I have the 500 fly with the hydraulic platform extension, with the same engines and I believe, the same hull.
This is a heavy boat with rather small engines. So in real life you should expect to see 18-19 knots at 3000 RPM, burning 130 LPH. Real life meaning 6-7 people on board, a 200+ Kg dinghy or PWC, 3/4 full tanks, water maker and washing machines and all the paraphernalia to live on board and enjoy life on the water. Crew cabin is also very useful as an extra sleeping space for a teenager.
Handling is solid, not sporty by any means, but you will be comfortable and safe, and on hot summer days you can run the boat from the air conditioned lower helm.
Maneuvering in a marina, in windy conditions, can be challenging. Despite the big volumes, this is a relatively light boat (low inertia), with lots of windage. The IPS and Thruster come handy, yet you need to anticipate, work with the momentum (don’t let the boat stall), and use positive inputs.
At anchor or at the dock, this is a floating house with all the comforts you have at home. And if you have time and can settle for lower speeds, say 10 knots, consumption drops dramatically ( about 40 LPH). If you just want to do island hopping in Greece for example, and you have a water maker, you can be autonomous for weeks, without refueling.
Greek Summers thank you! Real customers reviews are so much more helpful!
FreedomForce100 To me the only question really on this boat was the hull, which is all balsa cored, except in the areas of the IPS pods and the through hulls. It is not a question of strength, it is mostly a question of durability, and more importantly osmosis, since you don’t want this core to get wet and rotten. They use vinylester resin, which is much less permeable over time, but it is important to keep your eyes open for stress cracks and blisters.
What you get in return is a boat with nearly half the weight of a solid GRP boat, which means economy, but also better insulation and probably rigidity.
For the rest, the quality of the interior, and the fit and finish, are outstanding. Two years and 2000 NM after commissioning, there are no leaks or squeaks, and there will not be any, since Jeanneau has very long experience with sailing boats, where fit and finish is of paramount importance, or you end up having a noisy and squeaky boat.
A well equipped boat will have all kitchen appliances including a dishwasher, a washer dryer (under the steps to the forward cabins), barbecue and fridge on the fly bridge, air conditioning, ice maker... A water maker is a must have, since you can spend weeks at anchor simply because the boat is so comfortable. A good tender will also give you great mobility for dinners and provisioning, and play time with your kids or guests. All you really need is the time to enjoy it.
Finally, on my comment on the windy conditions. The joystick can be a trap for inexperienced seamen. It will not hold this boat in cross winds exceeding 15 Kn, even in the high power mode. Nothing dramatic, but training yourself on handling a twin engine boat the old way (center rudder /asymmetric throttle), will give you more confidence in close quarters, when you are dealing with strong cross winds.
Greek Summers this is awesome info. You need a youtube channel of a blog! Thanks for sharing... thumb up!
I want to buy the same boat to spend my holidays in Greece, with harbor in Preveza. Thanks for your hints!
Great input! That’s exactly what I’m shopping for (island hopping in greece, max comfort safety and economy! Not speed, not a party barge!) thanks for the insight
"This. And that." The cameraman doesn't even bother showing us what the young man is talking about. Dude, I get it. You have the camera on your fancy gimble and it's difficult to pan and tilt around quickly. But the whole point is to show us the boat.
So true. This is not a good movie
At 1.05 if you open the crew cabin, the cameraman should record the crew cabin.
And also not point the camera into the sun!
one4all agreed
They always shoot the presenter instead of the boat itself. I do not get it.
Hmmmm. Lifts seat, describes a cabin/berth, that we don't get to see?!
Agreed why not pan the camera & show it??
Hi guys, this 24 hour coverage is a much better format for us as prospective buyers. It gives us a feel for living on the boat and real issues out at sea.
Some things we would like to see:
1. More emphasis needs to be on the boat though and less on the presenter. Train the camera guy to point his/her camera at the object the presenter is talking about and not the presenter. We are buying the boat, not the presenter.
2. I should also add that we have a significant other(s) who will be part of the purchasing decision making process ... so given that you have 24 hours you should also show more detail, like storage in the galley, fridges, dishwashers etc and ditto for saloon, fly bridge, master room and so on.
What have they done to secure crockery underway? Do the surfaces allow for glasses not to slide off tables underway or at anchor. Are there cooking rails on the stove to stop pots sliding off the cook tops onto the floor?
Boating is surely more than a hull and an engine!!
