PRESTIGE 52 FLY

A Prestige 500 Fly rigged for the Bahamas

PRESTIGE 52 FLY is a 2017-built Prestige 500 Fly. Her shallow draft of roughly three feet is the point: she can work the thin water of the Exumas chain in a way that deeper yachts cannot, which is why she splits her year between Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Nassau, Staniel Cay and Georgetown.

Accommodation

Three staterooms sleep six: a king cabin, a queen cabin and a twin side-by-side cabin that converts to a queen. Two en-suite bathrooms serve the accommodation deck.

Deck spaces

A full flybridge gives shaded seating and open views, with a modern salon, a fully equipped galley and elegant cabins below. Twin engines and current navigation electronics make coastal and cross-stream passages straightforward.

Water toys

She is unusually well equipped for her size: a 10-foot 25hp tender, a paddleboard, an anti-jellyfish swimming pool, an inflatable floating pool, fishing rods, snorkelling gear for six, a floating water mat, pool noodles and beach games. Starlink, satellite and streaming television keep the salon connected.

Cruising grounds

Summer and winter: Nassau, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Staniel Cay and Georgetown. A three-night term charter suits Bimini or the northern Exumas; a full week opens up the chain down to Georgetown.
