Allied Marine has the Horizon 94 Widebody, Bad Daddy, listed at $2.499 million. This 2005 build underwent a refit in 2021, which included new soft goods as well as an updated décor. The yacht has charter potential with a three-stateroom layout and two cabins for crew.

According to Allied Marine, Bad Daddy is “an exquisite and sophisticated luxury motor yacht. The design of John Lindblom, with the input of a very experienced owner, assured that no detail was overlooked.”

The 2021 refit upgrades included the following:

• New mattresses and bedding throughout
• New sofa and carpeting
• New dining chairs
• New dining room chandelier

• Two new televisions (salon and aft deck)
• WiFi throughout
• New engine room carpeting
• New exterior paint
• Teak decks reconditioned
• New bottom paint

The salon is accented with Honeycombed Crèma Marfil marble soles, built-in mahogany cabinetry and satin-finish Makora African cherry showcased with interior joinery as well as accents of high-gloss Carpathian elm burl.

“The honeycomb core reduces weight, but still leaves the elegance only marble can provide. The striking appearance of the marble against the lustrous finish of the wood joinery is very appealing,” Allied Marine says.

Headroom throughout Bad Daddy ranges from 6 feet, 9 inches in the salon to an impressive 7 feet, 3 inches in the galley and the master stateroom, helping the volume of these areas feel like that of a larger vessel.

This Horizon 94 Widebody has a conventional salon layout with the lounge space aft and formal dining forward. Salong seating includes a sofa and two lounge chairs positioned around a glass coffee table. Forward, there is a wet bar with a red Sierra Chica granite top, ice maker and wine cooler, while the formal dining area has a varnished teak table with seating for six.

The galley has a number of meal-prep features and appliances, including:

• GE Profile 27-inch stainless-steel oven

• GE Profile four-burner recessed stove with granite cover
• Kohler recessed double stainless-steel sink
• Stainless-steel GE Profile microwave oven
• GE Profile stainless-steel dishwasher
• Instant hot water dispenser
• Garbage disposal
• Stowage

Entertainment zones on the flybridge are abundant. Starting aft, the area can be utilized for catching some rays by just adding a few chaise-style lounge chairs when the tender is deployed.  There is a Whirlpool spa and sun pad forward of the davit too. Amidships, and under the hardtop, is a four-stool bar to port and a U-shaped dinette to starboard. The helm station is forward with a single Stidd helm chair.

The cockpit has room for six to enjoy alfresco dining with the transom bench seat and fixed table aft, just pull up a few chairs. Forward, the foredeck has a sun pad abaft a built-in, forward-facing sofa.

Belowdecks there is a master suite amidships, which has a king berth with under-berth stowage, a built-in desk area, a flat-screen TV and an en suite head. The VIP stateroom has a queen berth with under-berth stowage, an en suite head and a flat-screen TV. The final guest stateroom has side-by-side single berths.

Crew quarters include a captain’s cabin and a crew cabin. The captain’s cabin has a double berth and the crew cabin has over-under single berths.

Twin Caterpillar 3412E diesels combine to produce 2,800 hp and push this 94-footer to a reported 15-knot top hop and 12-knot cruise speed.

Some other notable features on board Bad Daddy include:

• Simrad AP50 autopilot system
• B&G Network depth/speed system

Horizon Yachts launched the new FD108 tri-deck superyacht on Tuesday in what the company describes as a tour de force customized for entertainment and accommodation for groups of guests.

According to a press release from the Kaohsiung, Taiwan-based yacht building company, the new superyacht builds on the success of Horizon’s Ocean Lily–a FD75 flybridge model introduced in 2021. The 33-meter luxury vessel is the result of teamwork between a youthful owner’s flair, Horizon Yachts and interior design by yacht designer Cor D. Rover. 