3. It would be good to see setting up anchoring overnight; how you choose the anchorage spot by using the charting system on board. Then you can also cover the anchoring system from the deck and show us what thinking the manufacturer has put into its windlass system, quality of cleats etc. and storage for fenders, ropes, taps etc.
4. Also a growing market is couples without crew, so you should show us all the new technology to help make boating easier especially for anchoring, navigation and docking. This will open up a whole new market for manufacturers if you can remove those boating fears.
5. What's on board for entertainment eg music systems and where they are located; fly bridge, saloon etc. Are there any TV's, beach clubs, tender garages etc.
And, if there is a tender garage then open it so we can see it ... and even launch the dinghy so we can see how easy or not easy it is and how much thought the manufacturer has put into the tender launching systems, including retrieval.
Is there also space in the tender garage/lazarette for surf boards, kayaks, jet skis, stand up paddle boards etc.
Is there a passerrelle hidden under the stairs for the kids to dive off?
Any BBQ's, ice makers ... and open the doors so we can see them.
You need to bring us into the lifestyle of boating, not just talk about engine rooms etc. I personally couldn't give a toss about the engines. If it does 25 knots and has a range of X that's all I need to know. I will pick the engines that can deliver the performance I want.
It's like the car salesman at a Lambo shop who opens the bonnet to show you the engine. My first question is: "Can it go from 0-100 kms/hr in under 3 seconds?" Yes, it can. Good, I don't need to see the engine then ... it does what I want it to do.
You guys know all this boating "stuff" and take it for granted because you have a lot of experience, so you are only appealing to seasoned boaters when you present. You are failing to capture:
(a) New people to boating who are holding back on taking that purchasing step, because they feel it's all too hard for the inexperienced.
(b) People unfamiliar with the brand of boat.
(c) Not telling us about the USP (unique selling proposition) of the brand you are showing ... what clever things has the manufacturer thought of that other manufacturers have not ... or what they do better ... after sales service etc.
This means you need to show how easy it is to navigate, auto pilot, joysticks for docking and IPS for maneuverability that makes docking easy, virtual anchoring, remote docking equipment ... all the things that assist the couples market without a crew ... and therefore save on running costs.
What about powering the boat? Does it have solar power, battery storage. Are there back-up systems ... remove our fears ... please.
Wtf
Strongly disagree there, there is a clear difference between maintaining and owning a car and a boat. Engine rooms are vital for the proper service and maintenance of a boat, compared to a car engine which you only need to service once in a while. Daily checks and cleaning are properly needed on boats like these if you want them to last, why would you ask them to get rid of them? Experienced boaters need to know this kind of stuff. furthermore, a boats performance is so much more than just top speed and acceleration. Seakeeping ability and range at different speeds is so much more important.
This is also not a first boat that you should be looking at, inexperienced people should not be looking at this boat. Obviously general knowledge of boating should be vital in owning something like this, and with that most people know the general systems to make docking easier. E.g- he mentioned they were “ips engines.” Meaning they are pod drive and have a joystick, making docking easier. Anyone vaguely entering boating should know this, and there are plenty of examples out there on the internet
TLDR- people new to boating should NOT be looking at a boat like this, this salesman is clearing gearing towards the people who are more likely to buy it, experienced people who care about the important things (engine room etc.)
Jack, as usual, you give a comprehensive look at a boat from your perspective. I've seen scores of your videos and have never been disappointed. Great job! Fair winds!
I have to be honest. Every time I watch this guys reviews I feel they are being done as quick as possible. No soul or feeling to them. I watch Nick Burnham in his reviews and they are so much better and interesting. On here and especially on his own channel called Aquaholic. It just feels like he loves and dreams boats where this guy is going through the motions.
Guys!!! Please show much more of each yacht than always the moderator!!! Crew cabin enttance ZERO! Moderator 95% full screen!!! I saw massiv bunch of videos but always the same! We wanne check out the yachts on priority 1! Moderator is not that important & that beauty the yachts are! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!🙏🏻🙈🍾🆘

"We're gonna sleep onboard" = "We don't work much"
"Use the bathrooms" = "Take a shit"
"Use the galley" = "Get pissed"
"Eat onboard tomorrow" = "Fill our pie holes"
I love these "24 hour on the..." videos, think you'd do well to do a lot more of them.
I'd also really like to see one for the Aquila 44.
Very nice boat but greatly surprised the master cabin has only has a double bed. And the main deck TV is very small and in an awkward spot.
Would you choose a Swift Trawler 47 or this Prestige 520?
