar onboard supports navigation and collision avoidance during low-visibility conditions, fog, or night operation.
Engine and Propulsion
Power comes from twin Cummins CMS QSC 8.3-liter diesel engines, each rated at 600 horsepower, paired with Zeus pod drives. Diesel propulsion is favored in the sport yacht and motor yacht segments for its fuel efficiency, torque characteristics, and long service intervals compared to gasoline engines. The 600-horsepower rating per engine provides adequate thrust for the vessel's size and weight while maintaining reasonable fuel consumption at cruising speeds. Zeus pod drives offer several operational advantages over traditional shaft and rudder systems: they pivot independently, improving maneuverability and reducing turning radius; they provide thrust vectoring that enhances steering response; and they integrate seamlessly with the Joystick control system, enabling intuitive docking and precision maneuvering without complex coordination between throttle and helm. The Cummins Onan generator supplies 120/240-volt electrical power for hotel loads, air conditioning, and onboard systems during anchoring or when main engines are shut down. Adequate generator capacity is essential for extended cruising comfort, particularly in warm climates where air conditioning demand is continuous. Fuel capacity of 581 gallons supports extended cruising range at economical speeds, while the 211-gallon water capacity is supplemented by an onboard watermaker, which produces fresh water from seawater. The watermaker eliminates range anxiety associated with water supply and is particularly valuable for cruising in remote areas or extended passages where shore-based water refilling may be infrequent or unavailable.
Comfort and Stabilization Systems
The SeaKeeper 6 gyroscopic stabilizer represents a significant upgrade that addresses one of the primary discomforts of offshore cruising: side-to-side rolling motion. Gyro stabilizers actively counteract vessel roll by generating opposing gyroscopic forces, resulting in dramatically reduced motion at anchor and underway in beam seas. The SeaKeeper 6 is sized for vessels in the 45- to 70-foot range and is particularly effective in the 1- to 3-knot speed range where traditional fin stabilizers lose effectiveness. Climate control has been enhanced with an upgraded air conditioning system featuring two new chillers (the original specification included one) and an additional air handler unit, bringing the total to five units throughout the vessel. This redundancy and expanded capacity ensure rapid, even cooling throughout all cabins and living spaces, a critical comfort factor in warm-weather cruising regions like South Florida and the Caribbean . The retractable roof system over the main salon allows owners to enjoy open-air ambiance during favorable weather while providing full weather protection and air-conditioned comfort when conditions warrant. This flexibility is central to the 550S design philosophy and distinguishes it from traditional express yachts that rely on fixed hardtops.
Interior Layout and Accommodations
The main deck salon features an open, single-level design with a dining area, comfortable sofa seating, and seamless visual connection to the cockpit through the large opening door. This layout prioritizes social entertaining and maximizes the sense of space, avoiding the compartmentalized feel of some traditional motor yachts. The full galley is equipped with essential provisioning infrastructure: a three-burner stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer, supported by ample cabinetry and storage. This setup supports both casual entertaining and extended cruising provisioning. The full-beam master stateroom occupies the forward portion of the lower deck and includes a private office or work area and an en suite head. The full-beam configuration maximizes the master cabin's width, creating a spacious, light-filled retreat with generous storage and the flexibility for a dedicated workspace—increasingly important for owners who maintain professional obligations while cruising. The VIP stateroom features a queen-size bed and elegant finishes, providing comfortable accommodations for guests or crew. The guest stateroom with twin bunks offers flexible sleeping arrangements for additional guests or family members. Three staterooms and multiple heads support extended cruising with guests and provide crew accommodations if desired. Throughout the interior, electric window shades offer privacy, light control, and modern convenience. Overhead and accent lighting is thoughtfully distributed across all living spaces, with underwater lights creating ambient illumination when at anchor. A flatscreen TV in the main salon and individual TVs in each stateroom provide entertainment options, while a washer/dryer combo unit eliminates the need for frequent marina laundry services during extended cruising.
Connectivity and Modern Systems
Starlink satellite internet connectivity provides reliable high-speed data access regardless of location, supporting both entertainment streaming and professional work requirements. For owners who maintain business obligations or simply wish to stay connected while cruising, satellite internet has become an essential amenity rather than a luxury upgrade. A remote spotlight enhances visibility and safety during nighttime operation, docking, and anchoring procedures.
Why This Yacht Merits Consideration
The 2013 Prestige 550S combines proven hull design, capable propulsion, and thoughtful interior planning with a series of upgrades that address common comfort and convenience concerns in sport yacht cruising. The SeaKeeper 6 stabilizer, dual-chiller air conditioning, watermaker, and Starlink connectivity reflect an owner who prioritized extended cruising capability and comfort over time. The retractable roof and open-plan salon represent a design philosophy
