Prestige

Prestige is a French motor yacht brand and boat builder within Groupe Beneteau. Its production is centered in Les Herbiers, Vendée, France, with additional manufacturing capacity in Monfalcone, Italy. The brand builds production yachts for private owners, with a focus on flybridge, sports yacht, and multihull models.

Prestige was launched in 1989 as a luxury motor yacht line within the Jeanneau group and later became a separate brand under Groupe Beneteau. The brand’s main shipyard is in Les Herbiers, France, in the Vendée region, where design and construction remain based. Prestige also uses a facility in Monfalcone, Italy, to support production. Company material describes the yard in Les Herbiers as the heart of Prestige’s savoir-faire and notes that the brand draws on French and Italian design and engineering.

Prestige’s current range is organized into multiple lines, including flybridge, sport-oriented, and multihull yachts. Public listings show models such as the M48, 460 Fly, and 500 Fly, while broker and brand information places the brand’s production yachts broadly in the 40- to 75-foot class. Prestige is known for wide interior layouts, private owner spaces, and extensive use of pod propulsion on many models. The builder’s published material emphasizes comfort, handling, and efficient onboard living rather than custom one-off construction.