“The repeat owner of [the] new tri-deck FD108 requested a number of customizations, resulting in a yacht that features one of the most unique layouts found on an FD Series yacht to date,” Lily Li, marketing coordinator at Horizon Yachts, told Yachting. “Flexibility in design and construction is one of the distinctive features that distinguishes Horizon from other yacht builders and allows for each yacht to suit the individual owner’s lifestyle. We are happy to build another dream yacht for this owner again!”

Crafted with precise attention to detail, the FD108 blends luxurious living with a plethora of entertainment options. Large sliding glass doors welcome guests into the full-beam skylounge, a dedicated karaoke room with oversized sofas, an 85-inch TV and a BMB karaoke sound system. The entire salon is surrounded by sole-to-ceiling windows.

A table comfortably seats 14 for  dining, accompanied by a teppanyaki BBQ grill and other professional-grade galley equipment to starboard. The pilot house incorporates a captain’s cabin–a rare feature in Horizon’s FD series. On the foredeck, U-shaped seating and foldable sun pads are available for a day of sunbathing. The on-deck master stateroom features a hostess dressing table and a Hästens mattress along with natural light from the forward deck.

The FD108’s twin MAN V-12 engines boast 2,000 horsepower each, and its Twin Sole diesel generators provide 59 kW of electricity to power hotel loads when away from the dock. The yacht is equipped with a swim platform, a gym and laundry room, and four en suite staterooms equipped with a combination of queen-size beds and bunks to accommodate the growing cruising family.

Regal by definition means ‘suitable for a king.’ And Status Quo, a Horizon Yachts Premier 130 listed with Atlantic Yacht & Ship Inc. for $8.749 million, is a tri-deck superyacht that fits the definition.

The 2009 build saw refits in 2017 and 2021. Some of the work included updating the interior styling, increasing the stabilizer size, a superstructure paint job, a full hull paint job, refinishing wood floors, new carpet throughout, new appliances and more.

Status Quo could make a solid charter offering thanks to the yacht’s variety of entertainment spaces, inside and outside, across three decks and its six-stateroom layout that accommodates 12 guests.

The suite boasts a hand-crafted, walk-around king-size berth, an en suite head, walk-in closets and volume-enhancing windows. The sense of luxury carries to the staterooms belowdecks, especially the VIP stateroom, which Atlantic Yacht & Ship Inc. says “would comfortably serve as the master on many yachts of similar size.” The forward VIP stateroom has a king berth with a hand-crafted silk headboard, a marble-finished foyer and an en suite head. The four remaining en suite staterooms consist of two queen-berth staterooms and two twin-berth staterooms.

Stepping into the salon, guests will appreciate the classically styled interior with rich, dark cabinets and wall paneling accented with detailed inlay, contrasted by light ceilings, furniture and carpets. The marble and onyx soles and countertops add to the sense of opulence.

Status Quo has a conventional salon layout with a lounge space aft and formal dining forward. Aft, two three-person sofas are positioned around a decorative glass-top coffee table to port with a three-person bar directly to starboard, while views through the picture windows lining the salon make the whole space feel voluminous. Forward, a circular dining table with room for 10 to 12 people offers a next-level dining experience.

Past the forward bulkhead is the well-appointed galley, featuring state-of-the-art appliances and enough stowage for extended voyages. Appliances include a full-size refrigerator and freezer, two sinks, a cooktop, an oven and a microwave and a convection oven.

Heading aft from the salon leads to the cockpit where guests will find seating at the transom as well as a fixed table and loose chairs, forming one of two outside alfresco dining locations aboard Status Quo.

Status Quo‘s bridge deck is an extremely flexible entertainment space with the pilothouse forward, the skylounge amidships and the open-air deck aft. Seating can be found in all three zones from the dinette in the pilothouse, to the sofa and four-person bar in the skylounge, to the loose furniture, fixed bench seat and lounge pad on the aft deck. 

Up one level, sun deck social zones include a U-shaped dinette for alfresco dining, a four-person bar­ if drinks are desired, a lounge pad, a Jacuzzi and a space for loose chaise chairs in case guests need additional sun-soaking space.

