Emotional Rescue is the newest-model, lowest-hour boat we have in the sub-$1.3M band with the shallowest draft in your entire shortlist. 2022 Prestige 520, only 473 hours, twin Volvo IPS 600s at 440 hp per side, Seakeeper 6, three-cabin plus crew layout, and one of the most comprehensively optioned 520s currently listed. That combination of model year, hours, option list, and shallow draft is the type of new-boat surrogate we should be prioritizing when the goal is minimizing depreciation exposure on a first purchase and running the Exumas without a fuel-and-depth anxiety plan.
Cruise 23 knots and top 29, 14.58 foot beam and a 3.42 foot draft. That draft is the shallowest in your entire shortlist and it is the number that matters for the Exumas island-hopping use case, where anchoring inside the shallow banks is the whole point. Three cabins plus crew works for 6-8 pax including four kids without doubling anyone up. Hydraulic swim platform geometry carries the jet-ski story cleanly off the aft.
Asking $1,287,000, reduced from $1,290,000. The reduction is a nominal $3,000, which is the seller signaling willingness to talk rather than moving on price. Cross-comp inside your set is Avanti (2022 Ferretti 500 at $949,000, 235 hours, reduced 16 percent from $1,130,000). The trade is $338,000 for two more feet of LOA, the crew cabin, the comprehensive option list, and the shallow-draft Bahamas story against a lower-hour Ferretti with a much louder reduction history. If the shallow-draft Exumas use case is central to how you plan to use the boat, Emotional Rescue's 3.42 foot draft is the most decisive spec in the shortlist.
