Horizon Yachts Launches Custom FD90

Horizon Yacht has announced the launch a unique three-stateroom custom FD90 motoryacht. Commissioned by a Horizon E88 owner looking to upgrade, the FD90 features a number of customisations to suit the owners who cruise with their three dogs.

The yard’s willingness to consider, engineer and accommodate requests for customization is among the many reasons that experienced owners return to Horizon time and again to build their next dream yacht.

The master suite

The customer approached the yard directly to design and build a yacht based on the FD Series’ voluminous profile and hull form that would suit his family’s onboard lifestyle. The custom FD90 features a three cabin layout, with all three cabins located on the lower deck to free up the main deck for entertaining.

Accommodation customisations have also been made for the owners’ dogs, which include a special windowsill ledge in the dinette area for the dogs to sit on.

The indoor dining area

The most dramatic departure from the standard FD Series main deck layout is found forward, where the owners specified a large galley/country kitchen configuration in the space normally accommodating an on-deck master stateroom.

The country style kitchen

The country kitchen area features a built-in dinette and working desk overlooked by a skylight with motorized blinds.

On the upper deck, the pilothouse and enclosed skylounge features dual helm chairs, a fixed L-shaped settee and hi/lo sliding table top dinette and a dayhead.

Foredeck large sunpad accompanies a Jacuzzi and built-in settee and dinette.

The foredeck features a sunpad and Jacuzzi and barriers have been erected around the deck to enable the owners’ dogs to run around safely.

Speaking about the yacht, the owner said: “Horizon’s willingness to modify their design is limited only by your imagination and your pocketbook. Our dogs also played into the design and Horizon made numerous modifications to keep them safe aboard while cruising.”

Powered by dual CAT engines of 1,136hp each, this custom FD90 holds 3,480 U.S. gallons of fuel. She is on schedule to deliver to her owners in early November 2020.

Derani Yachts are delighted to have been appointed the Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore dealers for Horizon Yacht. For more information on the FD90 or other Horizon yacht builds, please get in touch.

Horizon Yacht, the parent company of Horizon Group, was co-founded in 1987 by CEO John Lu, Mr. Gong Shan Chiai, and Mr. Cheng Shun Hui in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. A naval architect by training, Lu’s mission was clear and remains unchanged to this day: To build the ultimate dream yachts for his clients.

Since its inception in 1987, Horizon has emerged as the leading Asian yacht brand in the luxury yacht market and is known throughout the industry for its sophisticated craftsmanship, superior build techniques, and innovative technology. Horizon Group contributes to one-third of Taiwan’s total yacht exports and has elevated the country as one of the world’s top five luxury megayacht-building nations.

Horizon has been honoured as “Best Asian Motor Yacht Builder” 13 years in a row and is recognized as one of the Top 10 Global Superyacht Companies by The Superyacht Report and is the first and only member of SYBAss (Superyacht Builder’s Association) from the Far East.

Horizon build yachts from 56 to 150 feet in eight different model ranges. Among these are the E series which blends luxury and elegance with functional design in classic flybridge motoryachts from 56 to 98 feet. Open and enclosed bridge versions are offered on select models with a multitude of layout options, allowing the E series to satisfy virtually any cruising lifestyle.

Another style which is popular in Asian waters is the PC series which is designed, engineered and built as an advanced luxury cruising power catamaran series and is perfectly suited for the cruising connoisseur. Available in four models from 52 to 74 feet the PC series includes features normally found on much larger motor yachts, the PC series offers elegance, comfort and space on a yacht of a manageable size that is suitable for owner operation.

Horizon’s latest design is the ground-breaking FD series. From the design studio of Cor D. Rover and Horizon Yacht, the FD Series offers advanced fast displacement motoryachts that blend modern flair with functional living and entertaining spaces. The yachts in the FD Series are fitted to the highest standards with options for owner customization. Perhaps the most significant aspect of the FD Series lies below the waterline, where Horizon’s proprietary High-Performance Piercing Bow design, hybrid hull shape, and tunnel design deliver efficient cruising speeds and excellent stability, while also providing increased interior volume and comfort. There are 6 different models of the FD range currently in production from 75 up to 102 feet.
