Horizon Yachts 2023 in Review

In 2024, Horizon Yachts welcomes a brand new year, reflecting on the brilliance of 2023 and envisioning the innovation and prosperity of 2024.

The last twelve months heralded a steady flow of sales and deliveries, with both new and existing Horizon clients calling meetings to discuss customizing their next dream yacht. Nearly 20 new-build yachts ranging from 75 to 110 feet from the FD, V, RP and E series were delivered to clients worldwide in 2023.Following on its commitment to continuous innovation and investment in new technology, Horizon Group in 2023 incorporated Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing into its manufacturing processes. Introduced in tandem with a PaR Systems 5-Axis CNC machine upgrade, the 3D printing capabilities further improves production efficiencies and design quality.

This year, the Horizon Group’s Horizon City Marina achieved another milestone by becoming the first marina in Taiwan to receive the Superyacht Ready certification. This recognition adds to the honor previously earned through the Global Gold Anchor Marina Accreditation. Presented by the Marina Industries Association (MIA), the Superyacht Ready certification acknowledges the marina's capabilities in providing professional services and high-end facilities to visiting superyachts for luxury experiences.In-person events continued to draw current and prospective clients as Horizon partners displayed the latest Horizon yacht builds in the global boat shows. Three international Owners’ Rendezvous were also hosted in 2023, including the Horizon Yacht USA Mystic Seaport Museum Rendezvous, the Horizon Power Catamarans Rendezvous and the Horizon Yacht Australia Airlie Beach Rendezvous. It brings the entire Horizon family great joy to see so many Horizon owners joined together to share their build experiences and cruising stories.

Recognized for its innovation in both onboard layout and overall performance, the RP125 marks the 14th consecutive Horizon yacht to receive a Taiwan Excellence Award.
