Owner Experience Review
Owners tend to approach the PRESTIGE680 Flyas an owner‑operator family cruiser. The 3‑ or 4‑cabin layouts and the raised forward owner’s cabin are repeatedly praised for privacy, space, and natural light, while the aft‑galley to saloon flow and the large flybridge make weekend socialising straightforward; some boats also see occasional charter use. Overall fit and finish draw positive remarks, though a few early examples are noted for some lower‑grade fixtures unless upgraded with options.
Underway, the PRESTIGE680 Flyshows a refined, comfort‑first attitude, settling into an easy 22–24‑knot cruise with test top speeds around 27.5–29 knots on IPS1200/D13s. Seakeeping for coastal passages earns good feedback, with gyro stabilisation available, and joystick control with IPS plus a bow thruster keeps docking approachable. Balanced against that, several owners report that IPS can feel less “planted” than shafts in strong winds, and a larger turning circle than shaft boats is sometimes observed. Routine service is helped by a roomy engine room with multiple access points, but forum threads highlight recurring IPS leg issues, higher parts costs, and repair timelines that can stretch to months when full leg replacements are required.
Pros and Cons
- The raised forward master cabin stands out for privacy, natural light, and generous volume.
- Aft galley–saloon flow and a large flybridge suit family weekends, socialising, and occasional charter use.
- Refined 22–24‑knot cruise, good coastal seakeeping, and joystick‑eased close‑quarters handling.
- Some owners say IPS lacks the planted feel of shafts in strong winds and tight marinas.
- A larger turning circle than comparable shaft boats is sometimes noted.
- Forum threads report IPS leg issues with expensive parts and potentially months‑long repairs.
