CEO MESSAGE
CELEBRATING CONNECTIONS
We kicked off the new year with a special Horizon Yacht USA Owners' Rendezvous. This was “Knot Your Normal Rendezvous,” departing from the more familiar open seas for the heart of Texas. Sunhats and beach attire gave way to cowboy hats and boots as guests journeyed to historical Fort Worth to experience “Where the West Begins.”
Though I wasn’t there in person, the smiles captured in the photos were truly heartwarming. It’s incredibly gratifying to see our Horizon family connect and enjoy themselves, whether on the water or on land.
Back in the harbor in Taiwan, we had another significant celebration—the delivery of the FD90 LiTHIUM+
This yacht was custom-built for a longtime friend from Australia, who previously owned an E75 and followed up a few years later with the FD90 order.
The design of LiTHIUM+ was an entire family undertaking, with several members deeply involved throughout, from the ladies selecting furniture and fabrics to the gentlemen engaging in detailed discussions with our engineers on specifications. Every detail, from the drawer dividers to the engine room layout, reflects their personal touch.
Just as LiTHIUM+ neared completion, the family welcomed a new member—a newborn baby who joined them in Taiwan for the handover ceremony. This made LiTHIUM+ a true testament to “all-hands-on-deck” yacht design. We hope this little one, like the family, will enjoy many wonderful moments aboard their Horizon yacht.
As we go to print, Horizon has just completed the Palm Beach International Boat Show and is preparing for the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in May. We look forward to showcasing a wide range of models, including the FD, RP, V, and E Series. Come and experience the Horizon difference as we welcome you to the big Horizon family!

For both new and seasoned owners who demand a yacht that meets their exacting standards, Horizon Yachts is the perfect partner. The yard’s willingness to listen, adapt, and innovate has resulted in a loyal following among discerning clients who appreciate the value of a bespoke build. With a diverse range of models to choose from, it’s no surprise that Horizon has become the go-to destination for discerning owners looking to bring their unique vision to life.
Making her grand entrance at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show this March, the FD100 Hull 13 presents a fresh take on Horizon’s popular 100-foot Tri-Deck model. Tailored to the preferences of American clients, this iteration offers plenty of open-air spaces that harmonize with the exquisite interior design.
THESE PHOTOS Functional elements such as a pullout chair and full-height pantry in the galley (above) are balanced with walnut and stone textures in the main salon that evoke luxury (below).
Statement of Style and Performance in Every Detail
Descending below deck, the guest foyer provides a convenient spot for additional storage discretely situated across from the laundry room, and branching out from this central point are four ensuite staterooms, each with its colors woven into a comprehensive theme that reflects the unique character of its respective space. The mirrored VIPs amidships, convertible twin to port, and VIP in the bow all feature bleached walnut panels and Dedar Amoir Libre wallcoverings, with darker walnut trimmings that show great attention to design. In all, the doors alone on this yacht feature eight distinct varieties of surface materials.
Positioned aft of the engine room housing the yacht’s twin 1,900hp CAT C32A engines, crew quarters for five, including a Captain’s cabin, and the crew mess are finished in silver oak. And equipped with Magnus Shore Power Converters as well as upgraded VEEM Superyacht propellers, this FD100 is adaptable to various international power supplies, opening up countless possibilities for exploration.
ABOVE
Accommodation on the lower deck comprises three VIP ensuites and a convertible twin cabin and can easily adapt to suit different groups, whether families or friends.
ABOVE Below deck, the guest foyer offers convenient storage space located across from the laundry room.
From the crew accommodations, access to the beach club is just a step up.
An area that opens to 180-degree views astern and primed for on-the-water enjoyment, the beach club’s decor and amenities, including a professional Dometic Eskimo ice maker and bait box, create a relaxing and cozy terrace-like ambience. Further enhancing the overall recreational experience, a Transformer system that can be easily raised or lowered on the swim platform allows for convenient access to water activities.
Speaking of outdoor spaces, the undercover aft deck a short hop up from the swim platform boasts everything required for easy entertaining. Perfectly arranged for sublime lounging, a Valdenassi Konfy modular sofa set that seats eight around a Hi-Lo, foldable and sliding table is accompanied by a wet bar to starboard and a 55-inch fold-up TV to port.

