This year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) in West Palm Beach, Florida, promised to be bigger than ever for Horizon Yachts as they showcased five vessels. The PBIBS showcase set the stage for the Horizon lineup that featured the RP122 Miss Michelle, the brand new FD100 Hull 13, the versatile V77S, the stylish E90 and FD75.
With an additional day added this year, there was ample time for visitors to tour the Horizon vessels on display and experience the quality workmanship and exceptional equipment that embodies the Horizon brand. This year, the PBIBS brought in more than 55,000 people from across the globe, featuring the latest in luxury yachts and maritime advancements.
The VIP Cocktail Reception was well attended by Horizon Yachts owners and their guests and the evening was filled with attendees mingling and enjoying hors d’oeuvres, live music from the Jutt Huffman Band and the camaraderie that is always present at Horizon Yachts events.
We were very fortunate to have designers Cor D. Rover and J.C. Espinosa spend time with us and our visitors during the show. Cor D. Rover shared his insights on his incredible FD Series, known for its expansive interiors, safety and innovative Fast Displacement design. J.C. Espinosa, another long-standing collaborator with Horizon Yachts, shared with guests and clients details from his award-winning megayacht interior and exterior designs.
The Horizon Yachts team celebrated finding a new home for one of the vessels on display and also met with current Horizon owners to discuss future builds as well as new clients interested in building the yacht of their dreams.
We have an exciting year ahead, with the arrival of the V68 Enclosed Pilothouse in Seattle this spring followed by the debut of the FD110 Tri-Deck, the FD80 Skyline, and the FD90 Skyline in a Split-use Skylounge layout for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025.
