Prestige M6 and M8 Evo Set for Genoa 2026 Show Debuts

The Prestige M6 and M8 Evo will make their Genoa International Boat Show debuts when the 2026 event opens in Italy on the 1st of October.

Both Prestige power catamarans made their world premieres at the Cannes yachting festival earlier this month. At Genoa, visitors will be able to compare the 15m M6 with the larger, 20m M8 Evo, the latest version of Prestige’s M-Line flagship. The show runs until the 6th of October.

M6 brings a new choice to the M-Line

The M6 is designed around connected indoor and outdoor living spaces. Its main deck includes a galley intended for extended cruising, while warm tones, woodwork and rattan details shape the interior. Below, the catamaran features a three-cabin layout that accommodates six guests. The full-beam owner’s cabin includes a sofa, desk and additional storage.

M8 Evo revises the flagship’s living spaces

On the M8 Evo, Prestige has extended the flybridge across the yacht’s full beam to create a larger outdoor lounge. The main deck has an expanded galley with an integrated bar and a dedicated dining area. Accommodation can be arranged across five cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite with its own access from the main deck. Buyers can choose from several interior and exterior configurations.