The main deck aft offers a great space for lounging (above and left), while the Transformer system on the swim platform allows for convenient access to water activities from the beach club (below and bottom).
Raising the Bar for R&R
Whether sunning or enjoying a bit of shade, the Tri-Deck is the place to be for sensational panoramic views. When viewed in profile, the Tri-Deck’s angled support pillars serve a dual purpose: providing structural integrity to the covered aft section while also contributing a distinctive and eye-catching design element. The Jacuzzi and sun pads are strategically positioned at the bow of this uppermost area of the yacht, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views. Complementing this setup is the undercover lounge comprising plush L-shaped seating and a retractable Hi-Lo TV that rotates to suit viewers from multiple vantage points, along with a comprehensive array of bar amenities.
Luxurious comfort extends to the boat deck just below, where the split-use skylounge maximizes the usable interior space. A clever design element is the use of wood-decorated horizontal-grain panels for the lifting screen and a hidden door between the skylounge and wheelhouse, which provides enhanced privacy without compromising the flow of the interior styling.
For large-group outdoor entertaining, the boat deck aft offers tantalizing options. The bar counter here showcases a unique wave-inspired design, incorporating clean white lines and subtle strip lighting to create a sophisticated yet relaxed lounge atmosphere. A thoughtful layout with freestanding furniture, comprising host chairs and an L-shaped sofa, offers flexibility for various entertainment setups.

Client customization requests have been pivotal to the evolution of Horizon’s Cor D. Rover-designed Fast Displacement (FD) Series, resulting in the development of numerous new models and configurations. With the launch of the FD90 Hull 32 cruising yacht in the U.S. market, Horizon showcases a fresh and inviting European style interior, meticulously designed to feel like a home at sea with a harmonious blend of practicality and elegance.
A warm-white color palette establishes a cozy, minimalist interior that resonates with comfort. Every detail has been curated to reflect the owner’s personal tastes, with careful consideration given to maximizing storage space without compromising on aesthetics. This refined European style reflects the artistic vision of its owner—an exceptional designer whose eye for detail and spatial harmony elevated every aspect of the yacht’s layout and aesthetic. Ultimately, this well-planned approach resulted in a merger of functionality and exquisite finishings, making the most of every available space.
Feature-Packed, Optimized Space
To optimize interior volume and fulfill owner preferences, the FD90 employs a highly adaptable framework, allowing for extensively personalized interior arrangements. Serving as a central hub for social gatherings, the main deck aft features an extendable, adjustable-height dining table with Dedon Seax armchairs for up to ten guests. A wet bar is discreetly located to starboard, accompanied by an owner-arranged wine cabinet and a subwoofer that elevates the dining experience.
Upon entering the salon, guests are greeted by the warm ambience created by four uniform light panels illuminating from the white-hued ceiling. A relaxed European home
atmosphere is given form by an inviting L-shaped sofa, which is matched with dark oak-colored furniture pieces, including a custom coffee table with extendable drawers and side tables. For contrasting embellishment, three Italian Minotti armchairs selected by the owner are incorporated into the design, with prominence given to the portside owner’s chair.
Further personalization is reflected in the dayhead on the main deck, which features custom cabinetry with vibrant tones, a design motif echoed in the pilothouse dayhead. All main interior spaces, including the salon and on-deck master and guest staterooms, are equipped with Hunter Douglas Duette® shades, adding a touch of timeless styling.
THESE PAGES Oak and a warm-white color palette feature as a unifying motif in the main deck living areas.
In the dining area, a distinctive frosted-glass light fixture from HG Atelier presides over the dining table and serves as a splendid centerpiece. The ten-seater dark oak dining table showcases a harmonious blend of horizontal and vertical wood grain and is complemented by sleek black metal legs that provide a solid presence. Courtesy of a Hi-Lo screen crafted from fabric laminated glass, the galley can be fully enclosed from
the dining area to provide guests with added privacy. Offering generous counter space and thoughtfully installed pull-out storage holds, the well-equipped galley blends seamlessly with the surrounding guest areas while reinforcing the overall design narrative with soothing hues, Cambria Ironsbridge stonework, and an overall familiar sense of homelike comfort.

