Horizon Yachts has introduced the FD80 Hull 16, the first in its Fast Displacement (FD) Series to feature a fishing cockpit. Designed for a passionate New Zealand boating couple, the yacht seamlessly blends luxury and practicality, offering a four-stateroom-plus-crew layout with abundant entertaining spaces tailored for avid anglers.
Named Amethyst in honor of the owners’ February birthstone, the yacht features unique details reflecting their love of fishing. A custom dining table on the main deck aft incorporates an anchor motif with amethyst inlay, complementing top-loading fridge-freezers conveniently placed for easy access.

Inside, water-bleached walnut tones and bespoke features evoke an undersea aesthetic, including backlit custom mullion panels inspired by ocean life.
The open-style galley is a standout with heated Michelangelo quartzite flooring, a large island, and a cohesive design that enhances functionality and elegance.
Below deck, the three VIP ensuite staterooms—Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald—each boast unique color themes and versatile layouts. The bow stateroom features rotating beds that convert between twins and a double, catering to diverse guest needs.
The skylounge, enclosed for comfort in New Zealand’s climate, leads to a boat deck complete with a circular Jacuzzi, Corian white onyx bar counter, and seating for socializing. Horizon Yacht Australia director Mark Western praised the collaboration with the owners, stating, “The result is a vessel crafted to enable them to embark on adventures and experience the exhilaration of reeling in large catches.”
