Horizon E90 Review (2024 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The tour commences in the cockpit, where Nick points out a bar area equipped with a fridge, ice maker, and sink. The design includes thoughtful details like covered cushions for bad weather. The exterior finishings showcase high-quality stainless steel rails, deep bulwarks, and well-integrated lighting.

The side decks feature docking stations with engine and thruster controls, which facilitate easy maneuvering when docking. There’s also a hot tub on the upper deck, integrated with a secondary bar area, and carbon fiber poles for a bimini top to provide shade.

The upper deck, also referred to as the flybridge, includes a cinema zone with a fold-away TV, offering a cozy space for relaxation. The outdoor area features ample seating and another bar, complete with a barbecue, sink, and additional storage. The flybridge is designed for both leisure and entertainment, with a hot tub and sun pads, and the entire setup can be sheltered with a bimini top using carbon fiber poles.

Moving inside, the yacht immediately gives a warm welcome with an inviting open space equipped with a country kitchen at the front. The kitchen boasts multiple refrigeration units, a dishwasher, oven, hob, and microwave, all designed for catering and entertaining. A cozy breakfast nook with a built-in TV enhances the welcoming ambiance.

The interior finishings include a mix of dark wood and pale paneling, which Nick particularly appreciates for its aesthetic appeal. Automatic lighting on sensors adds a modern touch, ensuring convenience and energy efficiency.

The helm is located on the upper deck and features four configurable Garmin screens for navigation and system monitoring. These screens can display a variety of information, including engine status, camera feeds, and navigation data. The helm is also equipped with search light controls, zip wake trim tab controls, throttles, thrusters, and an autopilot. Notably, there is a day head on this level, a rare feature for an 80-foot yacht.

Owner's Cabin

The owner’s cabin is a full-beam, spacious sanctuary featuring generous storage, including drawers under the bed and multiple wardrobes. The ensuite spans the width of the cabin and includes twin sinks, toilets, and a central shower. The cabin’s design integrates pale finishes with dark wood and stone accents, creating a luxurious and comfortable environment.

Guest Accommodation

The yacht features three additional guest cabins. The VIP Guest Cabin includes backlit shelving, a lit headboard, and an ensuite with a separate shower head. Two twin cabins feature ample storage and ensuite bathrooms. Nick appreciates the mix of dark wood and pale paneling throughout the cabins, highlighting the excellent design choices.

Crew Accommodation

The crew area, accessible via a clamshell door, includes a mess area, additional laundry facilities, storage, and a cabin with bunk beds. The captain’s cabin is notably spacious for a yacht of this size. The crew quarters are designed to be functional and comfortable, with ample space for storage and essential amenities.

The engine room houses two Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines, each with 1,900 horsepower, enabling speeds up to the mid-20s. The yacht offers a cruising speed of 20 knots with a range of around 400 nautical miles. At lower, displacement speeds, the range can extend past 1,000 nautical miles. The engine room also features neon-like lighting, a watermaker, generators, air conditioning units, and a robust fire system, ensuring both performance and safety.

Nick, also known as Aquaholic, is thoroughly impressed with the Horizon E90 yacht. He highlights its blend of traditional design and modern amenities, spacious and well-appointed cabins, multiple entertaining areas, and advanced navigation and control systems. Thoughtful design choices, such as automatic lighting and ample storage, add to the yacht's appeal.

The yacht's performance capabilities, coupled with luxurious comfort, make it a standout vessel in its class. Nick's enthusiasm for the Horizon E90 is evident, and he encourages viewers to appreciate the yacht's exceptional features.
