PRESTIGE has launched the M8, flagship of its multihull yacht line, the  M-Line. This new model affords the  space and comfort equivalent to that of an 85-foot monohull  yacht, targeting the market of large models.  

The M8 offers an unprecedented experience: to live in perfect harmony with  the sea on smooth cruises, more respectful of the  environment with a reduced fuel consumption.  

The new M8 is built at the Groupe Beneteau Italia shipyard in  Monfalcone, Italy, on the Adriatic coast.

2019 | 15.24m / 50ft | Themis is one of the very few, highly sought-after Lagoon 50s in Australia.

For the design, Garroni Design was called upon for the M8. The M8 embodies the key aesthetics of PRESTIGE within a multihull configuration. This enabled the creation of a multihull that is less wide, but taller than  a sailing catamaran, and to offer unequalled surface area and dimensions. 

Proportions are typical of a powerful, contemporary motor yacht. The M8 is a true villa on the sea.  She offers over 270 m² of living space. 

The M8 is equipped with twin Volvo D8 600HP engines – an obvious advantage in maneuvers at port. 

The main deck is laid out on a single level, for  open, fluid movement on board.  

The mobile platform, at 4.20 metres wide, is like a beach club. It  can serve as a cockpit terrace, extending the two aft  transoms, or it can be lowered under water to  facilitate launching a tender. Between the hulls,  steps deploy automatically to allow access  to the water and boarding. A vast storage locker  enables the storage of equipment and water toys.

The benefits of  multihull power yachts –  design, generous space and  light, preservation of privacy, stability, and reduced fuel consumption – explain the growing popularity of the M-Line by PRESTIGE.
