The Horizon FD87 is a 90-foot luxury motor yacht with a flybridge that was produced by iconic Taiwanese yacht builder Horizon between the years of 2018 and 2021. Designed by Dutch industry legend Cor D. Rover, this striking vessel features a sheer monolithic form with bold horizontal lines, a shimmering metallic livery, contemporary styling and an assertive double-height bow entry for a fearlessly modern look. Breezy living spaces straddle the divide between plush elegance and decadent comfort, while a rugged fast-displacement hull in fiberglass and beefy propulsion options make this a great option for offshore adventuring.
There’s a teak-lined sun-terrace at the rear of the bridge where nothing but stainless steel guardrails separate you from the very finest ocean views. Back here there is room for low-slung sofas and sun-loungers, though some clients will install a Steelhead Marine davit back here for tender lifting and storage. A few paces forward takes you to a free-flowing portion of the bridge hidden under a wrap-around hood with a walk-in bar and galley with a tempered glass serving platform and five leather-lined stools. Across from this there is a lengthy sofa with twin cocktail tables, slide-open side glazing and companion seating up by the helm. A Stidd helm seat faces the dash up here, and you can expect the very finest in navigational tools, with power-steering, Raymarine E120 MFD screens, a Maretron system, ABT stabilizer switches and thruster controls all on offer.
The views continue out on the raised foredeck, where a forward love-seat by the bow and a triple-width sunpad with pop-up headrests offer secluded sunbathing. This space also comes with a chunky wet-bar station with a grill and a forward U-shaped sofa that curves around a bespoke timber-lined dining table. You could also re-arrange this foredeck level to accommodate a jacuzzi plunge-pool so that you can soak up the bubbles while simultaneously soaking up the rays.
The mood changes down in the aft-cockpit, where a shaded retreat with four conversation sofas and teak-decking awaits. Take the side steps down to a full-beam Hi-Lo swim platform and discover a stern-side door that opens up to reveal a water-level beach club with seating, bar facilities and access to the crew quarters. Three sets of sliding glass doors, panoramic side glazing, floor-to-ceiling windows and mood lighting keep the main-deck salon feeling light and breezy, while tasteful interior options include satin-finished walnut surrounds, accents in varnished oak and gold, surfaces in Carrara marble or quartz, tables topped by tempered glass and furnishings in exquisite upholstery. You will enjoy lounging on an L-shaped sofa or set of armchairs, dining at a ten-seater formal table or whipping up lunches at a live-aboard open galley. Alternatively, make your retreat to a full-beam forward stateroom on this level with a king-sized bed, dramatic windows, two walk-in closets, a work-desk, a side sofa and a deluxe bathroom with a wet-room shower.
There’s sleeping quarters for eight more overnight guests on the lower-deck, with a selection of four double or twin staterooms down here featuring wide hull windows, marble-finished en-suite bathrooms, capacious storage options and a demure and tasteful styling.
A pair of 1136HP Caterpillar C18 ACERT stern-drives power the FD87 to top speeds of up to 20 knots in ideal conditions. At a 10-knot cruising speed you can steer this beautiful watercraft for up to 1,780 nautical miles before needing to top-up the 3479 gallon fuel tank, while a Fast Displacement hull with a proprietary High Performance Piercing Bow should make mincemeat out of those offshore swells.
