With approximately 475 engine hours, this 520 offers an impressive combination of performance, comfort and owner-operator usability.
The 520 was designed around multiple distinct living areas. An open aft galley connects directly with both the cockpit and salon, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining space. Large windows surround the main deck, filling the salon with natural light and providing excellent visibility from the lower helm.
Below deck, the layout provides three generous staterooms, highlighted by a private full-beam owner's suite. Forward guest accommodations provide excellent separation for family and guests, while two heads make the 520 exceptionally comfortable for extended cruising.
Above, the XXL flybridge is one of the defining features of the Prestige 520. With a second helm station, extensive seating, sunbathing space and an outdoor galley, it provides a completely separate entertaining area with excellent visibility underway.
Whether cruising the Gulf Islands, exploring Desolation Sound or heading farther up the coast, the Prestige 520 provides the space and amenities of a substantially larger yacht while retaining the maneuverability and efficiency of Volvo IPS propulsion.
