Our Thoughts

The 2023 Prestige 520S is a purpose-built European motor yacht that combines Italian design sophistication with genuine offshore capability. At 52.83 feet with a 14.75-foot beam, this is a full-featured cruising platform engineered for serious distance work, not a styling exercise.

Propulsion & Performance

Twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesel engines deliver the kind of redundancy and efficiency that matter on extended passages. With only 150 hours on the twin-engine package, you're looking at a yacht that's been used thoughtfully. The IPS system—featuring electronic joystick maneuvering, electronic power steering, and single-lever cruise control with integrated trim and low-speed functions—transforms handling in confined waters while the Nibral twin props and bronze seawater strainers address corrosion concerns in saltwater service. Cruising speed is 23 knots, with a maximum speed of 29 knots. The dual aluminum fuel tanks (343 gallons total capacity with crossover and interconnection valves) support extended range, while the 168-gallon freshwater capacity and 78,000 BTU chilled water air conditioning system with reverse-cycle heating make blue-water cruising realistic.

Interior Layout & Accommodations

The 520S is configured with three full staterooms and two heads, plus an optional crew cabin—a layout that scales from couple cruising to family or charter operation. The master stateroom features a full-beam layout with private stairway access, a double berth (6'6" × 5'2"), panoramic side windows with opening ports, a dedicated ensuite with separate shower, and substantial storage throughout. The VIP stateroom mirrors the sophistication with a convertible berth arrangement (6'6" × 5'1"), skylight with opening hatch, ensuite bathroom, and large side windows. A third guest stateroom with convertible berths (6'3" × 2'4") and dedicated cabin access rounds out sleeping quarters. The optional crew accommodation features a single berth with dedicated head, shower, and transom access—practical for charter or delivery operations.

Interior finishes reflect the Prestige brand's European heritage: White Oak woodwork throughout, Dolce leatherette upholstery at the helm seats, Corian countertops in both galley and en suite bathrooms, and Fortezza flooring on the main deck. The saloon features a U-shaped sofa, varnished table on stainless steel base, and side windows with pleated blinds. Handrails are wrapped in hand-stitched Foglizzo leather. Removable carpet sets in each cabin allow for seasonal maintenance.

Galley, Galley Island & Provisioning

The galley is equipped for serious cruising: a 3-zone induction cooktop, combination microwave/grill, stainless steel sink with pull-out sprayer, dual-voltage fridge (47 US gallons), and dual-voltage freezer (11 US gallons). A dedicated galley island provides additional counter space and storage, with grey lacquer cabinetry and integrated waste management.

Helm & Navigation

Twin helm sport seats flank a full console with engine throttles, maneuvering joystick, full engine instrumentation, compass, and cup holders. Windscreen wipers with intermittent setting, demister, and washers are standard. The helm features a battery crossover switch and tactile graphic display for battery levels, AC sources, lighting, and tank levels