Twin 1,825 hp Caterpillar C32 diesels power the 130-foot superyacht to a 16-knot top speed and a 12-knot cruise speed. Reported range at cruise speed is 1,600 nautical miles.

Status Quo accommodates eight crew with a captain’s cabin on the bridge deck and three additional crew cabins belowdecks. which can be accessed via the transom door or from the portside main deck companionway.

With the ability to deliver home-size volumes in an owner-operator footprint, deliver a solid bluewater ride, speed when desired and long range for cruising enthusiasts, power catamarans have hit the mainstream yachting audience in a big way in recent years. And this Horizon Power Catamarans 52 called Bonkers can do all of the above.

Bonkers is listed with The Powercat Company for $1.595 million. The 2016 build can sleep six thanks to its three-stateroom layout.

This open-water capable powercat has one-piece hull lamination and longitudinal stringers for added backbone, and the hull is built with the trademarked SCRIMP process for improved strength without added weight. It also has a high-density, foam-cored construction for the bottom and topsides, solid fiberglass laminate for the stem and keel, and high-density foam-cored stringers for the power cat’s Cummins diesels. For strength with reduced top weight, Horizon Power Catamarans uses foam-cored reinforcement in the deck and superstructure. Bonkers also had an international anti-fouling bottom paint job with an anti-osmosis treatment in 2023.

Twin 550 hp Cummins QSB 6/7 diesel engines power Bonkers, delivering an economical cruising speed of 8 knots, an 18-knot typical cruise speed and a 21-knot top-end speed. The 52-foot power cat will see a 400-nautical-mile range at 18 knots, a 1,000-nautical-mile range at 8 knots and a maximum range of 1,780 nautical miles at just under 5 knots.

One More Time, a 2020 Horizon Yachts FD80, is currently listed with Yatco with an asking price of $6.5 million. The 2020 Fast Displacement model is penned for long-range cruising comfort and has notable speed too.

For those who are seeking a motor yacht that can go long distances and have spirited performance as well, One More Time is powered by optional twin 1,200 hp MAN V-8 diesels, a setup Yachting originally reported provides a 20-knot top hop. The MAN diesels burn just 6.9 gallons per hour at 8.5 knots, giving the FD80 a range of 3,248 nautical miles. At 13 knots, fuel burn is 57 gallons per hour and provides a 630-nautical-mile range. It’s worth noting that One More Time‘s engines were last serviced in December 2023.

“The FD in FD80 stands for fast-displacement hull, and the boat has Horizon’s high-performance piercing bow. The hull has a soft chine at amidships that Horizon says makes it slicker in the water and a hard chine forward that increases lift. The bow design is meant to cut cleanly through the water while stretching out the yacht’s underwater length.”

Near sole-to-ceiling windows run the length of this 80-footer’s salon, allowing for natural light and light, neutral tones to create a sense of warmth and volume. Two loose chairs, a coffee table and an L-shaped sofa provide seating for guests to port. A three-person bar to starboard converts to a more formal six-person dining table.

One More Time’s galley is forward of the salon, separated by a three-person bar that doubles as an island for the galley. There is enough counter space for the chef and crew to prepare meals side-by-side. The galley can be completely closed off from the salon via a drop-down window at the countertop and then closing the galley’s doors. The galley is equipped with a Sub-Zero full-size refrigerator with freezer drawers, a pantry with Sub-Zero freezer drawers underneath, a Miele oven and cooktop, a Bosch microwave and range hood, a Miele dishwasher, a Blanco double sink with a garbage disposal and a KitchenAid trash compactor.

The full-beam, main-deck master stateroom is located forward of the galley. The master stateroom has a king berth, a sofa to port, a walk-in closet, an en suite head with a glass-enclosed shower and a 49-inch, flat-screen TV. Rectangular windows on either side pair with a skylight that runs nearly the full length of the stateroom for natural light.

