2011 Prestige 500

This 2011 Prestige 500 for sale comes from Zenith Yachting Asia. Prestige Yachts builds this range under Groupe Beneteau, one of the largest boatbuilders in the world. That backing shows up in the fit and finish, even on a boat now well into its second decade.

At 14.92m LOA, she runs on IPS pod drive rather than a conventional shaft system. Pod drive gives tighter maneuvering in marinas, a real advantage in tight berths across Asia. She cruises at 23 knots, with a 28-knot top speed. Those numbers hold up well against newer motoryachts in this size class. The 3-cabin, 2-head layout suits a couple or small family comfortably, without feeling cramped on longer trips. Twin diesel engines paired with pod drive also make docking far less stressful for owners without a dedicated captain aboard.

A 1.45m draft keeps her workable at most regional marinas, without ruling out shallower anchorages nearby. GRP construction keeps long-term maintenance predictable, even on an older hull like this one.

Zenith lists her in China, pre-owned, at USD 451,685. The tax status still needs confirmation. That’s worth raising early given the cross-border logistics involved for buyers based elsewhere in the region. China’s brokerage market for mid-size motoryachts remains relatively thin, which can work in a buyer’s favor on negotiation. Full engine hours and service records are available on request, and worth requesting given her age.

Buyers stepping up from a smaller boat often find the IPS system easier to learn than expected, which makes this a practical option for a first larger motoryacht.
