About Prestige

Volume production

French builder of luxury motor yachts, born in 1989 out of the Jeanneau shipyard and based in Les Herbiers, France.

Prestige grew out of the Jeanneau shipyard, founded in 1957, and its first model appeared in 1989, followed by the first Prestige flybridge in 2000. A North American dealer network was set up in 2010 and by 2012 the brand had the largest dealer network in Europe. The 75-foot Prestige 750 of 2014 became the flagship, taking the 2014 World Yachts Trophies for layout and achievement and the 2015 European Power Boat of the Year; the 680 and 680 S of 2016 introduced the raised forward owner's cabin and made the 680 Motor Boat of the Year, and with the 560, 560S, 630 and 630S of 2017 the range ran from 40 to 75 feet for 4,000 owners worldwide. The 520 of 2018 became a best seller, the brand marked thirty years of yacht building in 2019, the X-Line was launched in 2020, the 690 became the F-Line flagship in 2021, the M-Line catamarans arrived in 2022 and the F4.9 and M8 in 2023.
