Kaohsiung, Taiwan – August 13, 2024 – Horizon Yachts is proud to announce the latest addition to its acclaimed FD Series, the FD100 Hull 11. This stunning tri-deck yacht, designed by Cor D. Rover, encapsulates the essence of the ocean with inspiration drawn from rhythmic waves and sun-kissed shores. The FD100 offers a unique fusion of elegance, innovation, and a deep connection with the sea, providing an unparalleled yachting experience.

A Design Inspired by the Ocean

The FD100’s design reflects Horizon's dedication to creating luxurious and intimate spaces that resonate with the natural beauty of the ocean. The main salon exudes a serene aesthetic, featuring warm American walnut and stone facades. A port-side L-shaped sofa, accompanied by a colorful rug reminiscent of tidal flows, creates a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Swivel armchairs to starboard allow guests to take in the panoramic seascape views, enhancing the salon’s formal lounge setup.

The dining area showcases a ten-seat table with a hand-painted, turquoise-blue glass tabletop that evokes the feeling of dining on the ocean’s surface. Complemented by the Articolo Trilogy Horizontal Pendant overhead, this centerpiece is bathed in natural light, creating an iridescent effect that sparks conversation. The galley, forward of the dining space, continues the oceanic theme with Cambria countertops featuring wave-like patterns. The galley also offers privacy with a separate door and a Hi/Lo textured glass partition.

Luxurious Accommodations

The FD100 is equipped with a five-stateroom layout, ensuring maximum comfort for owners and guests. The full-beam master stateroom, situated forward, is a tranquil retreat complete with a king-sized bed, extensive stowage, and a his-and-hers ensuite. Elegant Oracle LED wall sconces and a MML Stone-Breccia Melange headboard add a touch of refinement to the room.

The lower deck houses four deluxe ensuite staterooms, including mirrored VIPs amidships, a convertible twin with a Pullman berth to port, and a third VIP in the bow. Each stateroom is enhanced with inVinci wallcovering and meticulously designed TV panels, adding visual depth and elegance to the spaces.

Aft of the engine room, which features twin CAT C32A 1,900hp engines, are the crew quarters. These include a double Captain’s cabin, two bunk cabins, a crew mess, a freezer, and laundry facilities. The beach club is a cozy retreat, complete with seating, a wet bar, and barstools, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze.

Sun, Sea, and Serenity

The FD100’s bridge deck offers a luxurious enclosed skylounge, which doubles as a second salon, complete with a wet bar, icemaker, TV, and day head. Aft of the skylounge, under the hardtop, is a ten-seat dining table, a fold-down 43” LED TV, and a fully equipped BBQ station. Further aft, U-shaped seating provides a sun-drenched space for relaxation.

For those seeking ultimate relaxation, the uppermost tri-deck features a Jacuzzi tub surrounded by sun pads, a wet bar, and a 55” Hi/Lo LED TV that rotates to accommodate various viewing angles. The foredeck area offers additional plush sun pads and alfresco dining options, making it the perfect spot to unwind while enjoying the expansive views.

A New Horizon in Yachting

The FD100 is a true testament to Horizon’s commitment to innovation, luxury, and customization. “The FD100 model offers owners and operators alike a spacious platform to realize their vision, all while maintaining a manageable framework,” said Roger Sowerbutts, Director at Horizon Yacht USA. This new build is not only a reflection of the owner's personal style but also a celebration of the ocean's beauty.
