Horizon FD87 (2017 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the FD87 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Asia-built motor yacht (24-30m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the fast displacement hull of the FD87 delivers speeds of up to 20 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: spacious and commanding suv design, main deck owner’s stateroom, main and upper deck lounges and versatile performance.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Horizon FD87 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Horizon FD85 and Sirena Yachts 88, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The FD87 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Sanlorenzo SX88 and Outer Reef Yachts 900 Motoryacht, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon FD87 delivers a steady 14 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess X80 with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots or the Princess X90 with a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots. The Horizon FD87 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Horizon FD85, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sirena Yachts 88 impresses with its extensive range of 2,100 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Ocean Alexander 28E allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess X80 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots. The Horizon FD90 has an impressive gross tonnage of 175GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Horizon FD87 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Horizon FD Series range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 10 competing models.
