PRESTIGE 620S — Croatia The 620S is the sportier reading of a hull that had already proved itself. Prestige took everything that made the 620 work and rethought the upper deck around its SPORTFLY concept — a coupé silhouette that keeps a genuine flybridge, rather than choosing between the two. The lines come from Garroni Design, working alongside Prestige's in-house design department. Beneath them sits a hull drawn by Michael Peters, a naval architect with a long record in fast, seaworthy planing designs — powerful, predictable, and reassuring when the Adriatic gets up in the afternoon. Propulsion is by Volvo IPS 950 pods, which translates into quiet, low-vibration running at cruise and genuinely composed manoeuvring in a crowded Dalmatian marina. Three cabins accommodate six guests. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Life aboard gravitates upward. The flybridge is properly equipped for the way people actually use a yacht in Croatia — grill and fridge on hand, bimini top overhead for the hours when the sun is at its most insistent — so lunch, the long afternoon and sunset all happen in the same place, without anyone having to go below. Generator and air conditioning throughout mean the interior stays comfortable through a Croatian August, at anchor as much as underway. The crew handles the yacht, the cooking and the itinerary, and knows the coast well enough to advise on which bay to take at which hour — the difference between a good anchorage and a crowded one. A stand-up paddleboard is included, at no extra charge.
