Prestige Yachts, unveiled two world premiere at Cannes Yachting Festival: the Prestige F4.3 and the Prestige M7.
For over 35 years, Prestige has been synonymous with French nautical elegance. With the launch of the new M7 — the third model in the M-Line — the brand takes another step forward in the world of multihull motor yachts. Positioned between the M48 and the M8, the M7 offers over 200 m² of refined living space and the comfort of a 75-foot monohull yacht, combining harmonious design and sustainable performance.
With more than 5,000 yachts delivered worldwide, Prestige has established itself as a global leader in the 40-70 foot segment. The M7 consolidates this position, blending French craftsmanship with Italian design in a boat that embodies serenity, understated luxury and innovation.
‘The M7 represents our vision of refined cruising,’ says Jean-François Lair, Brand Director at Prestige. ‘It is a bold evolution of our savoir-faire — reimagined on a multihull.’
Garroni Design, which has been responsible for Prestige’s visual identity for over thirty years, took on the challenge of adapting the brand’s DNA to a multihull platform. The result is a sleek and elegant silhouette designed for motor cruising, with fluid circulation on board and a low-cut cockpit at the stern, in direct contact with the sea.
The layout has been completely redesigned: the staircase leading to the flybridge has been rotated 180°, improving safety and accessibility without sacrificing space. The owner’s suite in the bow combines brightness and privacy. ‘A dream project for any designer,’ explains Camillo Garroni.
Thanks to Marc Lombard Yacht Design, stability is one of the M7’s strong points. The twin hulls and optimised weight distribution ensure exceptional stability even at low speeds or at anchor — without the need for stabilisers. The new deck shape and optimised hull reduce drag and increase structural rigidity, while the two 550 hp Volvo D8 engines ensure a cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum speed of 20 knots.
At 8 knots, the M7 can travel up to 1,220 nautical miles with standard tanks — and up to 1,430 with the Long Staying Package, which increases fuel and grey water capacity. Solar panels (16 m²), lithium batteries and intelligent energy management allow for up to 12 hours of noise-free life on board, redefining the concept of sustainable luxury.
Built at the Groupe Beneteau shipyard in Monfalcone (Italy), the M7 combines industrial precision with craftsmanship. Extensive customisation options and tailor-made layouts allow each owner to create their ideal yacht, with the assurance of component traceability and a high level of after-sales service.
The 112 m² main deck is divided into three distinct areas: a lounge area at the bow with sunbathing area, protected side decks and a large aft cockpit with smooth access to the interior. The hydraulic platform transforms into a terrace overlooking the sea, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Innovative solutions such as the side door and the aft-facing staircase to the flybridge improve circulation and protection. A Skylounge version with a closed, air-conditioned flybridge is also available, maintaining the same 35 m² layout.
The interior spaces designed by Garroni are bright and airy. The raised saloon allows for surprisingly spacious cabins: 53 m² in total, including a 20 m² master suite with bathroom, desk and storage space. The layout is completed by a 10 m² VIP cabin, two guest cabins, crew quarters and an optional skipper’s cabin. Natural materials, soft leather, elegant fabrics and bronze details create a relaxing and sophisticated atmosphere.
Following the debut of the M48 in 2022 and the M8 in 2023, the M-Line has demonstrated Prestige’s ability to transfer its experience in monohulls to the world of multihulls. With the M7, the vision becomes reality: a new generation of luxury cruisers is setting sail, offering comfort, efficiency and style.
