Owner Experience Review
Owners consistently position the 500 FlybyPRESTIGEas a family-friendly cruiser and reliable weekend bolthole. Many report frequent short hops and seasonal use, with examples around 300 hours over 18 months. In the Med it is routinely berthed stern-to, with a jetski and RIB carried in the garage to enable spontaneous short cruises.
On the water, seakeeping earns trust; one owner described a rough return passage as “absolutely fine.” The Volvo Penta IPS setup delivers responsive throttle and precise low-speed control, making tight berths straightforward, especially in combination with a bow thruster. Performance is efficient for the class, with typical reported top speeds around 29–33 knots and notably economical cruising versus some rivals.
Living aboard reflects the same practical brief: a full-beam midships owner cabin provides privacy in the three-cabin layout, and the bright, sociable saloon offers generous headroom and easy galley connection. The large flybridge and aft cockpit comfortably host larger groups—owners cite 8–12 on deck—and the garage/tender arrangement is widely appreciated. On maintenance, experienced buyers focus on IPS pod service history and hours; owners also discuss the nuances of prolonged low‑RPM diesel running and the value of occasional higher revs. Engines are accessed via large deck hatches with pole ladders; reach is generally good, though the space-saving layout means the feel can vary with individual fit-out.
Pros and Cons
- Family-friendly layout with a full-beam midships owner cabin and a bright, sociable saloon.
- IPS propulsion delivers responsive handling and makes low-speed and stern-to berthing easy.
- Efficient performance with typical ~29–33-knot top speed and competitive cruising economy.
- Due diligence is essential on used examples: verify IPS pod service history and pod/shaft hours.
- Prolonged low-RPM diesel operation requires mindful use and occasional higher revs per owner discussions.
- Engine room is accessed via deck hatches and is space-efficient, so working room can feel tight depending on fit-out.
