The Prestige X70 and the Case for Radical Architecture

Two yachts built around one architectural decision - give the interior the whole width of the hull. The X60 at 62' 0" and the X70 at 71' 7", both on joystick pods
The X-Line is two boats and one architectural idea: give the interior the whole width of the hull and let people move through the yacht the way they move through a house. The X60 is 62' 0" overall and the X70 is 71' 7".
Both are built around what Prestige calls the Infinity Cockpit - a cockpit glassed on three sides with a large electric sliding glass door to the aft transom, and a central galley opening onto it rather than tucked down a companionway. On the X60 Prestige sizes that cockpit around 40 per cent above a classic 60-foot cockpit and the flybridge around 30 per cent above a traditional one on this size of hull; the flybridge is reached by stairs from the cockpit rather than a ladder.
The X70 takes the idea further than the X60 does. It has no sidedecks at all: the saloon and cockpit use the entire beam, and the foredeck is reached through a sliding glass door to starboard at the helm. That is a real trade, and it is the thing to settle before a sea trial rather than after.
Propulsion is pods on both. The X60 runs twin Cummins QSC 8.3 on Zeus drives at 600 hp each; the X70 runs Volvo Penta IPS 1200 at 900 hp each or IPS 1350 at 1,000, with four joystick stations. Published speeds are 18 knots cruise and 23 maximum at mid-load on the X60, 20 and 26 at full load on the X70.
Where they separate is accommodation. The X60 sleeps six in three staterooms with a skipper cabin optional and spends its volume on the cockpit, the flybridge and the beach club. The X70 carries four staterooms plus an optional skipper cabin, for eight guests and two crew.

Moving Up the X-Line Series
X60 - 62' 0" overall, 15' 11" hull beam, 4' 4" draft, 55,138 lbs light and 65,477 lbs at full load. Twin Cummins QSC 8.3 on Zeus pods at 600 hp each, 581 gallons of fuel, 201 of water, three staterooms with an optional skipper cabin, CE category B12 / C14 / D14 for six plus one. Published at 18 knots cruise and 23 maximum at mid-load. The galley sits amidships and central, so whoever is cooking faces the saloon and the cockpit. The flybridge can be specified as a sundeck, a second seating area, or a bar and galley with a table for six, and the beach club aft carries its own sundeck, shower, lighting and audio. Interior by Garroni Design with Valentina Militerno de Romedis.
X70 - 71' 7" overall, 17' 6" hull beam, 5' 7" draft, 73,634 lbs light and 101,015 lbs at full load. Twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200 at 900 hp each or IPS 1350 at 1,000 hp, 1,057 gallons of fuel, 201 of water, four staterooms plus an optional skipper cabin for eight guests and two crew, CE category B-14 / C-18. Published at 20 knots cruise and 26 maximum at full load. No sidedecks: the full beam goes to the saloon and the Infinity Cockpit, with the foredeck reached through a sliding glass door at the helm and two stairways from the aft cockpit up to the flybridge. Four joystick stations - main helm, flybridge helm, hardtop support and cockpit. The owner's suite is forward with private access, a king berth, a sofa, a walk-in closet and panoramic hull windows. Central galley in stainless steel and marble, walnut woodwork, flush floorboards and sliding glass running the width.
Our Take
The X-Line is the most opinionated thing Prestige builds, and that is a compliment. Both boats are the product of one decision - spend the beam on the interior - and you will know within twenty minutes aboard whether you agree with it.
On the X60 the argument is easy to like. The volume went into the cockpit, the flybridge and the beach club rather than into a fourth cabin, so a 62-footer that sleeps six feels more social than a same-length yacht built to sleep eight. If you entertain more than you overnight, that is the sharper package, and a 4' 4" draft keeps the shallow anchorages in play. Add the skipper cabin if you want help on the long legs and drive it yourself the rest of the time - Zeus pods and a joystick make that realistic at this size.
The X70 is where the idea goes all the way. There are no sidedecks. You gain a saloon that feels a class larger than 71 feet and a galley sitting in the middle of the social space instead of down a companionway. You give up the ability to walk a line forward along the rail. If you berth stern-to and step off the swim platform, you will never think about it again. If you regularly single-hand a bow line in a crosswind, walk the boat before you sign - four joystick stations exist precisely because that walkway does not.
My advice on both is the same: do not judge them from a specification sheet, because the specification sheet does not have a column for this. Stand in the saloon with the doors open. That is the whole product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose the Prestige X60 or the X70?
Count the cabins first. The X60 sleeps six and spends its volume on the cockpit, the flybridge and the beach club, which suits an owner who entertains more than he overnights. The X70 sleeps eight in four staterooms and trades its sidedecks for saloon width, so walk it before you sign if you handle bow lines yourself.
How many boats are in the Prestige X-Line?
Two. The X60 at 62' 0" with three staterooms and an optional skipper cabin, and the X70 at 71' 7" with four staterooms plus an optional skipper cabin for eight guests and two crew. Both run joystick pods: Cummins on Zeus drives on the X60, Volvo Penta IPS on the X70.
What makes the Prestige X-Line different from the F-Line?
One architectural decision: give the interior the whole width of the hull. Both X-Line yachts are built around the Infinity Cockpit, glassed on three sides with a central galley opening onto it, and the X70 goes further by removing the sidedecks entirely. The F-Line keeps conventional flybridge architecture and sidedecks.
