Prestige 550 FLY

Onboard the Prestige 550 FLY

The Prestige 550 FLY carries its 18 metres with a flybridge layout that gives guests real separation between decks: a shaded saloon and cockpit below, open sun deck above. With three cabins on board, it works equally well for a day out with room to spread across two levels or an overnight stop where guests actually want privacy at the end of the evening.

Out of Port Olímpic, the run south to Sitges suits this yacht well — 35 kilometres of coast, a bay that sits more sheltered than the open roadstead off Barceloneta when the wind comes from the north, and enough draft comfort to anchor off the town before guests go ashore for lunch at one of the seafront restaurants. It's a manageable day, not a stretch passage, which keeps the boat and the guests unrushed.

Twelve guests is a realistic ceiling for day charter rather than a packed-boat number, which makes the Prestige 550 FLY a fit for a family group wanting swimming stops and shade, or a smaller party who'd rather have the flybridge to themselves at sunset. Three cabins mean the option of a short multi-day extension is there if guests want to turn a single day into two or three — worth raising with the broker early, since provisioning and route planning change once you're staying aboard overnight.
