Prestige Yachts

Prestige Yachts, originally a product line of Jeanneau, was established in 1989 in Vendée, France. Vittorio and Camillo Garroni, Italian naval designers, collaborated with a French designer to create the international Prestige brand. A diverse team leads Prestige in its continual quest for quality: French engineers, an Italian design cabinet, American and Swedish engine manufacturers, and an American naval architect.

To meet the needs of a passionate audience, Prestige has built its brand’s success on a few basic concepts: all living spaces on one level, 360-degree panoramic views, and an independent owner’s suite. With seaworthiness being a top priority for Prestige, it invests in premium technology, such as CATIA CAO design software, which allows the design team to examine, combine, and upstream all in 3D. Moving towards creating models in the 70-foot range, Prestige has manufactured over 2,500 motor yachts within three model lines: Flybridge, Express, and Sport Top.
