When guests step aboard the Prestige 590 for the first time, the reaction is almost always the same: they didn't expect it to feel this good.
That's not false modesty. The Prestige 590 Flybridge is a genuinely exceptional vessel — one of the most capable and comfortable motor yachts in its class — and it's the centerpiece of every private charter we run out of Fort Lauderdale. If you're considering a charter with Azure, here's what you should know about the boat you'll be spending your day on.
What the Prestige 590 Is
The Prestige 590 is a 60-foot flybridge motor yacht built by Prestige Yachts, a French manufacturer with a reputation for combining performance with livability. The 590 sits at the top of their flybridge range — a boat designed to be equally at home on a day cruise along the Intracoastal or a multi-day passage to the Bahamas.
At 60 feet, it's large enough to feel genuinely spacious — not a boat where guests are constantly navigating around each other — but nimble enough to dock cleanly in Fort Lauderdale's busy marinas and anchor in the shallower spots around the Bahamas Banks.
The Flybridge
The flybridge is the defining feature of the 590, and the reason most guests spend the majority of their charter up top.
It's a full outdoor living space: a large L-shaped seating area with a table that seats the whole group, a second helm station with 360-degree visibility, and a wet bar. On a clear Fort Lauderdale day — which describes most of them from October through April — the flybridge offers an unobstructed view of the Intracoastal, the Atlantic, and the Fort Lauderdale skyline that you simply can't get from the water's edge.
For sunset charters, the flybridge is where everyone ends up. The light from up there, with the city behind you and the horizon ahead, is something guests consistently describe as the highlight of their day.
The Main Deck and Salon
Below the flybridge, the main deck runs the full width of the boat. The aft cockpit is a proper outdoor entertaining space — comfortable seating, easy access to the swim platform, and enough room for a group to spread out without feeling crowded.
The salon is fully air-conditioned and opens directly onto the cockpit through large sliding glass doors. It's where Chef James sets up for catered meals on full-day charters, and where guests retreat when they want a break from the sun. The interior is finished in light wood and neutral fabrics — elegant without being fussy, and practical for a day on the water.
Staterooms and Overnight Capability
The 590 has two full staterooms below decks — a master with an island berth and an ensuite head, and a VIP forward cabin with its own head. Both are finished to the same standard as the salon.
For overnight charters to the Bahamas, the staterooms are genuinely comfortable. This isn't a boat where you're roughing it — the beds are proper beds, the heads are full-size, and the air conditioning runs all night. Guests who've done overnight passages on smaller boats are consistently surprised by how well they sleep.
Performance on the Water
The 590 is powered by twin Volvo IPS drives — a joystick-controlled system that makes docking and maneuvering in tight spaces significantly easier than conventional shaft drives. In practice, this means cleaner arrivals at anchorages and marinas, and a smoother experience for guests who aren't used to being on a large motor yacht.
At cruising speed, the 590 covers the 50 nautical miles to Bimini in roughly two hours on a calm day. The ride is stable — the hull design handles chop well — and the flybridge helm gives Captain Vasquez excellent visibility for navigating the Gulf Stream crossing.
Who the Prestige 590 Is Right For
The honest answer is: most groups.
It's the right boat for a birthday party of eight who want to spend the day on the flybridge with the Intracoastal as their backdrop. It's the right boat for a corporate group entertaining clients who need a space that feels genuinely impressive without being ostentatious. It's the right boat for a couple celebrating an anniversary who want a private sunset cruise with dinner on the aft deck.
The 590 handles all of those scenarios well because it was designed to. It's a versatile boat — not a specialist vessel optimized for one type of use — and that versatility is exactly what makes it the right choice for Fort Lauderdale's varied charter market.
