After completing America’s Great Loop (2023–2025) and cruising the East Coast and Bahamas, we are selling our beloved 2016 Prestige 500 Fly “Ship Faced.” This yacht is a proven long-range cruiser, fully upgraded and ready for her next adventure.

Why This Boat Is Special:
• Effortless Docking: Twin Volvo IPS 600 pod drives with joystick plus bow thruster; three helms (flybridge, salon, aft cockpit) for ultimate maneuverability.
• Lithium Powered Quiet Nights at Anchor: 820Ah lithium house bank powers AC in master & VIP cabins for up to two nights without generator, keeping the boat cool and quiet while at anchor and the Admiral happy.
• Fast Dinghy Launch: Launch your Highfield 12’ center console dinghy with 30 hp Honda outboard in just a few minutes using the hydraulic swim platform.
• Fast Cruising: 18–21 knots cruise, 24–26 knots top speed. Cover miles quickly while remaining comfortable and efficient.
• Garage for Storage: A crew cabin can be used for another guest or captain OR used for the “Garage”. Tools, cords, spare parts, etc. all have a home away from the main living area

Perfect for Great Loop Cruisers - turnkey (all the electrical adapters, etc. included), joystick/IPS maneuvering, bow thruster, multiple helms.
