Avis sur le Privilege 585 Sagaponack

The Privilege 585 is a large cruising catamaran from Marc Lombard’s design lineage, with a broad beam and substantial displacement that favor stability and interior volume over racing-style performance. Public specs show a twin-keel catamaran layout, moderate draft, and a fractional sloop rig, which points to a balanced cruising platform rather than a light, high-speed multihull.[2][12][14]

On the water, this model is generally described by charter sources as cruising comfortably around 8–10 knots, with enough sail area and twin engines to handle coastal passages and docking duties without drama.[3][11][19] The tradeoff is that it will not feel especially lively compared with newer performance cats, and its weight will be noticeable in lighter air and during acceleration.[9][10][15]

Comfort is the strong suit. The Sagaponack charter setup lists four cabins, four electric heads, air conditioning, and generous guest capacity, while other charter descriptions emphasize large outdoor areas and a wide platform for social use.[1][8][16] That makes it attractive for families or charter groups that value space, privacy, and shade more than speed.

In value terms, the Privilege 585 remains appealing for buyers or charter guests who want a proven, roomy bluewater cat from a respected builder, but it is best judged as an older, system-heavy cruiser rather than a low-cost option.[1][14][19] If well maintained, it offers a strong blend of livability and passage comfort, though operating and upkeep costs should be expected to track with its size and age.
