JOVE - PRESTIGE FOR SALE

JOVE is a striking showcase of the sought-after Prestige 680 Flybridge, a luxury flybridge motor yacht kept under the care of a full-time captain and preserved in exemplary condition. Fresh from an April 2025 bottom and swim platform service, she is fully serviced and poised to cruise. The 680’s bright, open-concept design creates an inviting platform for elegant entertaining and relaxed family cruising, with seamless flow between salon, galley, and deck spaces. Accommodations are generous and private, sleeping eight guests across four staterooms with three heads, plus a separate crew cabin for two; the master suite sits forward for added tranquility. Easy to view in Fort Lauderdale, she presents as a refined family yacht and premium cruising yacht in turnkey order.

Performance and handling are confident and effortless with twin Volvo IPS 1200s showing just 1,115 hours, complemented by joystick control and a Dynamic Positioning System (Skyhook). Dockmate wireless control brings fingertip maneuvering, while Starlink keeps you connected offshore. Long-range autonomy is enhanced by an Ultro Clear watermaker, and a 2016 Novurania 13' tender with a 50 HP Yamaha rides securely on the hydraulic swim platform for smooth beach and harbor access. Entertaining on deck is elevated by two ice makers and a Fusion stereo with JL speakers throughout the exterior, and onboard comfort is refined by the upgraded TECMA head system. Bristling with desirable options and thoughtful upgrades, JOVE stands out as a polished Prestige 680—an elegant, pod-drive flybridge cruiser and luxury motor yacht that is comprehensively equipped, impeccably maintained, and ready for her next adventure.

Cockpit

The aft deck of the 680 is sheathed in beautifully maintained teak, presenting in excellent condition and setting a refined tone the moment you step aboard. A centerline teak table with stainless cup holders stands just forward of a nearly full‑beam sofa that comfortably seats five or six, creating a generous social hub. Tucked beneath the flybridge steps, the Isotherm ice maker keeps refreshments flowing, while a large starboard storage locker swallows gear with ease. An electronic aft shade lowers at the touch for sun protection and privacy, turning the cockpit into a perfect venue for relaxed gatherings. To port, steps lead down to the hydraulic swim platform, providing effortless access to the Novurania tender and the crew area. Throughout the space, JL speakers deliver rich sound, while overhead LED lighting sets a warm evening ambiance.

Galley

Large sliding doors connect the cockpit to the aft galley and dining area, and when opened wide they transform the entire space into a seamless alfresco environment. The aft galley placement makes serving and entertaining effortless, with instant access to the cockpit and a short reach to the flybridge. On entry, a beautiful glass dining table sits to starboard, wrapped by an L‑shaped leather sofa, with a convenient Fusion stereo control and a tidy storage nook alongside. The galley itself is spacious and smartly equipped with a Bosch 3‑burner cooktop, a Miele microwave, and a Siemens dishwasher, complemented by a separate refrigerator/freezer and abundant storage above and below. The dark‑laminate sole contrasts elegantly with light cabinetry and leather accents. An island neatly divides galley and dining, perfect for setting a casual buffet and discreetly housing much of the onboard dishware.

Salon

Flowing directly from the galley, the salon is exceptionally light and airy, amplifying the 680’s open‑concept layout and remarkable comfort. To port, a generous L‑shaped sofa invites lounging, while a love seat opposite creates an intimate conversation setting. Storage abounds beneath the sofas, supplemented by two ottomans that open to reveal additional space. Forward and just left of the lower helm, a TV rises on an electronic lift, with tidy cabinetry below for dishware, glassware, and AV components. Beneath the lower helm seat, an aft‑facing Isotherm wine fridge keeps vintages at the ready. One of the yacht’s most striking attributes is the extensive use of glass in the salon and galley, making this 68‑footer feel substantially larger than her dimensions suggest.

