The transition from the previous Fly models (590 Fly, 520Fly, etc.) to the new Prestige F-line model range is now complete with the launch of the new F6.7, ushering in a new era, with new designs. The same core ideas are still there: lighter interiors, easier movement between inside and outside spaces, a more social galley arrangement, and a softer, more resort-like feel than older-school production flybridge yachts.
"Prestige set out to modernize their flybridge line to challenge the Italian brands that compete in the same market," said Jay Hendrix, Vice President of SI Yachts. "The new F-line range is perfect for family boating, entertaining friends, and really enjoying the season on a platform that offers a lot more space and comfort features. You can order your own customized, but we also stock many Prestige Yachts that come equipped with all of the options you will ever need when boating around the Northeast or South Florida."
The new Prestige F-Line models include:

Prestige F4.3: An Entry-Point Compact-Flybridge That Delivers A Punch
While the Prestige F4.3 might be the smallest in the range, it is anything but a stripped-down starter model. Beginning luxury boat owners can view this as a new entry into high-end yachting, and the layout shows why: it gets the brand’s OceanView galley, direct connection to the cockpit, bright salon, and a proper lower-deck accommodation plan that includes a midships master, a forward VIP, and a salon that can convert into another double berth. The twin Volvo D6-440 V-drives deliver a fun 22-knot cruising speed and a 30-knot max speed. While the F4.3 works wonderfully for a couple, accommodations are for four guests in two cabins, with an optional second head.
What makes the F4.3 stand out in a crowded 40-to-45 foot market is its balance of both ambition and restraint. It gives you the Prestige aesthetic of quality materials, lots of light, a sociable main deck, and that newer F-Line atmosphere, but in a format that still feels easily handled, approachable, and very weekend-friendly. Compared with its larger siblings, the F4.3 asks the least from the owner in terms of berth planning, crew expectations, and sheer scale. It the most natural fit for an owner-operator who desires the genuine yacht experience without moving into full-scale motoryacht size.

Prestige F4.9: The First F-Line Model That Defined A New Generation
The Prestige F4.9 is an important model because is was the first of the new generation of the F-Line to be created. It keeps the social, open-plan feeling of the F4.3, but raises the sophistication level with a Michael Peters-designed hull, a more expansive flybridge, and one of the key layout moves of the larger new-generation boats. The forward owner’s suite is set apart for more privacy and sound insulation, giving the F4.9 multi-night cruising comfort. The standard layout includes three cabins for up to size guests with an optional crew cabin. Powered by twin Volvo IPS 650s, the F4.9has a 21-knot cruising speed and 28-knot top speed, while also delivering efficient performance compared to its peers.
If the Prestige F4.3 feels like a luxury 43-footer with smart packaging; the F4.9 feels like the full expression of Prestige’s new design language. The larger flybridge, the more ocean villa-like main deck, and the private forward owner’s suite make it feel more “complete” as a modern family cruiser. In the model range, it is the boat for buyers who love the F-Line concept, but desire a more mature onboard experience without yet stepping into the heavier commitment of a boat that is in the upper 50-foot range or above. In its debut, the F4.9 won the prestigious "Best Interior Design" award at the World Yacht Trophies, a clear indication of its popularity among the boating public, and professional judges, alike.

Prestige F5.7: The Sweet Spot Of The F-Line Range
The Prestige F5.7 feels like the point where a modern flybridge yacht stops being merely practical and starts to feel genuinely cinematic. At just under 57 feet, it brings Prestige’s newer F-Line language into crisp focus: broad glazing, gentle exterior curves, and a main deck arranged less like a corridor of functions and more like a waterfront apartment. Its signature flourish is the OceanView galley, an aft-facing social space that opens to the cockpit through a large retractable window and bar, dissolving the boundary between salon and terrace. Below, the three-cabin layout is anchored by a forward owner’s suite on its own semi-deck, a clever arrangement that gives the yacht an uncommon sense of privacy and composure for this size.
On the water, the F5.7 is pitched less as a hot-blooded performer than as an effortlessly elegant cruiser, powered by twin Volvo Penta D8 IPS800s and designed to run at around 23 knots. What lingers, though, is not just the pace but the atmosphere: interiors styled with light oak, wicker, textured wood, and clean contour lighting that make the boat feel warm, contemporary, and quietly luxurious rather than showy. That is the F5.7’s real achievement. It delivers the ease and glamour buyers expect from a flybridge yacht, but it does so with restraint, sophistication, and a strong sense of how people actually want to live aboard.

Prestige F6.7: The Flagship Model Is Akin To A Miniature Superyacht
The Prestige F6.7 arrives less like a routine model launch and more like a statement of intent. At just over 67-feet, it is the new flagship of Prestige’s F-Line, and it carries itself with the kind of quiet assurance that defines the best contemporary flybridge yachts: broad glazing, elegant proportions, and interiors conceived around openness rather than ornament. Prestige’s design brief centers on ease of living aboard, so the F6.7 is shaped by generous volumes, fluid movement between spaces, and a constant visual link to the sea, giving the yacht the atmosphere of a waterfront penthouse that just happens to cruise at speed.
What makes the F6.7 especially compelling is that its glamour is matched by real cruising substance. The standard layout features three-cabins with an optional four-cabin arrangement for up to eight guests, crew space for two, multiple flybridge and main-deck configuration options, and twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS packages capable of taking the boat to a reported 30 knots. That combination of flexibility, performance, and refinement gives the F6.7 its real character: not simply a larger Prestige, but a more complete one, designed for owners who want the sociability of a flybridge yacht and the composure of a compact motoryacht in a single, very polished package.
What Really Changes As You Move Up The F-Line Range?
The obvious difference between each model is, of course, their size, but the more interesting differences are layout philosophy and ownership style. The F4.3 keeps things relatively simple with a two-cabin layout and a midships master; the F4.9 introduces the forward owner’s suite that became a defining feature of the new-generation range; the F5.7 deepens that idea with a more separated, more luxurious semi-main-deck owner’s zone; and the F6.7 shifts the conversation toward guest flexibility, crew, and multiple configuration paths. On propulsion, the F4.3 is the outlier with V-drive power, while the F4.9, F5.7, and F6.7 all use IPS pod-drive packages, which on paper reinforces the sense that the larger three are leaning harder into joystick-friendly, tech-forward handling.
The Prestige F-line range breaks down like this: the F4.3 is the gateway into Prestige’s newer design world, the F4.9 is the purest expression of the design reset, the F5.7 is the sweet spot for buyers who want serious cruising comfort without going full flagship, and the F6.7 is the aspirational boat for people who want scale, flexibility, and the strongest sense of living aboard. Prestige has done a smart job of making these boats feel related without making them redundant. They share DNA, but they serve four distinctly different versions of the same yachting dream. Whichever direction you choose, the SI Yachts Prestige team is here to assist you every step of the way.
