Accommodations:
On the 750 you will find a swim platform powered with hydraulics that can easily boost a dinghy. There are smart features in the cockpit where you will find a joystick docking station, and electric windlasses to help with stern line adjustments. There is also a dining table that can fit eight to ten guests and a sunshade that moves up and down for shade and privacy if needed.
All Prestige models have fully equipped galleys so the cook only has to take a few steps past the saloon doors to serve grand meals. Another dining table that is smaller is across from the galley, and the front of the main saloon is wide open on one level. The natural light that streams in is amazing.
The pilothouse is raised in this model, with glass bridge electronics and an electric help bench seat. The split level design becomes apparent here. Heading down, you will see two guest rooms that can be set up with single or double beds. Behind, there is a VIP stateroom with a toilet and shower. This would typically be the owner’s room on other boats of this size.
On the 750 the full beam owners’ quarters are located in the bow. The designers came up with an excellent plan to spread a part of this room over a guest cabin. This permitted them to move the owners’ room higher into the hull. Full beam breadth and the natural lighting are exceptional.
Above, the flying bridge there is a second control station and a substantial sun pad that turns into a guest bench. This is all in front of an outside grill and galley console. In the large dining and seating area there is an electric sunshade in the hard top for sunning choices.
Performance:
The 750 performs like a much smaller yacht than it actually is. The twin MAN v8 diesels with 1200 horsepower work impressively and this yacht is a delight to steer and command on day or month long voyages.
