The Prestige F4.3 made its Asia-Pacific premiere at this year’s Auckland Boat Show, where the 43ft flybridge model was displayed by New Zealand dealer Orakei Marine. The F4.3, the third model of the refreshed F-Line, had its world premiere in 2025 and was reviewed by Yacht Style in Issue 85.
The F4.3 on show in Auckland was pre-sold. Orakei Marine, led by Jason Snashall, staged a christening ceremony at the show, which was attended by Tanguy Tertrais, the Hong Kong-based Asia-Pacific Sales Director for Prestige and Jeanneau.

Snashall said: “We’re proud to have the F4.3 down here in New Zealand. It’s the first F4.3 in the southern hemisphere, so we were excited to show the boat to the public.
“A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the arrival of this exciting new model. It was our privilege to officially welcome the new owners of this stunning new F-Line model to the Prestige family.”

An F4.3 will also be on display at the upcoming Japan International Boat Show (March 19-22), with another unit expected in mainland China later this year.
The F-Line’s new generation debuted in Asia last year with the appearance of the F4.9 at the Japan International Boat Show. The F5.7, the second model in the new-gen line-up, is scheduled to arrive in Asia-Pacific towards the end of this year for her regional debut in early 2027.

The F6.7, the flagship of the new line, is scheduled to have its world premiere at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival from September 8-13.
Tertrais said: “From the compact yet luxurious F4.3 to the flagship F6.7, the new F-Line delivers a seamless Prestige experience, tailored to each owner’s vision of life on the water. Our Asia-Pacific owners expect yachts that are as capable and comfortable as they are easy to enjoy. The F-Line meets that expectation with generous living spaces, intuitive handling and modern design that simply works for family cruising in Asia.

“From weekends in Hong Kong to island hopping in Phuket, from Japan’s bays to Indonesia’s adventures, and in Vietnam’s landscapes, the new Prestige F-Line is right at home, where elegance meets accessibility.”
