Every memorable cruise begins with the simple decision to untie the lines. The 2017 Prestige 500 "Cauchy" was built to make every destination feel within easy reach.
Picture slipping away from her freshwater moorage in Seattle's Ship Canal,cruising the calm waters of Lake Union or Lake Washington, and with the Ballard Locks just minutes away, Puget Sound opens before you. Whether the day's plan is an evening cruise on Lake Union, a waterfront dinner on Elliott Bay, a weekend exploring Puget Sound, or a longer voyage north through the San Juan Islands and beyond, Cauchy is equally at home making the journey.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS600 diesel engines with just 493 hours, Cauchy delivers the quiet, efficient performance and confident handling that have made the Prestige 500 one of the most sought-after flybridge yachts in its class. Volvo Penta IPS pod drives, joystick controls at all helm stations, a dedicated cockpit docking station, and a bow thruster work together to make close-quarters maneuvering remarkably intuitive, whether you're docking with experienced crew aboard or handling the boat on your own.
Equally important is the peace of mind that comes with careful ownership. The canvas bimini was replaced in 2023, and all recent powertrain service has been completed by Volvo factory-certified technicians, with maintenance records available for review. This is a yacht that has been cared for and thoughtfully updated—not simply prepared for sale.
Step into the climate-controlled salon and it's easy to understand why the Prestige 500 continues to be a favorite among experienced cruisers. Expansive windows flood the interior with natural light, while the open-concept layout creates an inviting space that connects seamlessly with the aft cockpit. Whether you're hosting friends for cocktails at the dock or enjoying a quiet morning underway, the salon is designed to keep everyone together and comfortable.
Below deck, the desirable layout provides exceptional accommodations for owners and guests alike. The full-beam owner's suite offers generous living space, abundant natural light, and a private ensuite, while the forward VIP and twin guest cabin ensure family and friends travel in comfort. A separate crew cabin aft adds valuable flexibility, serving as private quarters, additional guest accommodations, or secure storage for cruising gear and water toys.
At anchor, the hydraulic swim platform quickly becomes the social hub of the boat. It's the perfect place to launch a tender, take a swim, or simply relax with your feet in the water as the sun sets over the Sound.
The Prestige 500 has earned its reputation by blending contemporary European styling with practical cruising capability, and Cauchy is an excellent example of why. With low hours, documented professional maintenance, desirable equipment, and the benefit of freshwater moorage for much of her recent life, she is ready to continue creating unforgettable memories for her next owners.
