2022 has been an incredible year for the custom luxury yacht builder, and here’s our pick of some of the highlights…

October 2022 – World premiere of the largest FD Series yacht built to date.

The world’s fastest growing yacht series continues to grow – The largest FD Series yacht built to date debuted at Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (FLIBS) in October.

The 30.9-meter Horizon Tri-Deck FD110 is the new flagship of the Horizon Yacht FD Series.  Featuring naval architecture from Cor D Rover, the Tri-Deck layout option offers a lightweight open flybridge equipped with a helm and seating area atop the bridge deck, which features a forward wheelhouse, interior skylounge with dayhead and bar and hot tub aft.

October 2022 – E75 with enclosed skylounge for Australian client launched.

A new E75 model was delivered for a repeat Australian client. The 24m motor yacht features an enclosed skylounge and customised beach club.

The E75 is one of Horizon’s most popular models, with a sleek exterior profile with surprisingly large deck spaces for a yacht of her size. The model offers a three stateroom layout, with accommodations for six guests.

September 2022 – Brand new model – E90 – premiered and delivered.

Horizon launched and delivered this brand new model in its successful E Series line.

An evolution of the E88 model, the new E90 combines a performance-oriented hull with a streamlined superstructure.

The E90 has a four-stateroom layout. With a beam of 21 ft (6.4 meters), the vessel offers plenty of deck space and features great interior volumes. The E90 set on its maiden voyage in Spring, traveling to the Abacos, where she was officially christened ‘Lazy Daze’.

August 2022 – FD80 Hull #8 is launched for US market.

Hull #8 of the popular 25 metre Horizon FD80 series was launched.

Of note, this is the first model from the series to feature an open galley design, the first to be equipped with Caterpillar 1,600 horsepower engines and the first to include Garmin’s Surround View six-camera “Birdseye” system that promises enhanced security and safety onboard.

Built on speculation for the U.S. market, her world debut was at the recent Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

July 2022 – Horizon V68 hull #7 already under construction

Created in collaboration with world-renowned designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett, the new Horizon V68 has been planned throughout with spacious accommodations, wide side decks, and a voluminous interior on a 19’6” beam that takes advantage of large windows in the main deck and cabins.

Ideal for first or second-time buyers, families and owner/operators, the Horizon V68 provides the qualities of a superyacht – safety, solid architecture, and customization – all in under 70 feet.

July 2022 – Horizon headlines Sydney International Boat Show (SIBS).

After a two-year hiatus, the Sydney International Boat Show (SIBS) returned in July and Horizon Yachts Australia was a key exhibitor, showcasing a brand new FD80 and an E75.

The new Horizon FD80 features a semi-enclosed skylounge configuration and is the very first FD80 to feature an open galley on the main deck.

The E75 – historically the most popular Horizon yacht model in the Australian market – features a sleek and streamlined profile. The proven hull design of the E75 makes her an exceptionally seaworthy build for Australian waters.
