Horizon FD90 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Horizon FD90 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Horizon FD87 and Ocean Alexander 90R Enclosed, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The FD90 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Numarine 26 XP and Sanlorenzo SX88, 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 FD90 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 10 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The Horizon FD90 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Princess X80 which has an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots powered by its twin 1,900hp MAN V12-1900 engines and can reach a top speed of 31 knots. This is closely followed by the Sunseeker Ocean 182 with a notable cruising speed of 12 knots and top speed of 27 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Numarine 26 XP impresses with its extensive range of 3,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sanlorenzo SX88, Ocean Alexander 27R NGP, Princess X80, Horizon FD87, Ocean Alexander 90R Enclosed and Sirena Yachts 88 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them 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 Wally why200 has an impressive gross tonnage of 200GT, the largest of the competitors here.
