How to Choose Your Yacht Builder?
Where Are PRESTIGE Yachts Built?
PRESTIGE relies on two centres of excellence within the Beneteau Group: the Les Herbiers facility in France and the Monfalcone facility in Italy. These two sites embody the perfect alliance between French heritage and Italian excellence in motor yacht construction.
Les Herbiers: The Historic Heart of PRESTIGE
This historic site, where the first PRESTIGE models were born in 1989, is today one of the largest yacht production centres in Europe. It is here that the brand's technical expertise is concentrated, where each yacht takes shape through a perfectly mastered industrial process that never sacrifices artisanal refinement.
The Les Herbiers facility regularly welcomes future owners during the PRESTIGE Exclusive Days — privileged events that offer a behind-the-scenes look at the manufacturing process and a deeper understanding of the attention paid to every detail. These days provide a unique immersion into the heart of PRESTIGE's industrial expertise.
Monfalcone: Excellence for Larger Vessels
Facing the Adriatic Sea, the state-of-the-art Monfalcone facility spans over 45,000 square metres and benefits from recognised expertise in the construction of large yachts. This site hosts the production of the most ambitious models in the range, including the M-Line yachts, which require specific facilities and particular expertise.
This Franco-Italian collaboration embodies the vision of PRESTIGE: combining the best of two maritime cultures to create yachts that transcend industry standards. Garroni Italian design meets French industrial expertise here, giving rise to yachts where Mediterranean elegance and technical excellence resonate in perfect harmony.
Test-Sailing Your Yacht Before Buying: The PRESTIGE Experience
Buying a yacht is a decision that must above all be lived on board. Fully aware of this requirement, PRESTIGE regularly organises exclusive events offering its clients the opportunity to discover and test its yachts in privileged conditions.
The PRESTIGE Exclusive Days in Beaulieu-sur-Mer
Every year, PRESTIGE hosts the Exclusive Days in the idyllic setting of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, on the French Riviera. These exceptional days bring together clients, dealers and brand teams in an atmosphere dedicated to the Mediterranean Art of Living.
During these events, nearly 300 international guests discover a comprehensive selection of models and enjoy exclusive sea trials. You have the opportunity to meet and engage with the faces behind the brand, and to experience the performance of PRESTIGE yachts during personalised on-water outings.
These days are far more than a simple commercial presentation. They embody the PRESTIGE philosophy: discovering yachts in their natural environment, feeling the harmony between interior design and the Mediterranean landscape, and understanding how each living space connects with the sea. It is often during these privileged moments that future owners confirm their choice, experiencing first-hand what it means to savour the Art of Living according to PRESTIGE.
Personalised Yacht Sea Trials with Your Dealer
Beyond these exceptional events, the PRESTIGE dealer network organises personalised sea trials throughout the year. Accompanied by a professional with an intimate knowledge of each model, you take the time to explore performance, test manoeuvrability, appreciate cruising comfort and concretely imagine your life on board. This direct experience is irreplaceable when it comes to refining your choice and projecting yourself into your future role as an owner.

How to Personalise Your Motor Yacht?
A PRESTIGE yacht does not simply meet your needs: it reflects your personality and embodies your vision of the art of living at sea. Personalisation is a central element of the PRESTIGE experience, going far beyond a simple choice of options.
The Premium Service: A Bespoke Accompaniment
The PRESTIGE Premium Service supports every owner through the personalisation process, from the signing of the contract through to delivery. This exclusive service connects you with experts who precisely analyse your needs and guide you through your choices of layout, materials and equipment.
PRESTIGE experts are entirely at your service to bring bespoke projects to life, sourcing and selecting fine materials that create a unique atmosphere on board your yacht.
Online Yacht Configurator: Visualise Your Bespoke PRESTIGE
PRESTIGE offers an advanced online configurator, designed as a true projection tool. It allows you to explore in detail the full range of personalisation options for your yacht, from interior layout plans to the choice of wood essences, floor coverings, upholstery fabrics, teak decking and powertrain options. Intuitive and immersive, this tool provides a concrete visualisation of your future yacht in just a few minutes, faithful to your tastes and sailing style. The configuration created can then be shared with your dealer, to discuss, refine your choices and build a project perfectly aligned with your expectations.
Factory Visit: Following the Build of Your PRESTIGE Yacht
The PRESTIGE Premium Service offers a rare experience: the opportunity to follow the birth of your yacht directly at the Les Herbiers production site. Accompanied by a brand specialist, you discover the behind-the-scenes of the construction process through a personalised guided tour. Every stage takes on its full meaning — from assembly through to finishing touches — while exchanges with craftsmen and technicians lend a human and authentic dimension to your project. This exclusive immersion reflects PRESTIGE's commitment to building a strong and lasting bond with its owners, well beyond the delivery of a yacht.
