£860,000 Yacht Tour : Prestige 520 F-Line

[@steve-marsh]

In a time when not much news is good news, I can't even tell you how awesome it is when I get the notification of a new Aquaholic video! Thanks for keeping 256K of us going Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Wow, thank you!

[@ΤΗΞΙηΣΑζΤΞΚδ]

Hi Steve!

[@Mike-ie6ee]

Couldn't agree more!

[@BullionaireUK]

If I ever win the lottery, this guys helping me choose my yacht

[@BucsFTW]

A Few Thoughts: First and foremost, thank you Nick... A year ago my the extent of my "Naval Knowledge" was limited to belly buttons. I had to stop and concentrate on which side port and starboard were on, and 'tender' was the way you treated your lady. Now I think I'm a cross between Espen Oeino and Andrew Winch...! "Hi... I'm Dave, and I'm an Aquaholicholic." The Hi-Lo platform is awesome. Seeing it in action is appreciated. Saying "This goes down like this..." holds nothing to seeing how it works first-hand, so to speak. (Pay particular attention to how wet the teak is in the beginning - then wait for the end!) The Aft Cockpit design is cunning. Brilliant seating solution for a 52-footer. A true 'entertaining boat'. And then you slide open the door (let's pretend it was closed), and it looks like the cabinetry installer was out to lunch and about to install the last overhead storage area...! What in the trailer trash hell is that? Setting a bottle of bubbly and two flutes on top doesn't distract from the 1/2" thick (THIIN) diminutive top, much less the awkward sharp corners, and general complete lack of style, ANY STYLE, whatsoever...! If you look closely @ 1:43ish, you see the Ikea barcode label in the bottom-right corner. Whoever approved that needs to be replaced...! By me. ;-) The damnable shame that is that excuse of an 'Island' is the "eyesore before the main floor". The Main Saloon just wreaks of style! So spacious and gorgeous glazing! Although the helm is obviously technically flawless and very maneuverable boat, the helms seating is admittedly wide, but it does not not look comfortable to sit at for any extended period of time. Love the design of the VIP and twin cabins... Not one single surface with a fingerprint gathering glossy finish...! Brilliant. I'll let Prestige slide on no TV in the twin. The shower enclosure is sheer genius. Finally... A solution to eliminate the 'wet room' for every other builder to emulate. What good is a counter in the heads where everything on it has to be stowed just to take a shower...?!? It's the bane of my existence. Cocktail time... I judge a Master Cabin by the quality/size of the A/V system, and for a 52-footer... Wow! An incredible cabin, for a boat on ANY size. I can't imagine NOT having the Flybridge version... But - instead of the immense Bimini top, why not a sleek carbon fiber arch to accommodate radar/nav sats/etc.? Seems they missed out on a design opportunity there. More brilliant seating with the reversible backrest...! One would safely assume that if you had the means for this type of toy - you'd probably be fortuitous enough to have a delicious bit of eye candy to perch upon the sun lounger adjacent to the helm. Top marks! That's one badass foredeck...! Simple yet useful. Flat sun pads and lounging areas always leave me scratching my yacht designing brain... The engine area... They're 'getatable' alright. IF you're a midget...! C'mon Nick... Now granted, it's not like very many yacht owners are gonna whip out their toolkits and start spinning wrenches, but... There's a reason why top-notch marine mechanics make incredible money...! And I bet you'd pay extra to work on that beauty. You pull her into to the marina and thank Phillipe for 'taking care of everything'... Jump in the Porsche and go have dinner. Simple. @11:34... How costly would it be to have something a little less haphazard than the 'almost finished' appearance of the tender storage area above the engines? If you happen to be in Brighton... Stop by and check out the rides at Tempest4cars. They've got a selection that covers a huge spectrum and price range. Check 'em out at www.tempest4cars.co.uk Nick... Thanks for giving over a quarter million of us a new outlet for entertainment...! You rock sir. Cheers mate...!

[@yyyyyk]

What an extremely high quality review! With the cutaways showing the tender garage, the high-low platform submerged and its stairs popping into place, you're really showing us every possible thing we wanted to see (and I know that I and several others LOVE seeing every last bit of the boat). Thank you, Nick!

Sorry I'm late, there was a 13-minute ad for the new Galeon 325 GTO and I couldn't tear my eyes away. Nick, that GTO has Smuggler's Blues 3 written all over it. What a boat. Alright, now this one - looks fantastic already!

[@danwelsh3061]

Another little gem of a boat. I find myself running out of superblatives (if that is even a word) for a lot of these boats. Just love the craftsmanship that goes into them & the thought that goes into the use of space the designers must of played a lot of GameBoy Tetris back in the day. Really nice layout & pretty much perfect as a family boat. Especially like the full beam owner cabin towards the rear....

[@JJ-fromDK]

Maggie the baggie hanging out with her family, how nice :0)

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

There’s a lot to like on this one, I really like the layout of the flybridge, and I love the separate Master. I’d probably go for the crew cabin, to clear up space in the engine room myself. The general layout of the boat is great. Of course it’s better because of the top quality Aquaholic Tour. Very nice boat.

[@LawnRight]

Stunning Different world

[@bobuncle8704]

Quite nice. I do like how the main cabin is separated. The engines are a touch cramped, but considering there a tender garage above it some sacrifices are needed. Over all a really nice offering.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking very very nice.

[@shawnphillips6203]

I usually really enjoy the SunSeekers and Princess models, but I must say this yacht is absolutely beautiful. All you’d need is a tender and a jet ski for fun and you’re all set.

[@TheKarivirtanen]

Pristige is a nice boat. But they need to finally fix those squeaky floors. That should not be an issue on a boat this price range.

[@genericusername2177]

When the only comment I have about a 52ft yacht is that I would like more cupholders in the flybridge you are doing stuff right. Really nice complete boat and a fair price. I wouldn't mind crossing the channel with this one. Great stuff @Nick, Aquaholic 💯

[@mwrcrft]

Wonderful boat and was enjoying the passenger areas but the mechanical room was quite cramped and I am sure they would charge extra at the marina for the special height appropriate mechanics to work in the small space.

[@Jose_LopezCasillas]

I like these"smaller" yachts compared to the super yachts. They seem more relaxed and functional. Gives off more of home kind of feeling, cozy even.

[@jaquigreenlees]

Nick, bow thruster with ips drives adds the station-keeping capability to function better. I think I would get the crew quarters but left as storage instead of the tender garage. That should give more headroom in the engine compartment as well as give you storage for bulkier items. With cradles on the high-low platform to store the tender you don't sacrifice anything but an empty swim platform.

[@danielamazing3264]

I remember really liking the “s” version of this and I do like the owners cabin at the rear! Brilliant stuff Nick!

[@alangebbie8848]

Comprehensive tour Nick as always.With Prestige you always seem to get squeaky floors that would annoy the hell out of me especially on a new build.Their interiors are okay but a bit MFI

[@RA-lj5jd]

I wish that island could unfold into something useful for informal eating/hanging out when weather is not so good. Like a proper kitchen island..

[@HPAPieters]

It’s very nice to see some of the space usability solutions on your channel, like that master wardrobe for example. Would prove quite useful in a regular home, I imagine.

[@zucods]

Interesting layout with the separate master cabin. Really nice solutions on space saving, but felt a bit cramped on the interior for the size. Looks really good, though! The garage is a very nice addition! Great boat overall. Thanks for the tour! Cheers!
