Two FD87 Skyline to Make European Debut at Cannes

Guaranteed to turn heads in the Vieux Port this September, two brand new FD87 yachts will be on display during the Cannes Yachting Festival, September 10-15, 2019.

The Cannes Yachting Festival will mark the debut of two Horizon FD87 Skyline yachts in Europe, both of which are new launches in Horizon’s highly acclaimed FD Series. The FD87 Skyline hull 7 and hull 10 are advanced fast displacement motoryachts that marry impressive interior volume with superior cruising capabilities. Designed with the Skyline (enclosed bridge) configuration, the yachts retain the FD Series’ signature head-turning exterior styling penned by yacht designer Cor D. Rover, atop the proven High Performance Piercing Bow design and hull platform.

Springing from the popular FD85 platform, which made its European debut at the 2017 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Horizon FD87’s extended length allows for even more amenities in a yacht that feels like a 100ft + boat. Each FD Series yacht incorporates feedback from current Horizon owners into its design while capitalizing on the innovations and ingenious amenities fitted in its predecessor, and these two brand new FD87 Skyline yachts are no exception.

Offering a five-stateroom layout with an enclosed skylounge on the upper deck, the new FD87 Skyline hull 10, which has obtained CE Marking, incorporates superyacht amenities into its voluminous design. Within the 23’ 3” beam, guests are welcomed into the light and airy main deck salon, highlighted by oak woodwork and featuring an ingenious convertible dining table that easily folds up into a breakfast bar. The forward galley can be separated from the salon via privacy doors and a Hi/Lo island partition while the full-beam master stateroom is situated furthest forward. Four spacious guest staterooms outfitted in elegant Wenge reside on the lower deck while the upper deck features a comfortable enclosed skylounge aft of the helmstation.

The foredeck area aboard FD87 Skyline hull 10 has been designed with a settee and dinette, sprawling sunpad, and “love seat” forward to accommodate not only cocktail hour but sunbathers as well as those who wish to enjoy the unobstructed views. Aft of the enclosed skylounge on the upper deck, a bar with stools, a dinette and lounging area, and a barbecue invite al fresco relaxation. Visitors to this boat may quickly forget they are on a 90ft LOA yacht, and when they reach the fully equipped beach club, situated just aft of the spacious crew quarters for three, the ingeniousness of the FD Series design will underscore why Horizon has, to date, sold a record 25 FD Series yachts in less than three years.

Yet another head-turner that will delight visitors is the new Horizon FD87 Skyline Hull 7, which features an attractive stone grey hull with a light gold boot stripe; she is a unique yacht with uncompromising style. Characterized by large sections of floor-to-ceiling windows and fitted with dark Wenge wood and vinyl paneling with a stainless steel inlay, the main salon conveys a zen-like atmosphere that is carried throughout the interior. Details and considerate design features have been incorporated throughout, such as the additional portside door in the galley that allows crew access without interrupting guests in the salon and dining area, and the walk-in closet to starboard offering plenty of storage.

The FD87 Skyline hull 7’s spacious aft deck offers panoramic views as well as an inviting seating area for 10-15 people, including a parquet teak table and freestanding furniture. The unique design feature of this yacht is an island skylounge surrounded by a walkaround deck, which not only brings privacy to the interior but also provides a seamless transition between the exterior entertaining areas.
