Aquilla 44 with the foil option from the 42 (They claim 30% fuel saving from the foil)...... Or the 42 with the nice owners suite.... The cabin in the bow is just a waste of money as is the bow bathroom - all that work and fitting for something with no use. Top effort Jack, as always
I don't like the lack of headroom on the flybridge, the crew cabin arrangement is laughable and the fact that the engines are covered over with boards encourages you to use that storage space but will therefore make doing daily checks of strainers and oil a right pain in the arse. The cabins, especially the master are lovely. Great channel, absolutely loving your work.
I really like the prestige pc. I agree the crew quarters would be better for storage. I also like the Horizon pc60. I think both of these are using better design features
I like the Prestige better than the Aquila and the FPMY6. I would have the two cabins in the bow. Also, I would do away with the crew cabins and put showers in, so you don't have to have wet heads. maybe tweak the Vip for the master.
This boat is loaded with appealing features but I find the Salon lacking. Just a single U-shaped dinette with no opposing seating. Perhaps many people will not care but there is a segment that does.
Niiiiiice boat and some interesting design.....yet overall, too narrow for catamaran. It's a 2 hulled motor boat, designed by a monohull power boat designer.
Very nice boat and I think that the first manufacturer that designs and builds a cat with actual performance to go with the smoother ride(30 plus knots) will sell out immediately! Some of us prefer some “bang” for our couple million bucks 😂 As far as the vid: 👍👍
not a fan of the use of space on the main deck. there is a dinette and a galley. thats it. i think they have overdone the space in the main cabin and underdone the space for daily living and entertaining. the exterior is nice and it will be great in the med or the tropics as long as it is not too hot but i think they have some work to do on the interior. im looking forward to see how they refine it over time. the engine spaces are just bad. ill take the aquila over this for now - i would actually even take the new leopard.
From reading your comments I think we're both looking for something similar. I too agree the main living space is very poorly laid out and I would easily pick the Leopard or Aquila over this. This one does have several things I do like, as in the choice of bolted down furniture (I think it just looks better than the molded), but the main living space and the engine rooms lack of accessibility is a HUGE deterrent. I also prefer the front door leading onto the bow area provided by the Leopard layouts. If I could find something similar to the layout you get with the Horizon PC52 where they understand that space inside the main living space is precious and they, get this crazy idea, enclose (fully or partially) the fly deck so you can captain the boat no matter the weather from there and leave the living space for...well....living, my money would go there. Unfortunately, Horizon is out of my price range and I don't "need" the extra luxury touch they put into their yachts.
@@8654ZuluFoxtrot the front door on the leopard is a huge plus. i can imagine swinging on anchor with the head wind always flowing through from there. and i agree the new horizon designs are amazing.
It just looks awkward, "not ready for prime time", almost what its supposed to be, w/o a 24-25 foot beam (2:1 L to W) that really makes a cat, a cat vs cat-ish. Yeah, it tops most boats in the 50 to 60 foot range (fold down sides would really make it THE boat in that range), but still..... Would you trust it, with enough fuel, to cross an ocean thō?
Definitely not. I wouldn’t take this across any stretch of water long enough that you couldn’t absolutely predict the weather. Agree about the fold down sides. That would make it even better. I also feel it should be a fair bit wider.
Loving the superimposed layout popping up during the tour!! Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
For that small length, amazing space inside. The owner "suite" is amazing
Love it!!

Thanks Jack, love this boat and prefer it to the Aquila 44.👍

Thanks Matthew, glad you like the channel 👍
You would hire a crew for 48ft ? Now thats laughable
Mr. Haines, You have always been the best yacht presenter, now you are getting even better. What's next?
Thanks! What's next? More boats, of course! - Jack
Love your videos! Rising Star!!
Jack, I saw another video that said all the furniture on deck could be easily moved via a bolt with a turnbuckle...???
I really like the prestige pc. I agree the crew quarters would be better for storage. I also like the Horizon pc60. I think both of these are using better design features
No 240volt power output in galley to boil a kettle. But a nice looking boat , how much to moor this type of boat ?.
That depends where you moor it 😉
Great review style
Much appreciated!

1:17 Ok, so the garage is there (and pretty massive), I can see the stuff laying on the deck will provide some trip-hop, but where is the jungle?
😂
Laying what on the deck? Eggs? I think you’ll find the stuff is lying on the deck.
Prestige should stick to mono hulls and leave the power catamarans to Aquila. Good vid again thankyou Jack well presented.
Thanks for watching 🙌
Good looking yacht , was there a dishwasher and washing machine on board?
Both an option, I believe - Jack

They are big beautiful, just prefer a mono hull. I don’t know why just personal I guess.
190 NM range....
That's what I said......
Goodonyah Jack

I just want them to name a boat Prestige Worldwide, and use the song “Boats N’ Hoes” to advertise it!
😂
All those benches have prime legs to stub your toes in
You must stub your toes a lot to notice that 😂
need to be longer and more info

the free standing furniture looks cheap, and you lose the ability to have storage underneath or convert the backrests and zero cup holders. I'd pass.
Ugh, maybe good for my red headed step children?
I didn't like this boat.
Get back to me when they have an electric one 😆
