HORIZONS III combines six decks and a substantial 13m beam with a quietly residential interior by Zuretti.
HORIZONS III, originally delivered as Martha Ann, offers a more residential interpretation of a 70-metre private yacht. Her six decks and approximately 13-metre beam support generous accommodation, while the interior by Zuretti uses warmer materials and a classical atmosphere to balance the scale and give the rooms a more intimate atmosphere on longer passages.
A generous platform for private use
The builder’s record identifies six decks and a broad hull form, creating room for different groups to enjoy the yacht at the same time. A large upper-level lounge can serve a different purpose from quiet guest accommodation lower down.
The precise arrangement of furniture and current guest use are private operational matters. The published profile is sufficient to describe the original architectural approach without inventing a contemporary itinerary.
Espen Øino’s exterior
The exterior design uses a balanced sequence of decks and strong horizontal lines. Its proportions help the yacht feel coherent from the water even as different levels provide space for guests and crew.
The generous beam contributes to both the volume inside and the broad spaces visible outside. Those design choices remain part of the original vessel, rather than an assumed feature of every yacht of similar length.
Zuretti’s residential atmosphere
Inside, Zuretti relied on a warm neutral palette and substantial wood detailing to give the rooms a traditional sense of comfort. The materials create a setting intended for extended living rather than a fleeting visit.
The yacht’s current possessions and any later redecorations are not established by the original shipyard profile. This feature consequently focuses on documented design authorship and the style at the time of delivery.
Names and dates kept in order
The earlier name Martha Ann appears in historical records; HORIZONS III is the name used in the builder’s current fleet profile. That continuity is important when matching official photography and avoiding duplicate fleet records.
The yacht was delivered in 2008, and this is an editorial look at her design rather than a claim of a new event today. A distinct official Lürssen image illustrates the correct hull.
