Built on spec, the FD92 Hull Three was enroute to the U.S.
when she was sold to experienced but first-time Horizon owners.
The tri-deck version of the high-
volume FD Series yacht proved itself quickly after the launch of the rst custom FD92 in late 2020. Built on spec, this third FD92 caught the eye of experienced American owners, who signed the sales contract as the yacht was enroute to the U.S. She was delivered in April 2021 along with a selection of curated gifts from Horizon Yacht USA and christened e Rock during the champagne toast. →

HORIZON LIFE
DREAMS DEFINED. LIFE ON THE WATER.
They might be a bit more utilitarian than raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens, but our owners’ favorite things bring equal happiness and are definitely worth sharing. Our editorial team recently met up with the owners of two FD Series yachts to discuss their Horizon build experience and their favorite onboard details.
FD102 HULL TWO TÒ-KALÒN
“It was a very pleasant building experience working with everyone at Horizon both in the U.S. and Taiwan. Their willingness to consider our ideas, incorporate their own and to be willing to compromise on important matters is very commendable. We look forward to many years of enjoyable cruising on our specially designed yacht.” — OWNERS
TÒ-KALÒN DEFINED
TÒ-KALÒN is the rst Horizon build for the experienced owners, who customized their interior to feature a circular dining area on the main deck aft and incorporated Humphree stabilizers and interceptor tabs for added performance. eirs was the rst FD yacht to feature a semi-enclosed skylounge and crew quarters forward of the engine room. An overall length limit of 101’ 9” – so as to t in the slip of their home port – in uenced the overall design, but in the end the owners were able to incorporate all of their desired amenities.
SPACIOUS CREW QUARTERS
“We speci ed very nice crew quarters forward, which leaves us with four spacious guest quarters aft. is makes it easy for the crew to service these quarters without going up and down a lot of steps.”
SEMI-ENCLOSED SKYLOUNGE
“We positioned the tender forward instead of the boat deck, which gives us a large, beautiful covered sky deck area with sliding windows. Here we can host 20+ party guests with all the amenities and plenty of seating.”
WELL-APPOINTED GALLEY
“We really enjoy our well-appointed galley. It features two refrigerators, two freezers, a custom co ee nook, a ship’s monitoring station with seating, and private access to the crew quarters. Every chef we’ve had onboard comments on how wonderful the galley is laid out.”
BREAKFAST BAR WITH PRIVACY WINDOW
“We love the breakfast bar and the opaque window that allows a view of the chefs working in the galley and automatically lowers to give the salon privacy when guests are present.”
LAZARETTE STORAGE
“Not being sun people, we eliminated the beach club aft, which gave us a large lazarette area with lots of storage for bikes, suitcases, or anything else the crew needs to store.”
FD110 HULL THREE UNTETHERED
“Horizon has done more than 'right' by us and accommodated our extensive customizations, from the internally heated German windshields to his-and-hers heads, dressing areas and showers. Horizon truly lets you build it your way and the FD Series offers impressive gross tonnage in a 110ft package." — OWNERS
UNTETHERED DEFINED
Speci ed as a Skyline con guration, the FD110 Untethered features a four-stateroom layout that includes a main-deck master and three large staterooms on the lower deck, including a forward VIP. is layout allows for spacious crew quarters as well as a gym below. is yacht has also been customized with a country kitchen and various dining and relaxation areas throughout, including the foredeck. An electric awning shades the bridge deck aft, which features a unique re pit.
SWIM PLATFORM WITH SEA BOB MOUNTS
“We mounted four Sea Bobs with quick release mounts on the hydraulic swim platform. is allows easy access to the water and retrieval as they oat o the platform when lowered/raised. We used this for the rst time in e Bahamas this winter!”
PORT AND STARBOARD WING STATIONS
“It’s nice to feel ‘attached’ to the boat when docking, with all controls including depth, horn, rudder, and full engine controls easily at hand. While the boat also has a wireless dock controller and clear site lines from stern to bow, the wing stations are really nice.”
A GORGEOUS EXTERIOR PRESENCE
“In a beautiful metallic gray, the boat’s presence is easily announced. Horizon does not paint many boats and the FD110 takes to it well. Also note the non-standard helm glass – cutom ordered from Tilse in Germany – which has a built-in heated windshield. Not shown are fairly non-standard engine room equipment, including a water-cooled Magnus worldwide power converter, an Alfa Laval fuel separator, and built-in roll-out carbon ber boarding ladders.”

CUSTOM FIRE PIT
“ is is my favorite customization. It is speci cally intended for cool nights spent in Maine. Lots of engineering went into providing fail safes for the re pit, including temperature alarm/shuto s in the ceiling and oor, and text message alerts sent through the Maretron OptiPlex system to both the boat Captain and owner upon ignition.”
CUSTOM MATCHING TENDER
“What is a super yacht without a painted-to-match custom tender?!”
