Brand History

Philosophy .

Chief designer of the studio Camillo Garroni says: «When I start thinking about a new boat, I always remember that it should be modern and relevant in ten years. Working with Prestige Yachts, I always insist on innovation, otherwise my work will become routine. We study the market, the needs of the owners, we listen to the dealers, and then together we decide what to do next. The use of advanced software such as Catia allows us to share the changes we make to the design in real time, even if we are thousands of kilometers away from each other.
