PRESTIGE developed the X60 around what the builder calls new ways of living: more space, stronger connection to nature and a greater emphasis on sharing time with family and friends. The result is a 60-foot yacht that feels less compartmentalised than a conventional flybridge model and more like a loft placed beside the sea.
Wide-body architecture gives more space back to guests
The X60 moves away from continuous side decks at main-deck level and uses its beam more fully for interior and aft living areas. This changes the proportion of the saloon and cockpit, making them feel broader than on many yachts with similar overall length.
The trade-off is a different circulation pattern, but the gain is a more generous central living zone. For owners who spend most of their time entertaining or relaxing rather than walking the side decks, that exchange can make sense.
The main deck is designed as one social environment
Large openings and carefully aligned spaces help the cockpit, saloon and dining area read as parts of one continuous setting. PRESTIGE's designers deliberately use the language of loft living rather than the traditional sequence of marine rooms.
This makes social life less formal because guests can spread out without becoming disconnected. Someone preparing drinks, another person reading indoors and a group outside can still feel part of the same conversation and view.
The design suits family and friendship groups
PRESTIGE explicitly frames the X60 around sharing, which places relationships rather than technical features at the centre of the yacht's identity. The architecture supports several people spending time together without forcing everyone into one tight seating area.
That is particularly relevant to owners who use their yacht as an extension of weekend and holiday life. The boat becomes a place to host familiar people rather than a setting that requires a completely different social routine from life ashore.
Connection with nature is the quieter luxury
Broad glazing and exterior sightlines keep water and landscape visible from the main living spaces. The yacht does not need an extreme beach club to create a relationship with the sea because the architecture constantly reminds guests where they are.
For LYG readers, this is an accessible version of a superyacht design trend. The luxury comes from space, light and togetherness rather than from adding ever more isolated features to a yacht that already has limited length.
