Prelude, built to travel, design to entertain.
Prelude is a rare 82' motoryacht with an extraordinary 22' beam, offering a combination of space, stability, and versatility seldom found in yachts of this size. She effortlessly bridges multiple lifestyles-long-range cruising, executive entertaining, family waterfront living, and serious time on the water.
Equally suited for Bay cruising and dockside gatherings, working aboard or hosting private executive meetings, or escaping crowded hotels and predictable venues, Prelude adapts to the moment. Her expansive layout is comfortable for large social groups yet equally inviting for intimate family weekends.
Proven and well traveled, Prelude has cruised California, the Sea of Cortez, northern fishing grounds, and transited the Panama Canal-demonstrating real capability beyond the harbor. Whether fishing, whale and dolphin watching, entertaining clients, or simply unwinding at anchor, she delivers uncommon flexibility with timeless style.
Prelude is not just a yacht-it's a platform.
A cruiser. A retreat. An executive base. A family escape. A fishing and waterfront gem.
And a yacht they simply don't build anymore.
