Prestige Yachts: The M-Line Revolution Takes Center Stage at the International Multihull Show in La Grande Motte

Prestige Yachts confirms its participation in the International Multihull Show, scheduled from April 22nd to 26th in the stunning setting of La Grande Motte, France. As one of the most important events on the nautical calendar, the French boat show remains an international benchmark for the multihull world, attracting owners, professionals, and enthusiasts eager to discover the latest market innovations every year.

The spotlight will be firmly on two icons of the M-Line range: the Prestige M7 and the Prestige M48, alongside teasers for the arrival of the new Prestige M8 EVO, the evolution of the shipyard’s flagship.

Prestige M48

The pioneer of the M-Line range, the Prestige M48 is a vessel that instantly surprises with the livability and comfort of its spaces, rivaling those typically offered by much larger yachts.

However, the M48’s most distinguishing feature is the connection with the sea that this power catamaran provides its passengers. Large glass surfaces, expansive and continuous outdoor spaces, and a fluid layout create unforgettable cruising experiences, allowing guests to explore breathtaking landscapes and enjoy a deep sense of fulfillment and well-being.

The outdoor salon—an impressive six meters wide—is the beating heart of onboard social life. Available in various configurations, it is the ideal setting for sipping a sunset cocktail or enjoying moments of conviviality.

The attention to detail, already evident on the outside, becomes even more tangible inside, featuring top-tier finishes and spaces characterized by a sophisticated, yet never overstated, elegance. The living spaces include three welcoming cabins, featuring a generous master suite at the bow with a king-size bed. All cabins boast large windows that guarantee abundant natural light and sweeping ocean views. Each cabin has a private en-suite bathroom with a shower stall and furnishings designed to ensure maximum onboard comfort.

The fully equipped galley is designed to meet all culinary needs, perfect for preparing delicious meals even while underway. The interiors are completed by a large panoramic salon, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the journey in total comfort.

From a technical standpoint, the hull is designed by Philippe Briand, ensuring great stability and high cruising comfort. With a cruising speed between 8 and 18 knots, the Prestige M48 was developed to deliver strong performance while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. Versatile and easy to handle, it proves safe and reliable even in demanding sea conditions, always providing everyone on board with a pleasant sense of tranquility, whether underway or at anchor.

Prestige M7

Alongside the M48, Prestige Yachts will also exhibit the Prestige M7 at La Grande Motte, a model that takes the M-Line philosophy to the next level.

With an impressive beam of 7.5 meters, the Prestige M7 offers exceptional volume, translating into extremely spacious and comfortable environments designed to let you experience the sea like a true floating residence.

The outdoor living area is organized into two distinct zones: to port, a relaxation area with a large double chaise lounge that converts into a sunpad, while to starboard is a spacious central table surrounded by an L-shaped sofa capable of seating up to 4-5 people.

Aft lies one of the yacht’s most distinctive features: a large convertible platform, ideal as a dining or relaxation area right on the water. This platform can lower to the level of the side decks and even submerge below the waterline, significantly facilitating boarding and water access.

The main deck surprises with its size and openness. A large salon hosts a generous sofa with a table, ottomans, and additional seating, creating a convivial space that can accommodate up to 10-12 people in total comfort. Moving forward, there is a fully equipped U-shaped galley featuring a full-size residential refrigerator, oven, induction cooktop, and all the necessary accessories for onboard living.

Also situated at the bow is a second helm station, elegantly integrated into cabinetry finished with premium materials. It is designed to ensure protected and easy navigation in all sea conditions, as well as to facilitate maneuvering thanks to a joystick and dedicated controls.

The flybridge, on the other hand, is the heart of conviviality: in addition to the helm station, it hosts a dining table for eight, a wet bar complete with a grill, sink, and dual refrigerators, along with large sofas facing the bow. The layout is highly customizable according to the owner’s specific requests and is sheltered by a large hardtop.

The sleeping quarters complete the design with extremely refined spaces. The full-beam master suite is a true private apartment, featuring a king-size bed, chaise lounge, spacious wardrobes, and a large bathroom with a double sink and separate shower. The VIP cabin also offers generous space and top-tier comfort, while the starboard hull houses a second VIP cabin and a twin cabin, both well-proportioned and equipped with en-suite bathrooms.

The Big News: M8 EVO

Rounding out its participation at the La Grande Motte show, Prestige Yachts is teasing the new M8 EVO, the evolution of its current flagship.

The new model introduces significant layout and livability upgrades aimed at further enhancing the onboard experience. Key highlights include a completely redesigned main deck, an expanded galley, and a full-beam flybridge transformed into a true open-air salon.

Great attention has also been paid to the master suite, which is now even more spacious and luminous, and to the customizable nature of the spaces, in line with the brand’s signature concept of bespoke luxury.

From a technical perspective, stability, range, and fuel efficiency continue to be core priorities of the project, just as with the other models in the range.

The new M8 EVO will be available for an exclusive sea trial preview in Beaulieu on August 25th and 26th, while its official world debut is scheduled for the Cannes Yachting Festival next September.

Conclusions and considerations

Prestige Yachts’ participation in the International Multihull Show in La Grande Motte confirms the central role of the M-Line range in the shipyard’s strategy. With the M48 and M7 already pioneering a new concept of livability and connection with the sea, and the upcoming M8 EVO set to further redefine the segment’s standards, Prestige is consolidating its leadership in the high-end power catamaran sector.