The Art of Accommodation
Catering to ten guests across five staterooms, the onboard accommodations embody a design tailored to the owner’s vision. The hallmark full-beam master stateroom positioned forward on the main deck offers a private retreat, complete with a king-sized bed and cove lighting overhead that brings an air of serenity. A sofa to starboard and a vanity with a bespoke makeup box portside add utility to the space. The owner’s attention to detail is evident in the custom his-and-hers closets and the selection of Lo & Co’s Tubby Collection handles paired with upholstered panels in Ultraleather Tottori. Spacious his-and-hers ensuite amenities positioned forward include a grand shower with a Cambria Ella wall.
Transitioning to the lower deck, the entire staircase art wall features textured woven leather, beautifully illuminated by strip lights. In the guest foyer, storage space and a large washing machine and dryer specified by the owner are installed. A familiar home-away-from-home vibe weaves throughout the four ensuite staterooms, comprising mirrored VIPs amidships, a twin cabin to port, and a versatile forward VIP. Each is designed with specific storage needs in mind and features glossy white ceilings that accentuate a sense of volume.

On Deck, On Form
True to the FD Series’ reputation for superior outdoor relaxation, guests may be partial to lingering on the foredeck, luxuriating in the feel of the sun pads or enjoying alfresco dining from the U-shaped dinette. Here, the color scheme segues from dark to light and is enhanced by textured outdoor pillows, which add a touch of tactile warmth and comfort. This area comes equipped with its own sun awning for shading as desired.
The upper-deck configuration offers a dynamic and adaptable space. The wheelhouse exudes sophistication with two leather helm chairs, while a raised L-shaped dinette with a pull-out cushioned platform to port and a dayhead to starboard complete this fully enclosed area.
Through glass doors that glide open, the smooth transition to the split-use skylounge reveals a haven primed for entertainment. A U-shaped sofa with an extendable Hi-Lo table to starboard and four stools positioned around a full bar with a 43-inch fold-up TV to port occupy a shaded area ideal for leisurely gatherings. Further aft, sprawling outdoor sofas and ottomans with fold-out trays arranged for the best open-air vistas take center stage. Accompanying this setup is an array of outdoor amenities, including a 30-inch BBQ and chest freezer.
THESE PHOTOS Spacious deck areas offer a multitude of opportunities for outdoor gatherings.

Fit for Purpose
During the sea trials, the Captain flew to Kaohsiung to take part in the hands-on assessment. The engine room houses twin CAT C32A engines, delivering buttery-smooth performance of 1,900hp each for a maximum speed of 22 knots. Aft of the engine room, crew accommodations include a Captain’s cabin alongside a bunk cabin and a crew mess.
With aft crew quarters, there is easy access to the beach club and garage. Here, practicality and leisure converge, the layout fine-tuned to owner-specified requirements for additional storage while also accommodating a two-seater removable sofa and a rain shower.
The FD90 Hull 32 is a considered articulation of Horizon Yachts’ design philosophy: a marriage of venerable craftsmanship, the kind that only time can refine, and an insightful grasp of the home-on-the-water lifestyle.

