Horizon’s FD Series: Reimagining Expansive Living in a Class of Its Own

Horizon Yachts continues to set the bar for luxury yacht customization with its groundbreaking FD Series. Since its debut in 2016 with the FD85 Raised Pilothouse, this fast displacement line has captivated owners and enthusiasts alike with its unprecedented spaciousness and versatility. A collaboration with renowned yacht designer Cor D. Rover, the FD Series has seen nearly 70 vessels built, ranging from 75 to 130 feet and offering a variety of customized interior and exterior designs. Every model in the series offers a blank canvas for experienced owners and discerning buyers to create their ideal yacht, seeking to explore diverse layouts and bespoke aesthetics.

Unparalleled spaciousness is a defining hallmark of the FD Series. Visitors to FD Series yachts at boat shows around the world are consistently in awe of the magnanimous volume unmatched by comparable builds on the market. This is a testament to the ingenuity and outstanding R&D capabilities of Horizon’s engineering team and their experience in customization discussions with owners, enabling the expression of exquisite naval architecture in every detail.

FD75 Open Bridge: Spaciousness from the Start

From the moment you step onto the main deck of the entry-level FD75 Open Bridge, you are greeted by the large, luxurious splendor of the salon, galley, and dining area. Up to eight guests are comfortably accommodated within the master and three guest staterooms, while crew living quarters are positioned aft of the engine compartment. The bridge deck, complete with outdoor entertainment amenities, a bar, sofa, and BBQ facility, provides the perfect setting for relaxation and socializing. Additionally, dual interior and exterior helm stations cater to owners who prefer independent piloting in all weather conditions. 

 FD80 Skyline: A Top Seller with Exceptional Amenities

As the best-selling 80-to-89-foot yacht according to Boat International’s authoritative Global Order Book (GOB) for the past decade, the FD80 is a formidable offering. With four en suites, it includes the signature full-beam master stateroom on the main deck, which enjoys stunning views of the seascape. In terms of the exterior, the upper deck can accommodate a 200-cm Jacuzzi, while the top of the wheelhouse can also be fitted with a landing pad for a two-seat helicopter. The aft deck houses living quarters for four crew members and a well-equipped beach club. This 80-foot yacht’s impressive array of amenities sets a new standard for entry-level vessels in this class, strongly resonating with discerning owners.

 FD90 Skyline: Supreme Versatility

The FD90 Skyline is the most popular in the acclaimed FD Series, with over 25 vessels built to date. From the main deck aft, the welcoming reception area 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 and, optionally, a combined laundry and storage room on the lower deck, alongside VIP or twin staterooms, depending on owner preferences. The upper deck offers considerable flexibility in designing the wheelhouse and split-use skylounge layout. Owners can opt for a versatile configuration, choosing from various enclosed or open arrangements for the lounge area, or alternatively, extend the skylounge across the full beam of the vessel. Flexibility is also echoed in the placement of the Jacuzzi, which can be installed aft or in the foredeck according to the owner’s preference. The beach club features seascape-facing sofas and a bar, as well as ample storage for water toys.

 FD100 Tri-Deck: The Rise of the Third Deck

Introduced in the FD100 model, the Tri-Deck offers a lightweight open flybridge atop the bridge deck, a configuration jointly developed with experienced owners. Whether the arrangement includes the open-air atmosphere of a sundeck, a helm station, a ten-seat dining table, or even a Jacuzzi, the selection is limited only by one’s imagination. The Tri-Deck is technically demanding, necessitating meticulous attention to structure and weight distribution while ensuring that cruising speed and stability are not compromised. Due to this technical complexity, yachts in this class rarely have a three-deck design, making the third deck a highly desirable feature of the FD100.

FD110: Space, Reimagined

With the successful delivery of several FD110s, Horizon’s design and engineering teams have gone above and beyond in fully optimizing the interior space. The generous volume of the series lends itself to more possibilities for an owner’s vision and the creativity of Horizon’s designers. Customized refinements to the lower deck layout of guest staterooms, crew quarters, the engine room, and the beach club have been done as per owner requirements for greater privacy. Each yacht incorporates a tailored hull, structure, power, and interior engineering to achieve the owner’s desired spatial flow. And as with the FD100, the FD110 Tri-Deck variant is also much sought-after.

 Define Your Horizon

Having constructed nearly 70 FD Series yachts to date, Horizon continues to refine the art of optimizing interior and exterior space usage. Bespoke skylounge configurations bring to life the owner’s vision for the upper deck space. Furthermore, minor adjustments to the hull mold have enabled Horizon to increase the beam of the newest FD Series yachts, providing owners with even more interior space without compromising overall speed and stability performance. Currently in the design stage, the FD130 superyacht will feature six staterooms, double salons, and a sizeable galley in its standard layout. Drawing upon extensive build experience, the FD130 is a magnificent scale-up not only in overall volume but also in comprehensively upgraded spatial layout. Design renderings have been published, heralding its imminent debut. For more information about Horizon Yachts’ models, please contact your local dealer or send an email to [email protected].