The other sleeping accommodations reside belowdecks where guests will find three en suite staterooms. The forepeak VIP stateroom has a queen berth. The VIP stateroom to port also has a queen berth. The final guest stateroom is to starboard with twin berths that slide together to form a queen berth. All of the guest staterooms have 32-inch flat-screen TVs and stowage space for extended cruising.

Up top, the partially enclosed flybridge has an L-shaped sofa and fixed table to port, abaft the two-seat upper helm station. The aft area of the flybridge has a Whirlpool spa and enough room to add loose furniture to catch a sunset with friends, illustrating this area’s entertainment mission. Forward of the house is a bench seat and a two-person sun pad. Users can shade the area when it’s time to cool off, but too soon to go inside.

When it comes to the FD80’s other outside spaces, guests will enjoy the teak-clad cockpit with a bench seat and a fixed table, all protected under the flybridge overhang. Add five loose chairs and there’s alfresco dining for eight.

Stairs flanking the transom lead down to the hydraulic swim platform. Open the transom door for the full beach club experience.

Some other notable features on board this Horizon Yachts FD80 include two 28 kW Onan generators with sound shield, (Port: 413 / Stbd: 661 hours as of December 2023), Gamin electronics with four GPSMAP 8617 17-inch multifunction displays, 72-nm, six-foot open-array radar and Fantom 4 four-foot solid-state open-array radar, KVH TracVision HD7, a TracPhone V7-IP Empty Dome, a SAT phone pre-wire only, a cellular router system with wifi onboard, a Fusion Marine stereo system and a Maxwell VC3500 windlass.

From the Yachting Archive: Reviewed: Horizon Yachts FD80

“Confused 4-foot swells crisscrossed the ocean’s surface—a desirable field to see if the FD80 could play ball. It turns out, she can. At that 13-knot cruise speed, she ran quietly and her hull provided soft landings in even the deepest troughs. She was also nimble for a beamy boat that displaces 174,160 pounds. At her fast cruise speed, I turned her hard over to port and starboard in less than a single boat length. That kind of handling is something you’re more likely to see from a 35-foot RIB than from an 80-foot motoryacht.” – Yachting, January 2020

The 2022 Horizon Yachts E81, Valiant, is listed with OneWater Yacht Group and it just saw a $590,000 price drop. The new asking price is $4.99 million. This cruise-ready, family-size skylounge motor yacht has a three-stateroom, three-head layout, an office, a day head and low hours on its Caterpillar diesels.

Stepping into the cockpit guests will immediately notice the alfresco dining space. There’s seating for up to eight with a three-person sofa set against the transom, a fixed table and loose chairs.

Stairs to port lead to the 81-footer’s skylounge. The outdoor space aft has real estate to stow a tender. This vessel’s tender is a 2021 Walker Bay Venture 14 Dinghy with a 70 hp Yamaha outboard, and it’s included with the sale. There is also a grill, a wet bar, an L-shaped settee and two lounge chairs. The skylounge is accessed via a glass door. A three-person bar with fixed stools and a fold-down flat-screen TV are to port with a C-shaped booth with a table directly across. The two-seat helm station is forward and to starboard and has clean sightlines.

Sliding glass doors off the cockpit lead to an open-plan salon. Seating in the salon includes a U-shaped settee and coffee table to starboard and two lounge chairs to port, creating a comfortable spot for casual conversation. All the way forward is an open country galley. There are unobstructed views from the sliding glass doors through to the country galley.

The galley is equipped with a Sub-Zero 424 wine cooler, a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and Jenn-Air appliances, including a refrigerator, electric cooktop and a microwave/convection oven, everything a cruising family needs for prepping meals large and small. A U-shaped dinette with glass table is forward and there are a pair of stools for overflow at the galley’s countertop.

