Lady Maro - PRESTIGE

Immerse yourself in luxury with this stunning Prestige 500s, a yacht that has been lovingly maintained in the pristine waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. With only 350 hours of use, this vessel boasts numerous lighting enhancements and is equipped with a diesel heater, eliminating the need for winterization. Recently serviced and resealed IPS drives, along with reconditioned propellers, ensure this yacht is primed for immediate ownership.

Prestige is renowned for its ability to optimize space while crafting elegant and functional layouts, and the 500s exemplifies this philosophy beautifully. Featuring a three-stateroom, two-head configuration, an aft galley, and a spacious salon, this yacht also includes a private entrance to the master cabin—a luxury typically found in much larger vessels. The innovative Volvo Penta IPS system not only facilitates precise docking but also allows for a more spacious interior by relocating the engine room further aft, resulting in larger cabins than most competitors in this category.

The extended hydraulic platform at the transom features a fixed section for easy boarding, even with a tender stored. A hot and cold freshwater shower wand is perfect for rinsing off after a swim, while the freshwater washdown simplifies deck and tender cleaning. A city water inlet allows for constant pressure without the need to refill tanks. The tender garage, combined with the hydraulic platform, makes deploying the tender a breeze. Two additional 110V AC outlets enhance convenience for lighting or inflating water toys.

Access the cockpit through a spring-loaded plexiglass gate, which can be covered with an electric sunshade for complete protection. The centerline U-shaped seating surrounds a natural teak table, ideal for outdoor entertaining. This table features a high-low pedestal that converts to a sun pad with a filler cushion. Engine room access is made easy through two hatches, while a center cockpit hatch opens to the tender garage ceiling for convenient storage of lines and fenders. Overhead lights and speakers are integrated into the hardtop, and two extra 110V AC outlets provide additional convenience. A hidden cockpit joystick station includes bow thruster control for effortless docking.

The salon doors are ingeniously designed for access from both the starboard side and directly into the galley on the port side. To starboard, a private entrance leads to the master cabin—a feature typically reserved for larger yachts. The island-style galley on the port side is equipped with all the comforts of home, including a three-burner range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, stainless steel sink, and ample storage.

Forward, the salon offers an impressive amount of seating for a 50-foot yacht. A C-shaped sofa arrangement is complemented by a port-side facing sofa, creating a wrap-around seating experience. A BOSE surround sound system fills the galley and salon with music from a modern Fusion stereo. The high-low, leather-topped table serves as both a coffee table and a dining table when needed. Opening windows on both sides and a massive retractable sunroof flood the salon with natural light and fresh air. A cleverly concealed TV is mounted forward, opposite the helm, for easy viewing.

The helm is equipped with a full suite of electronics, switches, and equipment to satisfy even the most discerning captains. Upgraded dual Raymarine Axiom units feature a lightning-fast processor for quick operation and chart redraws. The autopilot controller is conveniently located between the chart plotters for added comfort on longer journeys. The Prestige leather-wrapped steering wheel is adjustable for both standing and sitting positions. A salon thermostat is conveniently located at the helm for easy temperature adjustments while underway. Additional equipment includes an anchor chain counter, Volvo Penta engine display, IPS joystick, throttles, bow thruster, trim tab controls, and VHF radio.

The master stateroom features a centerline bed against the aft bulkhead, flanked by nightstands and reading lights. A TV with BOSE surround sound is mounted on the forward bulkhead, while a dresser is located to starboard and a settee to port, forward of a large hanging closet. Expansive hull-side windows with opening portholes and shades provide options for privacy, natural light, and ventilation. The master head includes a full stand-up shower, mirrored medicine cabinet, and basin-style sink, with ample storage beneath the countertop.

Forward, the VIP stateroom showcases Prestige's talent for maximizing space. The bed, positioned against the forward bulkhead, allows for near-complete walk-around access. An overhead deck hatch opens for fresh air and features a screen and blackout shades. This stateroom includes its own dedicated Fusion stereo and TV, along with a port-side vanity that doubles as a desk, complete with an adjustable reading light. Large hanging closets are located aft on either side.

On the port side, the guest stateroom features side-by-side berths, along with a hull-side window, opening porthole, reading lights, overhead lights, a large closet, and TV. Opposite the guest stateroom is the day head, with cleverly folding shower doors that maximize floor space. A basin-style sink is situated under mirrored medicine cabinets, with additional under-counter storage.

Finally, the engine room is easily accessible through two hatches in the cockpit. Dual Volvo Penta IPS 600s power the yacht, while an Onan 11KW generator provides onboard power for AC systems. The IPS 600s represent the original IPS model, perfected since its debut in 2006, making it one of the best engine/drive packages available. All strainers and thru-hulls are conveniently located for easy access. The yacht's air conditioning features a chilled water loop Dometic system, far superior to other units. Pods are accessed in a separate compartment aft of the engine room, further reducing noise in the salon.
