This yacht is a bestseller! Horizon FD90

Built by Horizon in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the FD90 belongs to the Fast Displacement series introduced in 2016. Cor D. Rover created the exterior styling, while Horizon handles naval architecture and the model’s interior design. It measures 27.45 metres overall with a 7.11-metre beam and approximately 1.85-metre draft. Its development follows the FD87 Skyline’s enclosed-bridge concept; Horizon documented a custom FD90 launch in October 2020.

The familiar five-stateroom arrangement places a full-beam owner’s suite forward on the main deck and four guest cabins below, providing accommodation for ten before any additional berths. Full-height saloon glazing is a defining feature. Accommodation is not fixed: Horizon has delivered four-stateroom examples and a three-stateroom version with the master below and a country kitchen forward. Galley placement, laundry facilities and storage therefore require checking on each yacht.

Upper-deck choices include the enclosed Skyline arrangement and a split-use configuration combining an enclosed wheelhouse with sheltered outdoor entertaining space. Walkaround side decks connect the aft boat deck with the foredeck lounge. Tender stowage, a crane, bars, dining furniture, sunshades and spa pools can be incorporated according to specification. A stern beach club and bathing platform characterize the catalogue arrangement, although owners have also substituted additional storage or a customized garage.

Machinery has evolved between builds. Horizon’s 2024 brochure specified twin Caterpillar C18A diesels rated at 1,136hp each, whereas the current model page lists twin 1,600hp MTU 10V2000M96L engines. A published 2024-build review records 19.5 knots maximum with the MTUs; Horizon reports 22 knots for a later yacht fitted with twin 1,900hp Caterpillar C32As. Standard published fuel capacity is 13,170 litres, but extended-tank examples exist, including a reviewed yacht carrying 15,780 litres.

The hull and superstructure are GRP composite. Horizon’s High Performance Piercing Bow forms part of the fast-displacement hull concept, intended to support efficiency and stability. The group manufactures composite components in-house and uses resin-infusion technology. Equipment also develops by hull: a 2022 launch introduced JUNG automation, while later examples feature upgraded fin stabilizers, larger generators, dive compressors or folding radar masts. These are documented build specifications, not a universal equipment list.

Crew accommodation commonly comprises two cabins aft of the engine room for four people, although some recent layouts accommodate five. Documented ownership plans include Florida, the Bahamas, the northeastern United States and Australian coastal cruising. Production continues: Horizon announced Hull 36 under construction in June 2026 for delivery in 2027, with extended fuel capacity, a walk-in cool room and a reinforced boat deck incorporating a custom helipad for remote Australian exploration.
