Horizon Yachts launches twin RP110 superyachts

Taiwan-based shipyard Horizon Yachts has launched its twin RP110 superyachts which are now scheduled to be delivered to their respective owners in the U.S. and Australia.

Both owners began their Horizon path in 2012, both purchasing a Horizon E78, eventually moving onto a Horizon E88 before commissioning their own RP110 superyachts that, coincidentally, were tank tested together.

“The coincidences surrounding these two RP110s are most unusual”, said John Lu, Horizon Group CEO. “And it has been our honour to be a part of this story.”

The RP110 Hull 5, built for U.S. owner, features a double chine hull designed by Donald Blount. The owner commissioned Italian designer Luca Dini to incorporate a casually elegant décor that pervades the spacious and flexible four-stateroom layout.

The salon has been fitted with a 150-bottle wine storage unit, which was customised to satisfy the oenophile owner’s wine collection hobby.

Featuring exterior styling from J.C. Espinosa and an interior designed by Cor D. Rover, the second Horizon RP110 Hull 7, has been completely tailored to her Australian owners’ preferences. Distinguished by an exterior profile that features floor-to-ceiling windows on the deckhouse and a dramatic dark blue hull, this yacht has been designed with a combined skylounge/open bridge configuration that offers an enclosed, climate-controlled skylounge for family gatherings as well as open visibility from the bridge.

Developed in collaboration with Horizon’s in-house design team and international designers, the RP110 series has been described by the yard as a “pinnacle superyacht”. It’s been nominated for the prestigious ‘World Superyacht Award’ for its graceful exterior styling, performance and stability.
