Prestige used boot Düsseldorf as the moment to push its dual-track strategy across monohull and multihull lines, with industry reporting on 24 February 2026 highlighting the new PRESTIGE F6.7 flybridge and the evolved M-Line typified by the M8 EVO. Afloat.ie reported the F6.7 as "now the flagship of its F-Line range" and said the model "completes a fully structured monohull line-up," positioning Prestige to offer a boxed-out F-Line for owners seeking a flybridge platform.

The brand did not arrive at this point overnight. Powerboatandrib documented Prestige's earlier presentation at the Cannes Yachting Festival, led by Brand Director Jean‑François Lair and Marketing Manager Clémence Cessou, where the company introduced new models and a luxury concierge programme and framed the F-Line evolution with the F4.3 entry model and panoramic flybridge features.

The M-Line remains the headline for owners and charter operators. Afloat.ie described the M8 EVO as "an evolution of its flagship multihull" and said Prestige's strategy is "centred on comfort, light and space, across both monohull and multihull platforms." AsiaYachting provides the most granular account of the M8 EVO's interior changes: "The Prestige M8 evo undergoes the most substantial revisions, fundamentally altering key living areas." AsiaYachting details that the internal staircase from salon to flybridge has been removed, freeing the aft starboard salon for a permanent dining area seating eight guests, while the flybridge stairwell and sunbed space gives way to a fixed, full-service wet bar on the starboard side.

AsiaYachting further maps the M8 EVO master suite rework: the central relaxation lounge is gone, the bed now sits to starboard with a long central settee, the walk-in closet is enlarged into a central dressing room that partitions forward sleeping from an enlarged aft ensuite, and the bathroom now features a substantially larger shower. Powerboatandrib and AsiaYachting both stress that these updates follow owner feedback to improve layout flexibility, functionality and premium finishes.

Prestige also signaled a compact multihull addition. Afloat.ie said Prestige "previewed the upcoming M6 multihull at boot Düsseldorf 2026" and called it a model "designed around balanced proportions and comfort." Yachtstyle Co, in an earlier extract, linked planned debuts of the M6 and M8 EVO to the Cannes show in September, reflecting differing accounts of where each model first appeared. Powerboatandrib reported that the M48 has been a commercial success, "with 70 units sold in three years," and noted a forthcoming M48 EVO alongside the M8 EVO.

Dealer reaction underscores the commercial pull. Gerry Salmon, CEO of MGM Boats, said: "MGM Boats are delighted to see the continued investment by Prestige in the new models," adding that "the evolution of the brand over the past number of years demonstrates the confidence the market has in the range" and that the lineup "gives our clients new and exciting models every year." Afloat.ie also noted the new models are "expected to appear at major international shows later in 2026." Full technical specifications, pricing and confirmed debut timelines remain to be released by Prestige, but charter fleets and dealers will be watching the M-Line revisions closely for layout-driven appeal.