Guests arrived on Sunday at the Auberge Resorts Collection Bowie House Hotel, a new luxe establishment of Horizon owner and avid art collector and championship horse breeder Jo Ellard. The warm welcome from the Bowie House staff included Smoked Old Fashioned cocktails upon check-in. The unique and inviting spaces of the hotel and nearly 500 art masterpieces on display provided guests with many places to relax and unwind while admiring the art and decor.
Sunday evening, Rendezvous festivities began with a cocktail party in the Bowie House Arcade Room, where guests arrived wearing Fort Worth cocktail attire and were gifted with leather duffel bags that included personalized scarves and Western belt buckles engraved with their Horizon boat name. Mingling and reconnecting with one another, guests gathered in the Silverton North Room to enjoy a gourmet-plated dinner featuring selections of corn risotto, Chilean sea bass, and roast beef fillet.

THESE PHOTOS Guests were gifted with Western-inspired swag to kick off the Horizon Yacht USA Owner Rendezvous 2025 at Bowie House in Fort Worth, Texas.
Monday morning, guests boarded buses to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo (FWSSR), where they attended a cutting horse demonstration at the historic Will Rogers Memorial Center and learned about the history of the cutting horse. Amazed at the horses’ athleticism, guests marveled at how the horse and rider worked together to impress the judges during the competition.
Building upon their immersion in Western heritage, guests ventured across the street to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, the only museum in the world dedicated to the women of the West. Museum staff served a delicious lunch in the domed rotunda, and guests explored the interactive exhibits and galleries that displayed the extraordinary courage and pioneer spirit of the trailblazing women of the West.
THIS PAGE Guests attended a cutting horse demonstration at the Will Rogers Memorial Center and toured the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.
After lunch, the FWSSR tour continued to the Dickie’s Arena, a state-of-theart venue for sports, concerts, community events, and the FWSSR performances. Designed in an Art Deco style to pay homage to the historic Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum, guests admired the architectural details, murals, and sculptures depicting the culture and history of Fort Worth and the American West.
As the afternoon’s exploration of the FWSSR and the historic grounds of the Will Rogers Memorial Center drew to a close, guests headed back to the hotel to don their cowboy hats and boots. They then returned to Dickie’s Arena for a lively experience at the FWSSR, where they watched the rodeo from VIP Party Suites as cowboys and cowgirls competed in events that included bareback riding, team roping, and bull riding.
The theme for the evening at the rodeo was Military Appreciation Day, paying tribute to the servicemen and women who have served in America’s armed forces. Highlights from the evening included a 99-year-old veteran who sang the National Anthem as well as the swearing in of Fort Worth military recruits.
From the arena, guests then made their way to the after-party tents and enjoyed a night of revelry to the tunes of a local bluegrass band.

Tuesday was Excursion Day, with a choice between curated tours of the Modern Art and Kimbell Art Museums, an Owner’s Experience VIP Guided Tour of the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium, or exploring Fort Worth on their own and enjoying the amenities at Bowie House.
Visits to the Modern Art Museum included a curated VIP Vault Tour, a gourmet lunch at Don Artemio’s Mexican Heritage Restaurant, and then a private, curated tour of the Kimbell Art Museum. These world-class museums displayed artworks from a vast historical period, alongside modern art from influential artists like Pablo Picasso and Philip Guston.
THIS PAGE Tours of the Modern Art and Kimbell Art Museums were followed by lunch at Don Artemio's Mexican Heritage Restaurant.
Guests who opted for the Owner’s Experience VIP Guided Tour at the AT&T Stadium enjoyed a delicious lunch in the private club, toured the private suite of Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones, stepped onto the field at the 50-yard line to toss the football and kick field goals, and visited some of the most exclusive areas inside the stadium, renowned as the largest dome structure in the world.
Arriving back at Bowie House after an eventful day, there were cocktails and an elaborate, buffet-style dinner waiting, complete with live music by a local R&B artist and dancing in the hotel bar.

