Explore how the Privilège 510, 600 and 650 combine ocean-going construction, owner-focused accommodation and three distinct approaches to life aboard.
The Privilège collection offers three approaches to long-distance sailing and life aboard. The Signature 510 concentrates on owner-operated cruising, with a central owner’s suite and accommodation suited to couples travelling with occasional guests. The Signature 600 introduces more space and flexibility, including the possibility of turning a guest cabin into an office, studio or exercise room. The Signature 650 provides a larger residential setting, with arrangements that accommodate professional crew and separate domestic work from guest areas.
Their competitive strengths follow a consistent principle: devote space and engineering to the people who will actually live aboard. Across the luxury sailing catamaran market, buyers can find greater cabin capacity, performance-focused construction or different propulsion technologies. Privilège’s proposition centres on ocean-going capability, personal accommodation and the practical requirements of extended ownership. Choosing between the three models means deciding how much space, operational support and freedom of arrangement a cruising programme requires.
The collection puts residential comfort within an offshore structure
At Privilège Marine, we build bluewater cruising catamarans in Les Sables-d’Olonne. The Signature 510, 600 and 650 share naval architecture by Cabinet Marc Lombard and interiors by Darnet Design. Their purpose combines offshore sailing with the routines of a permanent home.
The construction specifications include infused foam-core structures and laminated structural bulkheads. A sandwich structure separates two laminate skins with a lightweight core, providing stiffness while controlling weight. Bonded connections between structural elements distribute loads through the yacht.
These methods support the offshore brief, although construction terminology alone cannot establish superiority over another builder. The more useful distinction is how structure, accommodation and equipment work together around an owner’s intended use.
Our competitive position rests on that combination: a sailing yacht designed for extended passages, with living spaces that owners can shape around their needs.
The Signature 510 makes owner-operated cruising its priority
The Signature 510 measures 15.24 metres overall (50 feet), with a beam of 7.98 metres (approximately 26 feet 2 inches) and a draught of 1.57 metres (5 feet 2 inches). It is the most compact model in the collection and the natural starting point for couples planning to sail without permanent crew.
Its standard accommodation comprises an owner’s suite and two guest cabins. The owner’s double bed, measuring 1.80 by 2.00 metres, occupies the central pod between the hulls.
This arrangement gives the 510 a clear advantage for buyers who place a high value on their own accommodation. Compared with layouts configured for more guests, it concentrates space on the people spending the most time aboard.
The distinction matters commercially. A couple planning several seasons afloat has different priorities from an operator seeking maximum cabin capacity. Storage, bedroom access and everyday comfort become purchasing criteria in their own right.
The 510’s appeal is therefore residential space at an owner-operated scale. Its suitability still depends on sailing experience, physical capability and equipment choices. Powered sail handling assists the crew; passage planning and sound seamanship remain essential.
The Signature 600 gives owners greater control over their space
The Signature 600, introduced in April 2026, develops the Signature 580 platform. Its evolution concentrates on interior architecture, lighting, materials and the relationship between living areas.
At 19.70 metres overall (approximately 64 feet 8 inches), with a beam of 9.18 metres (30 feet 1 inch), it offers a substantial increase in scale over the 510. Its most distinctive accommodation feature is the adaptable aft port cabin. Owners can configure this space as an office, studio, exercise room or additional storage.
That flexibility has practical value. Someone working remotely may use a separate office daily. A family preparing for extended cruising may prefer organised equipment storage. Either choice can contribute more to life aboard than an additional guest bedroom.
The standard arrangement combines an owner’s suite, three guest cabins and a galley in the saloon. An alternative places the galley below and provides crew accommodation with two guest cabins.
The competitive advantage is personalisation beyond finishes. Many luxury catamarans offer choices of upholstery, timber and cabin arrangements. The 600’s proposition explicitly extends to changing a room’s function.
Within the collection, it suits owners seeking greater separation between activities: sailing, entertaining, working and resting. The additional space also brings larger equipment and more extensive systems to manage.
The Signature 650 creates a private home with room for crew
The Signature 650 measures 21.62 metres overall (approximately 70 feet 11 inches), with a beam of 9.21 metres (30 feet 3 inches). Its central owner’s suite occupies the nacelle and benefits from forward-facing views.
The standard arrangement includes that suite, two guest cabins, crew accommodation and a galley below the main living level. This supports a household travelling with professional assistance while preserving distinct spaces for owners, guests and domestic work.
Against competing layouts that allocate more space to additional cabins, the 650’s advantage is its emphasis on private residential use. A smaller guest complement can make sense when the owners value generous personal accommodation and extended stays aboard.
The galley’s location also changes daily routines. Food preparation can continue separately from conversation, entertaining or quiet time in the saloon.
The 650 consequently addresses a different ownership model from the 510. Crew arrangements, maintenance responsibilities and operating expenditure should form part of the purchasing brief from the outset.
The strongest choice follows the way owners intend to live
The collection offers a progression in use as well as size. The 510 supports couples taking an active role in sailing and maintenance. The 600 provides greater freedom to organise family life. The 650 accommodates a more extensive residential programme with crew.
Across all three, equipment choices require discipline. Batteries, tenders, appliances and additional stores consume carrying capacity. Electrical demand determines how effectively solar generation, storage and a generator can support life aboard.
The decisive question is how each yacht will function during an ordinary month at sea. A well-chosen Privilège gives its owners the accommodation, working space and sailing arrangements that make that month possible.