Master

Proceeding forward through the salon, a private entrance to the master stateroom opens to port. Multiple lockers line the companionway, and once inside, impressive headroom and expansive hull‑side and overhead windows flood the space with natural light. A centerline queen berth anchors the room, its headboard accented by light fabrics and subtle illumination. To port, a cozy love seat pairs with a forward makeup vanity and additional storage, while a Samsung flat screen and sound bar are mounted directly ahead of the berth. Fully forward lie a generous walk‑in closet and the en‑suite head, the latter featuring a large stall shower with a bench seat and a vanity with ample counter space and a substantial stone sink. In the master head’s sole, there is access to the bow thruster and a large bilge area. The yacht’s entire waste system has been upgraded to TECMA heads, with the former VacuFlush system removed. The sophisticated mix of dark woods and light fabrics continues throughout the staterooms, lending a modern, open feel to the whole yacht.

Helm

The lower helm is comprehensively outfitted with Raymarine electronics, including triple 15‑inch chartplotter displays and a dedicated autopilot controller. The Volvo IPS 1200s are monitored by an independent 7‑inch screen showing all engine data, which can also be mirrored on the main Raymarine display if preferred. Complementing the suite are a Seakeeper display, a Quick chain counter, a Quick bow thruster control, and VHF controls. The IPS throttle and joystick sit ergonomically to starboard, affording the captain excellent sightlines when maneuvering. A major advantage aboard JOVE is the Dockmate remote control, enabling the captain to operate the yacht while moving about the deck and handling lines as needed. JOVE is also equipped with DPS, the Dynamic Positioning System that holds the yacht’s position at the push of a button.

Vip

Just forward of the galley to starboard, a staircase descends to three additional staterooms. As you step down, three compact lockers house the vessel’s breakers and control board, including battery switches, generator controls, and all pump systems. At the base of the steps and aft is the entrance to the VIP stateroom, which could rightly be considered a second master. Spanning the full beam with a centerline queen berth, the VIP offers generous volume, with a large hanging locker to starboard, a lower locker for bulkier items, and a dedicated vanity. Hull‑side windows pour light across the elegant pairing of dark woods and light fabrics. A Samsung TV is mounted on the forward bulkhead, with AV equipment tucked just forward of the vanity. To port, the en‑suite head features another stall shower, a beautiful stone sink, and a brand‑new TECMA head.

Guest cabins

The two guest cabins lie forward and share a head located to port at the end of the companionway. Mirror images of each other, they each provide two twin beds, a quality hanging locker with additional storage, Samsung TVs, and attractive hull‑side windows with opening ports. The port cabin also includes custom filler cushions that convert the twins into an additional queen berth when desired.

Flybridge

Accessed from the cockpit’s port side, the flybridge is impressively expansive for a 68‑foot yacht. Light brown upholstery remains in excellent condition and stays covered when not in use. All the way aft, an L‑shaped sofa runs from port to starboard and easily accommodates eight to ten guests. Forward to starboard, the outdoor galley features a sink, a Kenyon grill, an Isotherm ice maker, and a Dometic fridge. The hardtop shades approximately 75% of the flybridge and incorporates an electronic sunroof and a starboard‑side TV mount. Additional sofas line both port and starboard, while a vast sunpad wraps around the upper helm. The upper helm is equipped with two Raymarine displays and mirrors most of the functionality found at the lower station. The JL Audio system continues throughout, with a separate Fusion control at the helm. Up on the bow, a clamshell bimini shelters the sunpad, with a forward bench completing this inviting space.

Engine room/mechanical

The machinery space is clean and well‑appointed, featuring Volvo IPS 1200s showing 1115 hours, a 29 kW Cummins generator, an Ultro Clear watermaker, a new high‑pressure pump, a U Lube oil‑change pump, and a Sea Fire FD 1300 M2 suppression system. Climate control is robust with AC chillers rated at 48,000 BTU each. Electrical support includes two Dolphin battery chargers and two JL Audio amplifiers. Freshly upgraded TECMA heads are installed throughout.

Crew

From the swim platform, a transom door leads directly into the crew area. To port, a single cabin offers two crew berths, while to starboard a separate head enhances privacy and convenience. A Splendide washer/dryer combo serves the space, and forward there is direct access into the engine room, streamlining service and daily operation.

Exclusions

Owner’s personal effects.