The Horizon E81’s three staterooms and office are all belowdecks. The owners’ stateroom is amidships with a king-size berth and an en suite head, which has an inlaid porcelain sink, marble countertops and backsplashes, and marble soles in all the heads and shower rooms. The forepeak VIP has a centerline queen berth and an en suite head. There is a starboard guest stateroom with twin berths and an en suite head. The office space is to port and forward of the master stateroom.

Wide teak side decks with high bulwarks safely transit guests from the cockpit to the foredeck, which has a U-shaped settee and fixed table abaft a two-person sun pad with a backrest. If it gets too hot, simply pull the sun shade out. This space offers a quiet getaway from noise at the quay.

Twin 1,700 hp Caterpillar C32 diesels provide power for Valiant, giving it a reported 26-knot top hop. At a reported 21-knot cruising speed, the big diesels burn 140 gallons per hour. Dial back the throttles to a displacement cruising speed of 10 knots, and fuel burn falls off precipitously to a miserly 28 gallons per hour. At 10 knots, range is about 707 nautical miles when considering a 10 percent reserve on the E81’s 2,200-gallon fuel capacity. At cruise speed, range is about 297 nautical miles.

Built for extended open-water cruising, the Horizon Yachts E81 is constructed via the SCRIMP infusion process with high-density foam core for the bottom, topsides and engine stringers. All of the yacht’s interior structural components are bonded to the hull. The end result is a stout, bluewater build without excessive weight that enhances overall performance.

Valiant comes with a full Garmin suite of navigation electronics, including three GPSMAP 8622 22-inch Glass Bridge MFDs with g3 Charts, two SD Card Readers, an HDMI Cable for GPSMAP to display on TV’s, a GSD 25 Premium Sonar Module, a Chirp-M, a Bronze LP 12 tilt, GMR Fantom 126 radar with 6-foot Array, a GMR 24 xHD 4KW, a 24-inch closed dome, autopilot and more.

Other notable features on board Valiant include a GOST Apparition Security monitoring and surveillance package, two 29 kW/60 Hz Onan generators and a hydraulic swim platform.

Where is Valiant located? The yacht is currently lying in Miami, Florida.

The post Price Improvement for Horizon Yachts E81 appeared first on Yachting.

Horizon Yachts’ Fast Displacement yacht series, penned by designer Cor D. Rover, is notable for its broad shoulders and high freeboard. These yachts carry measurable beam forward to enhance interior and exterior volume, with a wave-splitting bow design and admirable performance across a wide spectrum of speeds.

The latest launch in the series, which runs from 75 feet to 125 feet length overall, is the FD110 Tri-Deck. In profile, this yacht is nicely balanced across its three well-proportioned levels. Rover uses all available real estate not only to carry exterior lines evenly, but also to get the most out of the living and stowage spaces. Structural glass across all decks helps to lower the vessel’s profile visually while providing natural light inside.

As just one example of how large the interior feels, the salon has a whopping 87-inch TV in the after starboard quarter, and the screen seems small. Side sliding doors measuring 71 inches high provide ocean vistas from the formal dining space. Blackout curtains help control lighting and privacy.

A plush L-shaped sofa to port is accented by a tiered coffee table and several barrel chairs. Each seat has a view of the TV. Low-profile cabinetry housing the china divides the salon from the wood dining table that seats 10 on high-back, swivel chairs. With an open design concept, the entire area is airy, welcoming and set up for entertaining.

The interior is contemporary and warm, aided in part by washed wenge wood with oak and walnut accents. Want something different? The builder offers owners a high level of customization when it comes to woods, finishes, furnishings and the like.

Forward, the galley can be closed off during provisioning and meal prep, and then opened for service. That means closing not only the doorways, but also the center counter facing the salon, where an actuated opaque glass wall can be raised and lowered. Eight fridge and freezer drawers, along with a full-height refrigerator, allow plenty of space for provisions for extended voyages. A Miele four-burner cooktop and convection oven, a Wolf microwave and a dishwasher are here, with stowage that includes a 78-inch-high pullout pantry. A center island adds counter space for prep and plating.

