Prestige – whose dealers include Asia Yachting – staged the world premiere of the F4.3 at Boot Dusseldorf 2025. The French shipyard began unveiling its new-look F-Line series of flybridge motoryachts at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival, where it debuted the F4.9, a model making its Asia premiere at this year’s Japan International Boat Show in Yokohama from March 20-23.
Last September, Prestige presented the F5.7 at the Cannes show before announcing in December it had delivered its 5,000 yacht since the brand was founded in 1989 within the Beneteau Group. In January 2025, it soon followed up with the debut of the F4.3, successor to the Prestige 420, which has sold about 250 units.
Featuring the luxurious materials and finishes that Prestige has also introduced on the X-Line and M-Line models, the F4.3 is also distinguished by its design, which includes a hydraulic swim platform, optional beach club galley, and a single door to a cockpit with a flexible table and L-shaped sofa.
Outdoor areas include a foredeck featuring integrated sunpads with adjustable backrests, and a flybridge with C-shaped seating around a table, a forward sunpad and a helm station to port.
The interior includes the new F-Line models’ signature ‘OceanView Galley’, which occupies the width of the saloon on the F4.3. Sliding doors on both sides offers access to the saloon, which has a C-shaped dinette to starboard and a bench-seat helm station to port. Below deck is a full-beam master suite midships and a VIP cabin in the bow, and the option of one or two bathrooms.

Jean-Francois Lair, who has succeeded Erwin Bamps as Brand Director of Prestige, said: “We clearly see a return in investing in a higher brand positioning and great product innovation, with the success of our new F-Line generation, and the M-Line becoming a key pillar of the Prestige offer.”
With the M-Line now accounting for about 25 per cent of its turnover, Prestige will debut its M7 multihull motor yacht at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival from September 9-14. Featuring an overall length of 58ft, the M7 will join a multihull line that started with the M48 and expanded with the flagship M8, a 65-footer, with all three models featuring exteriors by Italy’s Garroni Design.
Like the M8, the M7 features naval architecture by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group and the efficient hull design can be complemented by a Long Range pack for increased autonomy and a Silent Mode option.
The M7 offers about 200sqm (about 2,150sqft) of exterior and interior living areas, which Prestige stated is equivalent to the space offered on a 70-75ft monohull motoryacht, yet the multihull design results in 40 per cent less fuel consumption. The M7 includes four en-suite guest cabins including a full-beam owner’s suite located forward.
As well as the F-Line and M-Line, Prestige produces the S-Line series of sport yachts (coupe versions of the F-Line models) and the X-Line range of wide, crossover yachts distinguished by reverse-raked windscreens, with the X70 featuring a full wide-body design and the X60 including just a port walkway on the main deck.