Wednesday morning, guests gathered in the hotel lobby to board the bus for an exclusive lunch at the legendary Joe T. Garcia’s, where they were welcomed by a mariachi band and an elaborate buffet of authentic Mexican dishes. The lush gardens, beautiful decor, and welcoming atmosphere were the perfect setting for drinking margaritas and enjoying original, authentic Tex-Mex cuisine.
Next on the Fort Worth exploration tour was the Stockyards National Historic District, where the Old West came to life with a longhorn cattle drive, demonstrating what life was like on the cattle trail. The historic district is home to famous boot-making companies, Western-themed stores, museums, bars, and dance halls. Here, guests meandered along the weathered-brick roads and shopped for their own Western getup.

With the excitement of the historic cattle drive settled, it was back to Bowie House for a quick change into rugged Western attire for the Rendezvous Grand Finale, a Fort Worth Farewell. Stepping into the Silverton North Room, guests were instantly transported back in time to experience life on a Texas cattle ranch. Jo Ellard had outdone herself—the room was elaborately decorated with covered wagons, teepees, campfires, and a backdrop simulating the Texas landscape.
Dinner was served buffet style in covered wagons, and sitting at each round table were professional Texas ranchers and experts in the Texas cattle industry. Having selected their own storyteller, each Horizon owner enjoyed an immersive evening of storytelling, as individuals with deep roots in Texas ranching shared their stories, wisdom, and experiences, bridging the past and present of this iconic culture.
As the evening came to a close, a Western band provided the perfect soundtrack, with guests taking to the dance floor and slowly beginning to say their goodbyes. While the inland location of the Rendezvous may have been different this year, the deepening relationships among the owners created a sense of community and connection that will endure for years to come.
The careful planning and coordination that went into this “Knot Your Normal Rendezvous” event were evident in every detail, as Horizon Owner Jo Ellard and her staff at Bowie House, along with Danett and the Horizon Yachts team, worked together to deliver a truly unique and immersive experience that blended the best of luxury, adventure, and Texas culture.
The question now is, “Where to next year?” …

A Toast to the Delivery of LiTHIUM+
FD90 welcomed by her owners at Horizon headquarters.
YACHT NAME: LiTHIUM +
MODEL: FD90
OWNERS: Australia
The Horizon City Marina was abuzz with excitement as preparations were underway for the christening ceremony of the brand-new FD90 Hull 33, LiTHIUM+. The owners, three generations of one family, had traveled from Australia to Kaohsiung and were about to embark on a new chapter in their yachting journey, marking the launch of their second family yacht.
Stepping aboard, the owners were greeted with champagne and a sense of anticipation. As the ceremony progressed at the marina, the yacht’s majestic presence commanded the attention of all and inspired a collective sense of wonder and admiration.
The owners were presented with a beautiful bouquet and a selection of Horizon-branded items. But it was the intricately 3D-printed model of LiTHIUM+ that captured the moment. This miniature masterpiece, crafted by Horizon’s engineers, served as a bespoke vessel for a thoughtfully curated selection of WE by Weightstone Clairet Cuvée No. 5, a distinguished red wine sourced from a local winery in Taiwan.
A heartwarming moment was when a Jellycat Bunny was presented to the youngest family member, a delightful gesture and reminder that this yacht was not just a vessel, but a home away from home, where memories would be created and cherished for generations to come.

