FD75 Open Bridge: Spaciousness from the Start
Stepping onto the main deck of the entry-level FD75 Open Bridge, guests are greeted by the luxurious splendor of the salon, galley, and dining area. Accommodations include a master stateroom and three guest staterooms for up to eight guests, with crew quarters positioned aft of the engine compartment. The bridge deck features outdoor entertainment amenities such as a bar, sofa, and BBQ facility, ideal for relaxation and socializing. Dual helm stations cater to owners who prefer independent piloting in various weather conditions.
FD80 Skyline: A Top Seller with Exceptional Amenities
According to Boat International’s Global Order Book (GOB), the FD80 has been the best-selling 80-to-89-foot yacht for the past decade. It boasts four en suite staterooms, including a full-beam master stateroom on the main deck with stunning sea views. The upper deck can accommodate a 200-cm Jacuzzi, and the wheelhouse roof can be fitted with a landing pad for a two-seat helicopter. The aft deck includes living quarters for four crew members and a well-equipped beach club. The FD80’s impressive amenities set a new standard for entry-level yachts in this class.
FD90 Skyline: Supreme Versatility
The FD90 Skyline is the most popular model in the FD Series, with over 25 vessels built. The main deck aft seamlessly transitions into the indoor salon and formal ten-person dining area. The forward cabin layout can be tailored to accommodate four or five en suites, typically featuring a full-beam master stateroom on the main deck. The upper deck offers flexible design options for the wheelhouse and skylounge layout, with various enclosed or open arrangements available. The beach club includes seascape-facing sofas, a bar, and ample storage for water toys.
FD100 Tri-Deck: The Rise of the Third Deck
The FD100 model introduces a Tri-Deck configuration, offering a lightweight open flybridge atop the bridge deck. This arrangement, developed with experienced owners, includes options such as a sundeck, helm station, dining table, or Jacuzzi. The Tri-Deck design is technically demanding, requiring meticulous attention to structure and weight distribution to ensure cruising speed and stability are not compromised. This makes the third deck a highly desirable feature of the FD100.
FD110: Space, Reimagined
The FD110 showcases Horizon’s ability to optimize interior space. Customized refinements to the lower deck layout of guest staterooms, crew quarters, the engine room, and the beach club are made per owner requirements for greater privacy. Each yacht features tailored hull, structure, power, and interior engineering to achieve the desired spatial flow. The FD110 Tri-Deck variant is also highly sought-after.
Define Your Horizon
Having built more than 60 FD Series yachts, Horizon continues to refine the art of space optimization. Bespoke skylounge configurations bring the owner’s vision to life, and minor adjustments to the hull mold have increased the beam of the latest FD Series yachts, providing more interior space without compromising speed and stability.
Currently in the design stage, the FD130 superyacht will feature six staterooms, double salons, and a sizeable galley in its standard layout. Drawing on extensive build experience, the FD130 represents a significant scale-up in volume and spatial layout. Design renderings have been published, heralding its imminent debut.