2023 Prestige 520S: Premium Motor Yacht with Twin Volvo IPS Diesel Power
The 2023 Prestige 520S represents a refined approach to mid-size motor yacht design, combining European engineering with practical cruising capability and generous interior volume. Located in Buford, Georgia, this 52-foot vessel integrates sophisticated helm systems, multiple stateroom accommodations, and premium comfort features into a sporty-chic profile built around a powerful, fuel-efficient hull design.
Overview and Design Philosophy
The Prestige 520S is engineered as a full-featured cruising motor yacht rather than a specialized fishing or performance platform. Its design philosophy emphasizes balance between capable performance and livable interior space, targeting owners who prioritize extended cruising comfort, entertaining capability, and ease of handling. The vessel measures 52.83 feet in length overall with a 14.75-foot beam, providing a generous footprint while maintaining manageable proportions for single or dual-crew operation. The hull construction employs infused GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) with longitudinal infused stringers, delivering structural rigidity and durability. The matching infused GRP deck features counter molding, while isophthalic gelcoat and an osmosis barrier protect the hull from moisture intrusion and degradation over time. This construction methodology is typical of modern European production yachts and supports both strength and longevity.
Power and Propulsion
Twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesel engines provide the primary propulsion system. With only 150 hours of operation since launch, these engines remain well within their break-in phase. The IPS (Inboard Performance System) architecture integrates the engines with a joystick maneuvering system, electronic power steering, and electronic engine controls accessible from each helm station. This setup reduces operator fatigue during extended cruising and simplifies docking procedures in tight quarters. The vessel achieves a cruising speed of 23 knots and a maximum speed of 29 knots, placing it in the moderate-performance category for its size. Fuel capacity of 343 gallons supports extended range at cruising speed, while the 168-gallon freshwater capacity accommodates extended passages without frequent refilling. The dual aluminum fuel tanks include interconnection valves and separate port and starboard fuel fills with a crossover valve, allowing balanced fuel consumption and flexibility in fuel management.
Helm and Maneuvering Systems
The IPS joystick system provides intuitive directional control without traditional dual-lever throttle operation. Twin helm sport seats upholstered in Dolce and Mineral grey leatherette position the operator and co-pilot for optimal visibility and control access. The helm console integrates engine throttles, the joystick controller, full engine instrumentation, a compass, and cup holders within easy reach. Supporting systems include windscreen wipers with intermittent settings and washers, a windscreen demister, and a horn. The helm station features a tactile graphic display indicating battery levels, AC sources, lighting status, and tank levels—critical information for understanding vessel systems at a glance. Remote battery switches positioned at the helm allow quick power management without accessing the electrical compartment. A second helm station is not mentioned in the specifications, indicating this vessel is configured as a single-station operation, typical for cruising motor yachts where the pilothouse serves as the primary control point.
Topside Design and Deck Features
The foredeck includes a sunpad area for relaxation and forward observation. Deck hardware comprises stainless steel cleats (10 total), handrails, and a rubrail for safety and aesthetics. The anchor system features a stainless steel stem head fitting with anchor roller and an electric windlass controlled by a wired remote located in the anchor locker. Chain counter and windlass controls are duplicated at the helm, allowing anchor management from the pilothouse during arrival and departure. The bathing platform at the transom is laid with teak and equipped with hot and cold shower facilities and a stainless steel bathing ladder, supporting water-based recreation and crew comfort. A transom safety gate and lateral door in the coaming provide secure access to the platform while maintaining cockpit safety. The enclosed hardtop features an opening electric GRP roof with integrated windows and shades, creating a sheltered cockpit environment that can be opened to natural light and ventilation. This design is particularly valuable in regions with variable weather, allowing the operator to adjust the environment to current conditions.
Cockpit and Social Spaces
An L-shaped seating area with teak-laid flooring defines the cockpit, providing comfortable seating for crew and guests during underway passages or at-anchor relaxation. Two marine stereo speakers and overhead LED lighting with courtesy lighting create an inviting atmosphere for evening entertaining. An access hatch with gas struts leads to the engine room, allowing inspection and maintenance without requiring exterior access. The saloon features U-shaped sofa seating arranged around a varnished table on a stainless steel base, creating a social hub for dining and conversation. A sliding lateral door to starboard opens the saloon to the cockpit, expanding the usable entertaining space during good weather. Side window pleated blinds control natural light, while handrails with hand-stitched Foglizzo leather wraps provide secure movement throughout the space. Fortezza flooring throughout the maindeck offers durability and aesthetic continuity. An upgraded sound system installed in July 2024 by AVC Marine includes a Radio/CD/MP3 with Bluetooth capability in the saloon, supported by two stereo speakers, enabling music streaming from personal devices or traditional media sources.
Galley and Provisioning
The galley is equipped for serious cruising and entertaining. A stainless steel sink with a mixing tap and pull-out sprayer supports dishwashing and food preparation. A combination microwave and grill unit handles reheating and cooking tasks, while a three-zone induction cooktop provides precise temperature control for multiple dishes simultaneously. The Venaro White Corian countertop offers a durable, easy-to-clean work surface. Refrigeration comprises a dual-voltage fridge (178 liters / 47 US gallons) and a matching dual-voltage freezer (42 liters / 11 US gallons), allowing extended provisioning without frequent resupply. A galley island with storage and grey lacquer doors maximizes functional workspace while providing additional storage capacity for provisions, cookware, and supplies. A waste bin and multiple storage drawers and cupboards round out the galley's practical design.
Accommodation and Stateroom Layout
The 520S provides sleeping accommodation for up to six people across three staterooms, with two full en suite bathrooms and an optional crew cabin with an additional head. This configuration supports extended family cruising or entertaining guests over multiple days. Master Stateroom: The full-beam master cabin features a private stairway entrance, creating a sanctuary separated from guest and crew traffic.

Panoramic side windows with blinds and opening ports flood the cabin with natural light and fresh air.
