Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Prestige Yachts 550 2016 vs Prestige Yachts 560 S 2018 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Prestige Yachts 550 2016 vs Prestige Yachts 560 S 2018 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 600 hp for the Prestige Yachts 550 2016 and 600 hp for the Prestige Yachts 560 S 2018. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Prestige Yachts 560 S 2018 is rated for 18 passengers, while the Prestige Yachts 550 2016 caps at 16. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Prestige Yachts 560 S 2018 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Prestige Yachts 560 S 2018 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 18 passengers and at 59,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Prestige Yachts 550 2016 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 16 that costs less to run day-to-day.