KAIROS
The timing was perfect for the owners of this brand-new Horizon PC60 when the feature they wanted most in a yacht was already in the planning stages at the shipyard.
OWNER EXPERIENCE
“At first, we hadn't considered building a PC60 because it was larger than we envisioned and lacked the bow seating we really wanted.” Jeff and Jennifer Kelly are seated in the flybridge of their very first power catamaran, the Horizon PC60 Kairos, which made its world debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. It was a special moment for both the Kellys and Horizon Power Catamarans, this PC60 being the first to feature a Portuguese Deck configuration.
“Kairos,” derived from the Greek word meaning “opportune time,” refers to a moment when divine intervention or purpose aligns with a particular situation, leading to the realization of something new. The path that led the Kellys to their own Kairos was one of serendipity and, indeed, divine intervention. It all began when the Kellys became friends with another boating family and were introduced to, as Jennifer describes it, “the world of spend-the-night-boats.”
The Kellys spent a year researching and narrowing down their options, even joining their friends for the 2022 Horizon Powercat Owners’ Rendezvous in Harbour Island. Yet, the PC60 felt like a dreamboat that might be out of reach. “We don’t marina hop and often spend weeks at anchor,” says Jennifer. “We wanted bow seating because that’s where the breeze is nicest and the views are best. We also envisioned a comfortable seating area with a table, so we initially ruled out the Horizon Powercat, as the only model with bow seating at the time was the new PC68.”
The Kellys attended the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show with the intent of making the final decision, their options having narrowed down to a couple of brokerage monohulls. “We stopped by the Horizon Power Catamaran booth to say hello, and Richard was waiting for us with a smile,” says Jeff. “We looked at the PC52, the PC60, and the PC68. I knew I could comfortably handle the PC60, but it didn’t have the bow seating we were after. Richard looked at me and said, ‘Well, what if I can make that bow seating happen?’ He had already been thinking about adding the Portuguese Deck to the PC60. He showed me the sketch and I took the bait.”
THESE PHOTOS
The Kellys got a taste of the Horizon Powercat Life during the Owners' Rendezvous.
THESE PHOTOS
The Kellys weren't planning to purchase a powercat, but when they visited Horizon during FLIBS they struck an agreement.
"We never had building a boat on our radar, but Horizon made the process very enjoyable."
“We never had building a boat on our radar,” says Jennifer. “But Horizon Power Catamarans made the process very enjoyable.”
“Richard told us we would have the opportunity to visit the boat in Taiwan, do a sea trial, and see the shipyard,” says Jeff. “We were 100% in. We are in the manufacturing business; we build components, and I love to see how things are made.”
When the boat was launched, the Kellys traveled to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where they received a warm welcome from Horizon and the team at the Vision shipyard. “They took us to the Horizon City Marina, where they had staged our boat and surprised us with a christening party—it was fantastic,” says Jeff.
Before sea trials, the Kellys toured the Horizon facilities. “Austin [Lin] took the time to show us around, and we were able to express our appreciation for the incredible craftsmanship,” Jeff recalls. “The millwork, especially the burl wood inlays we requested, was flawless—every seam and grain lined up perfectly. We also had the chance to meet the team who worked on our boat, and I was able to personally thank each of them.”
Another standout aspect of working with Horizon was the hands-on training Jeff received at the shipyard—two full days dedicated to learning every system onboard. Horizon brought in representatives from each vendor to provide in-depth instruction. “They started with, ‘Do you know how to turn on the TV?’ and we went from there,” Jeff recalls. “Air conditioning, watermaker, electronics, navigation, entertainment, audio-visual—everything was covered. They even helped us customize the electronics. It was all part of the Horizon ownership experience.”
Kairos is a four-stateroom boat, and the Kellys opted for the on-deck master stateroom layout. Entering from the aft deck, with its dining table and built-in settee, the main interior living space features a large, open-concept galley with an island bar and three stools to starboard and a welcoming U-shaped lounge to port. Forward on this deck, the master stateroom spans the full 24-foot, 6-inch beam and is bathed in natural light from expansive wraparound windows. The starboard hull houses a VIP stateroom forward and a twin aft, while the port hull houses the master ensuite forward and a second twin aft.

The four-stateroom Kairos features an on-deck master, which is situated forward of the spacious salon.
“I’m also able to call Leigh and ask all types of questions, from provisioning to where to store the dishes,” says Jennifer. “She even went shopping with me! It was a great experience with Leigh and Richard setting the boat up for living and cruising. They’ve done this all their lives and are more than willing to mentor a new owner, which we really appreciated.”
One of the key selling points for the Kellys was the PC60’s Silent Living feature, which combines Victron’s advanced lithium phosphate battery system with the Termodinamica variable-speed air conditioning to deliver up to 20 hours of generator-free comfort. To further enhance efficiency, they opted to install additional solar panels capable of generating 2.5kW during daylight hours to support the battery system. “We experienced it during the shakedown cruise, and it was incredible,” says Jeff. “Enjoying a completely quiet dinner under the stars, with soft music playing and the gentle sound of water lapping around us—it felt almost surreal. It was something we’d never experienced before.”
Now, sitting in their favorite spot in the flybridge, the Kellys say that every step that led them to Horizon Power Catamarans and to their dream yacht was just that, Kairos
Keep an eye out for Kairos as she heads from the Horizon Powercat Owners’ Rendezvous in Key West to the Ragged Island, Exumas, and Abacos islands this summer. Congratulations, Jeff and Jennifer!

