A one-owner 2016 Prestige 550 Fly, professionally crewed and marina-kept throughout her life, lying in Turkey and offered under Turkish flag.

The 550 was the flagship of the Prestige flybridge range and the last of the line, built from 2013 to 2016. The layout puts a full-beam master stateroom amidships, guest quarters forward of it, and a crew's cabin aft above the pods — and it's the master that sells the boat. Each cabin gets large windows in the topsides; the master has essentially picture windows on either side. Three private cabins plus dedicated crew accommodation on a 58-footer is unusual, and it's why these boats hold their value.

The engines sit farther forward than is usual for a pod boat, which distributes weight more evenly along the hull — the reason she carries less draft than her size suggests and rides flatter than the numbers imply. Independent testing recorded 30.2 knots at 3,080 rpm, with best cruise at 22.4 knots returning 284 nautical miles of range.

The main deck runs open-plan — galley aft, dining and lounge amidships, lower helm forward — under full-height side glass with panoramic visibility. Three-panel sliding doors open the salon to the cockpit. Raymarine electronics at the main helm. The flybridge carries its own helm, dining and sun pads, reached by a single external stair so no salon space is given up to a staircase.

She has been kept at a marina with permanent crew aboard, which shows in the joinery, the upholstery and the systems. Family use, never chartered. Serviced by the engine manufacturer's dealer network. Bow thruster fitted.

Available for viewing in Turkey. Buyers are encouraged to appoint their own surveyor, and we will assist fully with survey, sea trial and haul-out.
