Prestige 400 Fly — flybridge perfection on the Adriatic

We chartered the Prestige 400 Fly for a day trip to the Elaphiti Islands and the experience was simply superb. The flybridge is the obvious centrepiece of this yacht — elevated above the water, shaded by a bimini, and with visibility in every direction, it is the finest place to watch the Croatian coastline pass. The two 380-horsepower Cummins engines power the boat with quiet authority, and the large aft sundeck is ideal for relaxing at anchor. Our skipper was professional and warm, found us excellent swimming spots, and even organised a spontaneous stop at a tiny harbour restaurant for the most remarkable langoustine lunch. The convertible sunbed on the sundeck was a particular delight. An exceptional yacht, an exceptional day.
