Horizon Yacht USA will exhibit FD110 Tri-Deck, FD90 Skyline and FD80 Skyline at FLIBS 2026, alongside a smaller yacht and a preview of the future FD85s.

Large Horizon yachts are heading to Florida

Horizon Yacht USA has announced its Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show display, led by FD110 Tri-Deck Hull 7, FD90 Skyline Hull 34 and FD80 Skyline Hull 19. The three Fast Displacement-series yachts will be at the Face Dock in slips 600 to 606 during the 28 October to 1 November 2026 event.

A fourth yacht, the smaller V77s, will share the stand, and Horizon plans to introduce visitors to FD85s Hull 20, due for launch in May 2027. The programme allows owners to compare different uses of enclosed volume and outside deck space rather than studying one design in isolation.

These are confirmed show plans, not evidence that the boats have already arrived or that the unlaunched FD85s is afloat. Anyone arranging a personal visit should reconfirm berths and appointments with the builder before the show begins.

The FD110's approach to extended cruising

FD110 Tri-Deck Hull 7 has been built to Bureau Veritas classification for extended cruising in American waters. Horizon's published layout includes an owner's suite on the main deck, four additional guest staterooms below and a range of enclosed and open entertaining areas.

White oak, silver-grey lacquer and a Versace Statuario White marble dining table are among the finishes highlighted for the actual yacht. They help define the formal and informal living spaces, but visitors should also examine how the galley, service routes and crew areas function when guests are aboard.

Twin Caterpillar C32B engines provide propulsion according to the yard's release. The show announcement does not give independently verified speed and fuel-consumption figures for Hull 7, so prospective owners should seek the appropriate sea-trial records and equipment schedules.

FD90 and FD80 offer different balances

FD90 Skyline Hull 34 emphasises sociable interior volume with an enclosed skylounge and a main saloon that can be separated from the galley through a movable partition. Horizon lists twin Caterpillar C32A engines, with the accommodation arranged around a main-deck master and lower guest suites.

The yacht's mixture of washed wenge, brushed oak and patterned quartz illustrates the builder's emphasis on owner-selected finishes. The more consequential question for a buyer is how the floorplan supports private family use, occasional guests and crew movements during a long cruising passage.

FD80 Skyline Hull 19 is smaller but retains an enclosed skylounge, a four-stateroom arrangement and direct access to an aft terrace. Owners comparing the two will need to consider berth availability, usable outdoor shade and service access rather than treating an extra few feet as the only meaningful difference.

The FD85s preview looks beyond the show

Horizon will also preview FD85s Hull 20, a project aimed partly at fishing and active cruising. It is intended to add a larger cockpit and the FD series' first crow's nest, while retaining an on-deck owner suite and other accommodation in a four-stateroom arrangement.

The yacht is expected to launch in May 2027, so the preview is information about a future hull rather than a physical world premiere. The owner-oriented layout may appeal to buyers who want a more open activity deck without abandoning the high-volume approach of the FD range.

The official release identifies the particular yachts scheduled for Fort Lauderdale and provides imagery of FD110 Hull 7. A visit should help owners test the size and practical circulation of those spaces before discussing options or changes for a future commission.
