2017 Prestige 560 Flybridge Yacht for Sale – Luxury Motor Yacht in Huntington Beach, California
Overview
The 2017 Prestige 560 stands as a refined expression of European-inspired motor yacht design, combining the proven engineering of Italian naval architecture with the performance demands of modern cruising and entertaining. At 56 feet in length with a 15.58-foot beam, this fiberglass flybridge yacht represents the midsize luxury segment—substantial enough to deliver serious offshore capability and interior volume, yet nimble enough for coastal exploration and secure mooring in premium marinas. Powered by twin Cummins QSC 8.3 HO inboard engines rated at 600 horsepower each, the 560 achieves a cruising speed of 24 knots with a maximum speed of 30 knots, translating to genuine transatlantic range paired with responsive helm dynamics. With only 350 hours of engine operation recorded, this vessel presents the rare opportunity to acquire a premium motor yacht with minimal wear on its propulsion systems—a significant advantage in terms of reliability, service intervals, and long-term ownership economics. The Prestige 560 Flybridge is fundamentally designed for owners who prioritize both the leisurely pace of extended cruising and the capability to reach distant destinations efficiently. The dual-level layout—main deck with full-beam saloon and galley forward, flybridge above—creates a distinctive silhouette and distributes living and entertaining spaces across multiple environments, a hallmark of sophisticated European yacht design. Located in Huntington Beach, California, this vessel is positioned in one of Southern California's premier boating communities, offering direct Pacific access and proximity to the Channel Islands and Mexican coastlines.
Hull Design and Naval Architecture
The Prestige 560's modified vee hull is engineered to balance several competing demands: seaworthiness in variable sea states, fuel efficiency at cruising speeds, and the stability required for a full-displacement cruising profile. The vee configuration forward transitions to a more moderate deadrise aft, a design philosophy that reduces pounding in head seas while maintaining buoyancy and lateral stability when anchored or operating in beam seas. With a draft of 3.67 feet, the 560 achieves a practical compromise between interior headroom and the ability to access shallower anchorages and river systems—a meaningful advantage for cruising grounds that include the Pacific Northwest, the Sea of Cortez, and the California coast. Fiberglass construction throughout the hull, superstructure, and deck provides the durability and low-maintenance characteristics expected in a vessel of this caliber. The modified vee hull form, combined with the 15.58-foot beam, generates a length-to-beam ratio of approximately 3.6:1, a proportion that supports both directional stability underway and comfortable motion characteristics at cruising speeds.
Propulsion and Performance
Twin Cummins QSC 8.3 HO inboard diesel engines form the mechanical heart of the 560. The QSC 8.3 HO designation indicates a high-output variant of Cummins' proven mid-range marine diesel line, each producing 600 horsepower. These engines are renowned for durability, parts availability, and the ability to sustain high utilization hours without degradation—critical attributes for owners planning extended offshore passages or frequent seasonal cruising. At 24 knots cruising speed, the 560 consumes fuel at a measured rate compatible with 580-gallon fuel capacity, supporting a realistic range of 500+ nautical miles between refueling—sufficient for multi-day passages along the California and Mexican coasts. The 30-knot maximum speed provides the option for faster transits or spirited day runs, though owners typically operate at or slightly below cruising speed to optimize fuel economy and minimize wear on the propulsion train. The recorded 350 engine hours represent approximately 15 seasonal cruising years at typical usage patterns, suggesting that the original owners prioritized quality over quantity in their boating lifestyle. This low-hour history is a material advantage: the engines remain well within factory service intervals, hydraulic systems show minimal degradation, and the likelihood of unexpected mechanical intervention is substantially reduced compared to higher-hour vessels of the same age.
Helm and Maneuvering Systems
The inclusion of joystick control represents a significant upgrade to the helm experience aboard the 560. Joystick steering and thrust integration allow single-handed operation of both rudder and engines, enabling the helmsman to pivot the vessel, move laterally, or execute complex docking maneuvers without the physical exertion required by traditional dual-helm-station wheel steering. On a 56-foot vessel with the mass and inertia of the 560, joystick control transforms dock operations and confined-water maneuvering from a demanding choreography into an intuitive, precise exercise. The joystick system integrates with the twin inboard engines, allowing proportional thrust vectoring and synchronized rudder inputs. This capability is particularly valuable during single-handed operation, when anchoring in tight anchorages, or when executing precision approaches to fuel docks and marina berths. For owners who prioritize seamless helm ergonomics and reduced fatigue during extended cruising, joystick control is a meaningful quality-of-life enhancement.
Accommodation and Interior Layout
The Prestige 560 Flybridge accommodates up to eight guests across four separate cabins, supported by three full heads—a layout that reflects the yacht's dual purpose as both a family cruising platform and an entertainer's floating residence. The four-cabin configuration typically comprises a full-beam master suite amidships, a forward VIP cabin, and two additional guest cabins, though the specific layout of this vessel should be confirmed during viewing. The master cabin on a 560-class yacht typically spans the full beam and incorporates an ensuite head with shower, providing privacy and comfort equivalent to a luxury resort suite. Forward cabins benefit from the natural light and ventilation of the bow structure, while aft cabins maintain proximity to the saloon and galley for convenient guest service. Three heads distributed throughout the yacht eliminate the bottleneck of shared facilities during multi-guest cruises. This redundancy is particularly valuable during extended flotilla cruising or when hosting multiple families, as it reduces morning logistics and increases overall comfort during weeks-long passages.
Saloon, Galley, and Entertaining Spaces
The main deck saloon of the Prestige 560 is characteristically arranged with the galley forward and the dining/entertaining area aft, positioned to capture natural light through substantial windows and provide visual connection to the cockpit and exterior spaces. This layout encourages natural traffic flow and allows the galley operator to remain engaged with guests while preparing meals—a design principle that distinguishes modern European yachts from older American sportfish designs. The galley is equipped for serious provisioning and meal preparation, supporting multi-week cruises without resort dependence. Refrigeration, stove, oven, and counter space are proportioned for a full-time cruising lifestyle, not merely weekend entertaining. The saloon dining area typically accommodates eight to ten guests at a formal table, with additional seating at a salon bar or casual lounge configuration. This flexibility allows the space to function as an intimate dinner venue, a social gathering point, or a quiet retreat depending on the owner's preference and guest count.
Flybridge and Upper Deck
The flybridge represents the signature design element of the Prestige 560, offering a secondary helm station and expansive entertaining platform. The flybridge helm position provides 360-degree visibility, unobstructed sightlines to the horizon, and a commanding vantage point for navigation—advantages that make extended cruising more engaging and situational awareness more intuitive. The aft portion of the flybridge functions as an open-air lounge and dining area, protected from direct sun by a hardtop structure and furnished with comfortable seating. This space is ideal for morning coffee, sunset entertaining, or casual conversation while anchored. The flybridge galley—typically a beverage station with refrigeration and limited food preparation—supports daytime entertaining without requiring trips to the main deck galley.
Fuel and Water Systems
The 580-gallon fuel capacity, combined with the twin Cummins engines' efficiency at cruising speed, supports realistic range calculations of 500+ nautical miles. For owners planning transatlantic or extended Pacific passages, this range is sufficient for multi-day legs between fuel stops, with appropriate weather routing and sea state planning. The 210-gallon fresh water capacity supports extended cruising without daily resort dependence, assuming modest consumption patterns and supplementary water-maker operation (if installed). For a four-cabin yacht hosting multiple guests, water capacity becomes a practical consideration; owners typically operate with disciplined consumption practices or invest in water-maker systems to extend autonomy.
