"KNOT GOLFING" is a turn-key, owner-operated Prestige 500 Flybridge that's been continuously upgraded to 2025 standards. She's the most highly optioned Prestige 500 of her vintage currently on the market. Fresh from her second Great Loop and boasting over $100K in enhancements, she stands apart as the only Prestige 500 equipped with the top-of-the-line Garmin 8616 electronics package featuring point-and-click "Go-To" navigation. Simply pick your destination, any system can do it if you plot your own course. Simply pick your destination and sit back as the boat charts the course and does the driving.
Designed for effortless handling, she's powered by 2022 Volvo IPS Pods integrated with Garmin's advanced navigation suite, offering automatic route planning, autopilot route following, joystick docking, and dynamic positioning (Skyhook) for station-keeping at the touch of a button. These systems make her remarkably intuitive to operate-even for first-time 50-foot owners-turning every voyage into a confident, relaxed experience.
Luxury touches abound: a full-beam master suite, five zoned AC units, teak flybridge with grill and ice maker, and a Walker Bay 340 tender on a teak hydraulic swim platform. Ideal for Great Loop cruising or liveaboard comfort, "KNOT GOLFING" has been professionally maintained with an open-checkbook policy and is fully serviced, fueled, and ready for immediate delivery.
