Verdict
The Prestige 390S is a well-proportioned sport cruiser with a practical two-cabin layout, strong twin-320hp performance and solid build credentials. Its main trade-offs are limited day capacity in this listing, modest onboard tankage for longer stays, and a model-year/specification spread that varies across public sour
Pros
- +Twin 320 hp diesels deliver brisk cruising and a top speed around 34.7 knots
- +Two-cabin layout with 4 berths suits couples or small families
- +Fuel capacity of 243 US gal gives respectable coastal range
- +Air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, autopilot and GPS improve comfort and usability
Cons
- −Day guest capacity is not clearly documented in public listings
- −Bathroom count is unclear in the provided data
- −Length and builder details vary across sources
- −Tankage is adequate but not large for extended off-grid cruising
The Prestige 390S is a sporty express cruiser with a balanced profile and GRP construction, typically listed at about 39.1 ft overall length and built in 2011. Public sources are consistent on the core concept: a compact two-cabin yacht with a bright saloon and a layout aimed at private use rather than large-group chartering.
On the water, the twin Cummins 320 hp diesels give the boat strong midrange pace and confident planing performance. Reported cruising speed is around 26 knots, with a top speed near 34.7 knots, which makes it a capable coastal cruiser. Handling should be straightforward for its class thanks to autopilot and GPS, though buyers should still expect the usual stern-drive sensitivity to trim, load, and sea state.
Comfort is a clear strength for a boat of this size. The two cabins and four berths create a usable overnight platform, while air conditioning and Wi‑Fi add real charter and owner appeal. The trade-off is that the available public listings do not clearly define day capacity, and the fuel and water capacities are not especially generous for longer independent passages.
In value terms, the 390S sits in a sensible middle ground: attractive performance, recognizable branding, and practical accommodation, but not the most spacious or best-documented option in the segment. It is best suited to buyers or charter operators who prioritize sporty cruising and a premium feel over maximum interior volume.
