LUXURIOUS FURNISHINGS
The M8’s furniture is provided by four brands: Reflex Angelo, Pininfarina, Roda and Foglizzo. Regardless of where I decided to lounge while on board, there was always a place to get comfortable and take in the views.
65' LENGTH OVERALL
29' MAXIMUM BEAM
HOW FITTING IT WAS THAT PRESTIGE YACHTS introduced its new M-Line flagship, the M8, at Portopiccolo, a picturesque yachting village outside Trieste, Italy. Formerly a quarry, the cliff-side area had been chiseled into a clean site rife with eye-catching vistas, much like the French builder's 65-foot power catamaran and its nearly 3,000 square feet of usable real estate. Take, for starters, the M8's 344-square-foot cockpit. Apart from flybridge-bound stairs to port and a wet bar to starboard, this space (as well as most of the yacht's living areas) is an open deck with modular furniture. This setup allows owners to choose how they spend their time, whether watching sunsets on the hook or relaxing underway.
Aboard Hull No. 1, which will debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this month, there were four movable square-shaped sofas and two accompanying side tables. Aft-deck space is further enhanced by the M8's versatile swim platform (14 feet, 5 inches by 4 feet, 11 inches) that Prestige describes as a "balcony on the sea." When it wasn't overlooking the smooth waters of the Adriatic Sea, the 1,102-pound-capacity platform lowered into swimming pool mode at the push of a button, allowing access to the garage, dinghies and water toys.