An on-deck master stateroom is forward with a centerline king berth, a starboard sofa and, to port, a lighted vanity that doubles as a desk. This space is a whisper-quiet escape from the crowd. Rectangular side windows flank the berth, bringing in natural light and providing unobstructed ocean views. Forward is the his-and-hers head with a central rain shower.

Guest accommodations include four staterooms belowdecks that are accessed by a single staircase and foyer. Mirrored VIP staterooms with queen berths are amidships with 32-inch TVs and en suite heads. Hullside windows with portholes allow light into the lower deck. Stowage is in drawers, vanities, walk-in closets and nightstands.

The guest stateroom to port has twin berths that slide together for couples, an en suite head and a 32-inch flat-screen TV. A VIP guest stateroom is in the forepeak with a queen berth and an en suite head.

There are options for the stateroom locations, as well as crew quarters. Crew spaces can be abaft the engine room or forward of the guest staterooms, which means removing the VIP. In either configuration, there’s a captain’s cabin and two twin-berth cabins for crew, all en suite. Another nice touch is the yacht’s separate laundry room with a Miele washer and dryer, counter space for folding, and stowage for supplies.

The seemingly endless-space concept hits stride on the yacht’s aft deck. Surrounding a teak dining table are a transom bench seat and three cushioned sofas. A two-tiered bar with twin fixed bar stools to starboard is an elegant inclusion.

Up in the pilothouse on the sky-lounge deck, three Stidd helm chairs allow the captain and crew, or guests, to keep eyes on the operations. The helm console has four 24-inch Garmin GPSMap multifunction displays, Simrad autopilot, two Garmin VHF radios, PTZ cameras and more. Side doors lead to the deck wing stations for docking. Abaft the helm seats is a sofa for more guests to enjoy the bird’s-eye view of the surroundings.

Abaft the pilothouse—which can be closed off with pocket doors and a high-low privacy screen—is the sky lounge. Relaxing on the L-shaped sofa or barrel chairs, guests will find a cozy space for an afternoon nap or to catch the game on the 55-inch TV. A wine chiller is here, along with a unit housing a fridge, a freezer, an ice maker and a sink. A day head is in the after corner.

Out the aft doors is yet another lounge area with a sofa and a table, and room for personal watercraft on dedicated cradles. For more water-toy space, there is a 2,500-pound-capacity hydraulic swim platform, as well as a 2,500-pound davit. To make room for all that gear and tender management, Horizon put the hot tub forward of the pilothouse. Guests can relax under the sun on U-shaped settees or oversize sun pads with an awning for shade.

The top deck is dedicated to entertaining. A round sun pad is forward, with an L-shaped sofa under the integrated radar arch and hardtop. An after sun pad is set up for additional guests. A wet bar with a fridge and an ice maker reduces the number of trips below for refreshments.

When it comes to performance, the FD110 is powered by twin 1,900 hp Caterpillar C32A diesel engines that propel its 348,330 pounds up to 18.6 knots at wide open. Cruising at 14 knots, the engines burn 100 gph, providing an effective range of 763 nautical miles. The fast-displacement design lets the FD110 cruise comfortably between 8 and 16 knots. At 16 knots, range is about 600 nm. At 10 knots, the FD110 has an effective range of more than 2,000 nm. Dial it back to 8 knots, and the range jumps to more than 3,000 nm.

With striking lines, impressive spaces, efficient operation and a high level of customization, the Horizon FD110 Tri-Deck can take owners anywhere they want to point the bow, in comfort and luxury.  

Skyline Option

If owners prefer a different look and layout, Horizon offers the FD110 in a Skyline option. That version has an enclosed pilothouse and no upper deck. The overall displacement is reduced by about 20,000 pounds, and draft goes from 5 feet, 11 inches in the Tri-Deck version to 5 feet, 9 inches in the Skyline.  

Ready for Fun

Geared for owners who are active in watersports, or for a similar charter program, the FD110 can handle an array of toys: personal watercraft, paddleboards, underwater scooters and more. Access to the water is via the hydraulic swim platform, making it easy to jump on the toys and go.

