Horizon Yachts announce the sale of the first Horizon FD80 to American owners

Taiwanese shipyard Horizon Yachts have announced the sale of the first unit of their FD80 model.

Constructed in 2019, the FD80 model has officially been renamed from FD77 since its initial introduction to reflect the vessel's LOA.

Primarily designed to attract the American audience, there are various installations incorporated in to the design which are highly appealing for owner operators from the US looking for Horizon yachts for sale.

Such integrations include an open bridge accompanied with a fixed windscreen. An open plan main deck layout also has appeal for socialising with guests, but a retractable partition by the galley can still provide privacy.

In addition to the relaxed open plan layout of the social areas on the main deck, an element which also attracts attention is the slightly unusual placement of a dayhead aft of the main saloon.

Usually found within the night area on the lower deck, this dayhead serves the main deck and those coming in from the aft relaxation area with an entrance from the interior and exterior.

Powered by Twin CAT C18A 1136HP engines, the Horizon FD80 is furnished with light American oak and glossy walnut accents throughout. The interiors are welcoming and naturally bright thanks to the abundant natural daylight filtering through the glazing. 

Overnight accommodation on the lower deck follows the same timeless decor, with additional crew quarters transforming from the beach club area. 

With its mix of stunning design, magnificent use of space and incredibly comfortable cabins the FD80 is undoubtedly luxurious. Take a look at all the yachts for sale to see which other boats offer similar luxury.
