Introducing the 2017 Prestige 500S "Top Nach": Premium Great Loop Cruiser

Presented in exceptional condition, Top Nach represents one of the finest examples of the Prestige 500S currently available.

Great Loop Ready

As the only Prestige 500S on the market with Dynamic Positioning System, combined with her low 3'4" draft and 13’4” air clearance, Top Nach eliminates most bridge delays while accessing shallow harbors and waterways that larger yachts cannot reach. The impressive 4.5 miles per gallon at hull speed (approximately 1.5 GPH combined fuel burn) and effective range of over 1,000 Nautical Miles means extended cruising with minimal fuel stops, while the quiet IPS drive system ensures comfortable, controlled, safe cruising.​

Advanced Handling Systems

Top Nach is equipped with Volvo Penta's cutting-edge IPS pod drives, and the current owner added the Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) - essentially a "virtual anchor" that holds your position and heading perfectly in current or wind. Combined with joystick docking, bow thruster, and full EVC integration, this yacht handles like a vessel half her size. Maneuvering through locks, approaching fuel docks, or holding station while waiting for bridges becomes effortless, even for less experienced operators.

Accommodations

The three-cabin, two-head layout plus crew quarter provides generous space for extended cruising with guests. The full-beam owner's suite features a private entry and ensuite head, offering true privacy and comfort. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the salon with natural light, while the galley-aft design creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining. Dedicated storage areas and washer/dryer accommodate extended cruising needs. Interior finishes remain in excellent condition throughout, reflecting careful ownership and climate-controlled storage.

Power & Systems

Twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 with approx 1,600 hours drives deliver spirited performance with 25-knot cruise and 30-knot top speed capabilities, though most owners find the sweet spot around 8-9 knots where fuel efficiency peaks. The 13.5kW Onan Cummins generator provides reliable house power, recently serviced and ready for off-dock living. With 343 gallons of fuel capacity, 168 gallons of water, and 79 gallons of holding tank capacity, Top Nach supports comfortable extended cruising between provisioning stops.
