The Wait Is Over: Horizon’s FD90 Just Broke the Rules of New Yacht Ownership
The FD90’s Reign: A Proven Winner
In yachting, some models don’t just sell; they set the standard. The Horizon FD90 has done exactly that. As the most popular model in the FD Series, its success is a testament to a design philosophy that marries form with function. The latest to emerge from this celebrated line, Hull 34, a Skyline version, is now available for immediate delivery. This isn’t a slow-moving build; it’s a direct response to a market that has embraced the FD90 as a definitive mid-range luxury yacht. For those who know, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a proven winner without the wait.
The Secret to Space: FD Series’ Signature Windows
The most striking feature of the FD90 is not a single piece of hardware but a core design principle: light and space. The FD Series’ hallmark full-height windows are more than just a stylistic choice; they are a strategic tool for creating a truly expansive atmosphere. By dissolving the traditional boundaries between inside and out, the FD90’s living areas feel airy and vast, giving the impression of a much larger vessel. Recessed LED strip lighting and a refined blend of washed wenge and European oak further enhance this sense of scale, making every moment on board feel open and connected to the sea.
Main Deck Masterclass: Design That Breathes
The main deck is a masterclass in modern living. A versatile lounge and dining area open aft, connecting to the exterior through oversized sliding glass doors. A formal dining table seats 10 guests under a beautiful pendant light, while the galley seamlessly transitions between an open layout and a private service area with an electric Hi-Lo glass partition. The on-deck master stateroom is a world of its own—a sanctuary of comfort with a custom king-size bed and an S-shaped lounge chair offering panoramic window views. Its dual vanities and rainfall shower give the space a spa-like feel, making it the perfect retreat.
Skyline Living: An Upper Deck with a View
The upper deck, or “Skyline,” is a study in thoughtful versatility. The wheelhouse is fully closable, providing a quiet, focused helm station. The Skylounge itself is a split-use space, with a U-shaped dining area on one side and a full bar with four barstools on the other, all shaded by the hardtop. This design allows for different groups to enjoy their own spaces without sacrificing a sense of togetherness. Furthest aft, the boat deck can be flexibly configured for a group of sun loungers or for the stowage of a tender and water toys, proving that every square foot of the FD90 has a purpose.
The Core of the Build: Performance and Quiet Power
The FD90 is not just beautiful; it is built for serious sea time. Powered by twin CAT C32A 1,900hp engines and supported by twin Onan 29kW generators, this vessel delivers high performance and quiet efficiency. Its Fast Displacement hull, the reason for the FD Series’ name, provides optimal seakeeping and cruising in comfort. This is the engineering that gives owners confidence, ensuring that the FD90 is as reliable on a long-range cruise as it is elegant at the dock.
