Below deck are four en-suite staterooms, and crew quarters are found aft of the engines.  Another customer feature of this new Horizon E88 are its height and weight conscious build.  For example, Horizon designed and implemented a folding radar mast that will fold down at the touch of a button, allowing the yacht to travel without "overhead" worry. Mechtilda also includes a transformer on the swim platform that can hold up to three hundred kilos and extend up, outwards and down for enjoying numerous water activities. This new E88 was delivered in the the middle of March.

Project: Horizon RP102

Innovative design and new technology, at the talented hands of Dutch designer Cor D. Rover, has paved the way for Horizon to develop an exceptional Raised Pilothouse concept: the RP102. The Horizon RP102 project features a combination of fluid lines and modern proportions, large glass windows allow natural light to flow into the interior spaces, and her layout offers a symbiosis of owner, guest and service areas, creating the feeling of a much larger yacht. A full beam master stateroom is located on the forward main deck, complete with an en-suite bath. Equally impressive are the RP102's exterior areas; at the touch of a button, the RP102's Sky Terrace, a patented design by Rover, can increase the flybridge deck area by 20% without compromising the yacht's fluid design. A beach club forward of the swim platform offers a space ideal for enjoying the ocean view that is also protected from the sun.  Horizon utilized Computational Fluid Dynamics and scaled model tests to successfully develop the RP102 hull form, which provides 25% less fuel consumption at a 20-knot cruise speed than a conventional planning hull. Horizon RP102 concept design is answer to consumer demand, emphasizing luxury, safety and interior volume within a dual purpose, performance-oriented hull.

Project: Horizon 46 SC

Horizon presents the project of the 46 SunCat. A very interesting proposal for the fact that this is a one hundred per cent clean energy moving craft, which follows what Horizon showcased in the small 23SC about a year ago. But being fair to Horizon here the Sun Cat project is much complicated for the larger size, and more weight which totals 21 tons. The 46 SC is also supported with efficient batteries which totals 48 kWh these being used for propulsion, mooring, and other boating activities. Accommodation is also interesting having a very spacious main deck layout with a saloon having two sofas, an L-shaped galley, and a central helm station. Down below is space for the owners spacious room located in the middle and two shower heads. One of which is for the guests and has a separate entrance.

Taiwan boat builder Horizon continues to present new range and style of boats which go out of the usual thinking like that of its successful Mediterranean looking Elegance series. This time is turn for a Power Catamaran with the 80 AquaCat which knocks a mini Super Yacht size, thanks to its overall length of eighty one feet. As expected the 80 AquaCat benefits of the usual catamaran advantages of better stability, and less water resistance especially at medium speeds. This last equals to better fuel economy. Horizon also says minimum draft but there data state 1.50 metres which seems a standard and similar to a planning mono hull of this size. Accommodation for this two deck and a half will be for three guest cabins with owners stateroom on the main deck, and two identical VIP suites on the lower deck. Two other twin bunk cabins what look to be for the crew or kids on plan are located to fore peak of the hulls. The two deck and a half 80 AquaCat was designed by Australian architect Mark Ellis who has quite a resume of power catamarans to his name and here presents a twin bulbous hull shape.