2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show A New Location and New PC60 Design for Horizon Power Catamarans
Horizon Power Catamarans made a splash at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show, unveiling a brand new location and exclusive HPC Dock. The highlight of the head-turning showcase? The world premiere of the first-ever PC60 with a Portuguese Deck configuration.
Christened Kairos, this new PC60 was built for first-time Horizon owners seeking a power catamaran with bow seating. The popularity of the Portuguese Deck design aboard the Horizon PC68 inspired the layout of the redesigned PC60 and the new configuration was a hit.
"Our new location was a major attraction, but the overwhelmingly positive response to the PC60’s versatile and now optional Portuguese Deck seating area and semi-enclosed flybridge truly stood out. This adaptability further solidifies the model’s lasting appeal," says Richard Ford, Founder and CEO of The Powercat Company.

Much anticipation surrounds Horizon Yachts’ participation in the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) taking place May 22–25, 2025. Pier G is the prime location where Horizon is bringing its A-game for a show that’s set to spark much excitement.
With over 43,000 visitors, 330 exhibitors, 760 boats, and 2,500 marine products, SCIBS stands as Australia’s preeminent aquatic lifestyle exhibition. A remarkable collection of Horizon luxury yachts showcasing innovation, performance, and bespoke design awaits.

To top it off, more details on the FD100 Skyline will be revealed.
Leading Horizon’s display are three stunning builds. First off, the FD90 Hull 30 is a fast-cruising yacht that blends contemporary design and spacious living and features a five-stateroom layout, including the hallmark full-beam master stateroom on the main deck and four generous guest rooms on the
lower deck. The interior design follows a Wabi-Sabi aesthetic that celebrates simplicity and natural imperfections, which is augmented by an elegant combination of gold fixtures and white accents. The expansive split-use skylounge on the bridge deck offers a versatile entertainment space, complete with a bar, teppanyaki station, and Jacuzzi tub.
FD90 SKYLINE
Next up is the FD80 Hull 12, which marked a milestone for Horizon in Australia, being its second AMSA 2C-compliant yacht. With an adaptable layout suitable for both private and charter use, the main deck features floor-to-ceiling windows and a modern koto wood-refined interior. The full-beam master stateroom features a skylight, while the lower deck houses three ensuite staterooms. For ultimate relaxation and entertainment, the skylounge and bridge deck aft offer a U-shaped sofa, dining table, and a heated Jacuzzi with a bar counter. Other standout features include a hydraulic folding radar mast for seamless bridge cruising and a ceiling engineered to support a one-ton helicopter.
Adding variety to the lineup is the V74, a sleek and modern design featuring an enclosed skylounge configuration with a spacious four-stateroom layout. Her plumb bow design and bold exterior profile are by Stimson Yachts, while the luxurious

Wraparound side decks and the foredeck lounging area offer plenty of convenient amenities for enjoying the outdoors, while the beach club and a Hi-Lo swim platform facilitate water activities. Prioritizing comfort and functionality within a compact framework, the V74 is well-positioned as a market leader in its size category.
Together with these headliners, visitors can also look forward to a selection of outstanding brokerage yachts, including the FD75 Hull 4, which was the first FD75 sold in Australia and the first to feature an enclosed skylounge, and the RP125, the largest Horizon yacht sold in Australia and noteworthy for her low engine hours.