A Hull of a Boat

Horizon’s bow design, called the High Performance Piercing Bow, doesn’t just push the water away; it slices through it. This feature, along with the hybrid hull shape and prop-tunnel design, improves the FD110’s fuel efficiency and range of cruising speeds.

RJC Yachts has welcomed the 82-foot Horizon Qara to the charter fleet. This is the first time the 2001 build will be offered for charter, following a refit earlier this year.

Qara will be based year-round in the US and British Virgin Islands, with accommodations for six guests in three staterooms. The captain is Mark Sperber, a native of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. He’ll oversee the charters along with two additional crew.

Tenders and toys aboard Qara include a 27-foot Sea Hunt, a two-person, see-through kayak, a pair of sea scooters, standup paddleboards, and snorkeling and fishing gear.

The inclusive weekly rate to charter Qara is $42,000.

How is an inclusive charter rate different from a lowest weekly base rate? An inclusive rate typically includes meals, ship’s bar and other incidentals such as taxes and fees.

It’s always a good day when a new build becomes available for charter, giving guests a chance to check out the latest offering from a prominent builder. That’s the story of Sea-renity, a Horizon FD100 that is marketed as a 2023 build and is now based in the Bahamas for charter inquiries throughout the summer season.

This particular FD100 has an interior that’s unusual, with a substantial amount of light wood that’s paired with black accent items throughout all the guest spaces. The decor was created by the Miami-based JAC design studio. “A lot of boats these days, it’s grays or blues and greens. This is different,” says Sarah Egger, charter manager with Fraser.

At an industry charter-yacht show in the Bahamas earlier this year, brokers also commented about how large the boat felt compared with others that are the same length overall. The extensive use of glazing certainly contributes to that ambience, as does the combination of decor and overall design. “The space on the inside, the volume, it seems much bigger than it is,” Egger adds. “I think it’s the lightness, but it’s also the build. That Horizon has a wider beam.”

As of this writing, Sea-renity had just completed its first few charters with friends of the owners on board, and the new owners had used it as well. Egger says a few of the favorite spaces are the yacht’s three bars—one in the beach club, one on the aft deck and one on the bridge deck next to the hot tub—along with the Portuguese seating and sunning space forward of the bridge. There’s also a beach club aft, which Egger says the owners are planning to fill with an increasing number of water toys. A towed tender is also in the works.

Sea-renity itself has a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top hop of 20 knots, which should be plenty fast for zipping around the Bahamas in style.    

The Horizon FD100

This is a current model available for orders with Horizon Yachts. It can be built as a skyline or tri-deck, which means either an enclosed sky lounge or an open flybridge, respectively. The designer of the Horizon FD100 is Cor D. Rover, whose other work includes yachts as large as the 220-foot Benetti Seasense. He has been working with Horizon Yachts since 2012. As a team, Rover’s studio and Horizon count more than 60 yachts either built or in build now.

Horizon’s PC60 packs the utility and amenities of a 100-foot monohull into a 60-foot power catamaran. It can have four staterooms, including a main-deck master; can hold a 14-foot center-console on the upper deck; and can host at least 20 guests for parties. Guests can dine inside at the coffee table that switches to a dining table with an L-shaped settee, in the cockpit with a flybridge overhang or on the bridge deck with a grill. The PC60 can do 23 knots. At 9 knots, range is nearly 1,500 nautical miles. As of May 2023, six PC60s were available, ranging from $1,999,999 to $2,695,000.

“Being a catamaran, the PC60 has a wide beam (nearly 25 feet), and the builder takes advantage of every inch of volume. You can invite 20 friends for a party aboard, and there’s elbowroom to spare, even if you only use the main deck. There’s seating for everyone too. The PC60’s twin-hull design also means exceptional stability, which allows you to have loose chairs, even on the flybridge, without worrying.”