Dire camerawork.
Proved to be a very capable package. Is that the boat or Jack?
Two minutes in and i`m already sick of seeing the nice young man presenting and not the boat. Either ignore him more and show the features described or let Nick Burnham do the walk throughs. Saying that, I do appreciate the reviews you guys do in general
Greek Summer called it. Noticed this boat in another review and though the performance is not up to par with the 435 600 IPS package. She is under powered and performs like a bit of a slug, and that's with no load in good conditions. Fully loaded with gear, water, fuel, crew, headwinds etc she must be real dog.
I feel like Jack’s pointing out things on the boat and the camera stays on Jack! Yes, the camera work, photography and sound are undeniably better but I would like to see more yacht and less Jack - despite him being an handsome fella!
What, the fat guy wearing last centuries T shirt lol
mhappy01 I see that sensing sarcasm is not your best feature...
maybe, but i just wanted to be rude ;-) (an before H - really?-)
Hey! I like that T-shirt... :-(. JH
haha - a fashionista! Didn't think it would be the T shirt that provoked a response ;-) Now where are we on ditching the camera style and getting back too boat reviews?
A clearly compromised boat in terms of power plant and quality but represents good value for money. I’d always go for something a little smaller but properly powered and built to a higher standard personally
How about showing us what he's actually talking about... rather than focusing on him...? Shit camera work....
Good commentary.
Head room?
Need a new cameraman!
At 5:00, what is that silver yacht with all the stairs?!?! Looks beautiful!!
That's a Rodriquez, you can charter one of them for €90k per week: www.bernard-gallay.com/yacht-charter/ocean-sapphire
"This cabin's ensuite is the only bathroom down here and it's shared with the twin guest cabin." If it's a shared head and not "inside" the cabin, it's not ensuite now, is it? Call it what it is: A HEAD.
Entrance Master cabin exakt the same😡Huge windows? Can‘t see them but again the mod...hope u got my point!!! Please show YACHT DETAILS!!! Stairs, lights, windows, the important stuff 4 potential buyers! Dry guys...
I feel like a lot of corners were cut designing this. From the uncomfortable cushions on the bridge to the overall layout and handling characteristics and limited performance on water. A bit disappointing if you're about to drop a mill plus on a small motor boat
Giggidygiggidy12 Not at all. In reality it is really worth it! Prestige are in my eyes the most practical and elegant boats. It is really wort a mill! This boat has really everything! And they’re not uncomfortable!
It is substantially cheaper than a comparable Princess or Sunseeker. Yes, you can say the fit and finish is not up to Princess or Sunseeker levels, but that is only a slight negative compare to the overall bang for your buck that you get. The advantage of Prestige is that it really maximize the available space in a tight package. The amount of space available is really impressive considering its only 52 feet long. I especially like the separate entrance to the master bedroom. That is something Princess or Sunseeker does not have for the same size of boat.
And at 52 feet it is just the right size, large enough to have an extra room (3 in total) but small enough to manage on your own. As for handling, again, not up to Princess levels, but it handles most sea conditions fine and doesn't pound excessively.
Here we go again, describes the crew cabin but fails to use the gyro stabilized camera to show us... but at least we get some lovely flare shots /-( This must be the same cameraman the other guy uses.
What about the princess compared to this?
Its much much nicer in all respects.. Pricier though.
Just to clarify. I meant the Princess is nicer..
Thank you
Not at all😂
Dude lost some weight. Good for him.
really???
C'est mal filmé dommage
Contini, chanivaz 23. Auguro a elhenn che non so chi è, una vita divertente. Ciao di CUORE . (Perdon se mi sono impicciato di fatti che non so'. Ma è successo qualche inconveniente o diciamo casualità. ). Divertiti ragazza mia. Salutami mamma e PAPA'
5:01 What is that gorgeous grey beaut!?
That's one of the Rodriquez Ocean superyacht series, hard to tell which one, but they charter for around €100k a week: www.superyachtsmonaco.com/charter/ocean-sapphire
Nice review as ever, all I can say is; It's nowhere near as good as a Princess
A Princess is £200k more.
Sorry to repeat other comments but your videos seem to be getting worse, it’s a very poor effort, you need to sort it out, can’t really believe you put this out, did anyone watch it before posting ?
Captains door? Cant see? VIP Cabin? Only mod in the middle of the door?....ok i try to watch to the end but badest material 4 long. Constructive critism based on facts guys! Check out other chanels & get better😖
