Horizon Yachts is proud to announce the sale of the world’s first FD100 Skyline to a passionate Australian owner. Destined for the Australian market, this striking vessel—FD100 Hull 15—seamlessly blends the acclaimed high-volume performance of the Fast Displacement (FD) Series with a brand-new Skyline configuration.

For the Australian owner, this milestone represents the culmination of a lifelong search for the “perfect boat”. Having spent most of his life on the water and having owned numerous vessels over the years, the ocean has always been a true calling for him. The owner secured the yacht before it even reached the boat show floor, drawn to how precisely it matched the vision he had been imagining for years. Now, both Horizon Yachts and the owner look forward to the yacht’s highly anticipated debut and public showcase in Australia.

“For me, this yacht represents the result of a lifelong passion for being on the water,” said the owner. “I’ve owned a number of boats over the years, but the FD100 Skyline immediately stood out because it perfectly matched the vision I’d been building in my mind for a long time. The combination of long-range capability, practical design, and the relaxed luxury of the Skyline layout made it feel like the right boat the moment I saw it.”

The FD100 Skyline features a dynamic exterior profile highlighted by a bespoke black radar arch, paired with an interior designed by the renowned Cor D. Rover. The interior spaces reflect a theme of “Contemporary Nautical Luxury,” notably showcasing the FD100 model’s first-ever Open Galley design. This galley functions as an interactive hub, illuminated by a geometric ceiling design with integrated LED lighting.

The yacht’s five-stateroom layout, which includes a full-beam on-deck Master Stateroom, provides enough cabins to comfortably host family and mates while retaining the warm, inviting feel of a true home on the water. Carefully tailored for the Australian boating lifestyle, the vessel is equipped with practical touches for long stretches at sea, including extra fridge freezers, thoughtful storage, and a walk-in cold room. For ultimate relaxation after a day of fishing, the yacht features a dedicated steam room.


Because the best moments on the water are meant to be shared, expansive entertainment areas were a major priority for the owner. The Split-Use Skylounge and Bridge Deck Aft. create an ultimate open-air social sanctuary, complete with a bespoke bar counter and an integrated flat-top Teppanyaki station. The absolute crown jewel of the yacht is the ten-person octagonal heated Jacuzzi equipped with RGB mood lighting, providing the perfect spot for the owner to watch the sun melt into the horizon.
Engineered for refined performance and comfort, the yacht is powered by twin MAN 2000ps engines and stabilized by Side-Power systems.

Reflecting on the acquisition and build process, the owner added, “The craftsmanship and overall standard of the vessel exceeded our expectations, with an incredible level of detail and quality evident throughout every part of the yacht. Working with the teams at Horizon Yacht Australia and the shipyard throughout the process has been an outstanding experience, and the hospitality John and his team at Horizon have shown us from day one has been exceptional. The way they listened to and accommodated our specific modifications and wish list to tailor the vessel to my exact needs is a real tribute to the team, and they genuinely made us feel part of the Horizon family throughout the entire journey.”

With his new vessel ready, the owner plans to embrace true freedom by easing the yacht back toward Australia with no strict schedule, aiming for Darwin first. From there, the real adventure begins with a slow lap around the country, exploring hidden coves and remote reefs.
“I can’t wait to experience the vessel while pursuing my lifelong passion for exploring and fishing some of the most remote islands possible, and to finally begin discovering Australia’s coastline with family and friends aboard,” he noted.
For this Australian owner, the FD100 Skyline is not just a boat—it is the life he has been waiting to live.
