E56XO
The Horizon Elegance 64 is a 66-foot luxury flybridge yacht that was produced by the iconic Taiwan-based yacht-building firm Horizon between the years of 2005 and 2008. An updated edition of a popular boat from the late ‘90s, this supremely stylish vessel boasts plenty of swept-back, aerodynamic curves, tear-drop glazing, a sleek presence on the water and plenty of turbo-charged speed. The perfect option for coastal cruising with the whole family, the Elegance 64 remains a sound investment thanks to its robust build-quality and a solid, semi-displacement fiberglass hull with a fine entry that slices through the swells.
Nothing but a radar-arch to aft separates you from the summer rays up on an entirely al-fresco flybridge lined in striped teak. On this level you can expect to find an L-shaped lounge sofa that connects to a vast daybed, with these two seating options surrounding a bespoke timber dining table that can be lowered for use as a coffee table. Also on offer up here is a chunky wet-bar station with amenities like a sink, chilled storage and a grill, as well as central, ergonomic helm station with an adjustable helm chair. The modish dashboard features a power-assisted steering wheel, flip-up weather-guards, bow and stern thruster controls, a pair of Raymarine MFD screens, VHF radio, a depthsounder, a high-speed compass and more.
A double-width sunpad and a forward loveseat welcome guests out onto the foredeck, while teak-lined side-decks lead back to a sheltered aft-deck with a transom sofa, a teak dining table and a rear docking station. A port-side set of curving steps lead towards a full-beam swim platform with an extending passarelle and access into a tender garage large enough for your modern water-toys.
Pick from an array of deluxe materials to line the spacious and elegant main-deck salon, with options like teak, high-gloss wengewood, Alcantara suede, marble and granite on offer. Lined by generous glazing, with metal-framed sliding glass doors to the rear, and mood-lighting throughout, this relaxation zone feels bright and breezy. Rest and recuperate on a starboard sofa or leaf through a page-turner on a comfortable armchair, keep your provisions in a set of hand-finished cabinets, or move forward to discover a formal dining room. A port-side galley kitchen comes with high-end appliances, a steel sink, a multi-zone stovetop and plenty of refrigeration options, not to mention a side-door for easy access outside. At the front of this level there is a private pilot-house with a full-seat of helm controls.
Sophisticated sleeping quarters for up to six overnight guests will be found on the lower-deck, with rooms on this level benefitting from authentic timber surrounds, soft carpeting underfoot, dedicated en-suite bathrooms and the plentiful use of porthole glazing. A bunk-berth to port is joined by a VIP stateroom with a double island bed by the bow, with these two cabins boasting generous storage options. A full-beam master stateroom amidship features triple mullioned hull glazing, a queen-sized bed, two full-height closets, a pair of side sofas and a bathroom with your choice of granite or marble surfaces.
Powered by a pair of 1360HP MAN V12 inboard diesel engines, you can anticipate top speeds of around 25 knots, while settle in to a comfortable 18 knot cruising pace to enjoy multi-day voyages thanks to a 1215 gallon fuel tank.
