Horizon FD110 Tri-deck Review (2023 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The yacht features a hi-lo platform capable of supporting an 18-foot tender, with additional provisions for another tender. The aft cockpit, remarkably spacious for a yacht of this size, includes a bar area equipped with an ice maker, fridge, and storage, setting a precedent for the yacht’s outdoor amenities.

The exterior finishings are designed for both aesthetic appeal and functionality, offering vast social spaces and easy access to water toys and tenders.

The sundeck is highlighted by its modular outdoor furniture, allowing for customization based on the owner's preferences. It includes a space for a potential hot tub and a gas barbecue, enhancing the outdoor entertainment possibilities. The area is shaded by a hard top, providing comfort and protection from the sun, making it a perfect spot for relaxation or social gatherings.

Inside, the yacht boasts expansive living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows, enabling unobstructed views of the surroundings. The dining area features a convertible table that serves multiple purposes, from dining to entertainment.

The galley is fully equipped with extensive refrigeration, storage, and cooking facilities, designed to cater to prolonged stays onboard. The overall interior finishing combines luxury with practicality, utilizing high-quality materials and innovative design to maximize space and comfort.

The helm station on the upper deck is equipped with comprehensive navigation and control systems, including four multifunction displays, instrumentation for the Caterpillar engines, thruster controls, and autopilot. The forward sloping screens afford an excellent view, essential for navigation, while side access doors and a small desk provide additional functionality for the captain.

Owner's Cabin

The main deck houses the owner's cabin, featuring large windows for natural light, ample wardrobe space, and a dressing area. Twin bathrooms with a shared central shower offer privacy and luxury, emphasizing the yacht's commitment to providing sumptuous accommodations.

Guest Accommodation

Four guest cabins on the lower deck, three of which offer VIP-level amenities, include large beds, hull windows for natural light, and en-suite bathrooms. The thoughtful design and finishing of these cabins ensure that guests enjoy comfort and privacy akin to the owner's cabin.

Crew Accommodation

The crew quarters are designed for spacious living with ensuite bathrooms. The area includes a captain's cabin with a double bed and AV equipment, two additional cabins with bunks, and a mess area, showcasing Horizon's consideration for crew comfort and operational efficiency.

Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT D02 engines, each delivering 1,900 horsepower, the yacht achieves a top speed of around 18 knots. Its fast displacement hull ensures efficient long-distance cruising, with a range of 3000 nautical miles at 8 knots, highlighting its capabilities for extended voyages.

Nick's thorough tour of the Horizon FD110 Tri-deck yacht reveals a vessel that impresses with its spaciousness, luxury, and thoughtful design. The yacht's extensive amenities, both for entertainment and practicality, its luxurious accommodations for guests and crew, and its efficient performance capabilities, align to make it a standout option for extended cruising.

Nick's appraisal underscores the yacht's appeal, emphasizing its potential for providing an unparalleled onboard experience.
