Horizon Yacht USA has confirmed four yachts for the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and will give an advance preview of the forthcoming FD85s.
Horizon Yacht USA has confirmed a four-yacht display for the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, led by the FD110 Tri-Deck alongside FD90 Skyline, FD80 Skyline and V77s models. The builder will also preview the next FD85s, scheduled for launch in May 2027, giving the show a mix of current yachts and a forthcoming design.
The largest yacht in Horizon’s announced display is FD110 Tri-Deck Hull 7, built to Bureau Veritas classification for extended cruising in American waters. The yacht combines five guest staterooms with multiple outdoor areas, including a foredeck Jacuzzi and a private sun lounge on the upper deck.
Twin Caterpillar C32B engines provide the propulsion package, while the interior uses washed white oak, silver-grey finishes and a formal marble dining table. The combination reflects the FD range’s emphasis on substantial internal volume within a comparatively compact overall length.
FD90 Skyline Hull 34 continues the series approach with an enclosed skylounge, on-deck owner’s suite and three lower VIP cabins. Horizon highlights the large boat deck and adaptable galley arrangement as examples of how it uses beam and superstructure volume to create spaces associated with larger yachts.
FD80 Skyline Hull 19 carries the same philosophy into a smaller platform, pairing a four-stateroom layout with a climate-controlled skylounge, aft terrace, integrated Jacuzzi and transom beach-club arrangement. Together the two yachts provide show visitors with a direct comparison across the FD family.
The V77s Hull 13 takes a different approach from the enclosed FD yachts, combining three guest staterooms with a hydraulic fold-down transom designed to create a waterside lounge at anchor. Horizon describes its interior as nature-led, using walnut, cedar and light upholstery across the principal living areas.
Its inclusion broadens the display beyond one series and shows how the builder addresses owners seeking a more compact, hands-on cruising format. The Fort Lauderdale line-up therefore spans different operating styles rather than simply presenting variations of a single platform.
Horizon will also show early material for FD85s Hull 20, which is due to launch in May 2027. The project is being configured for anglers and outdoor-focused cruising, with a large boat deck, dedicated cockpit and what Horizon says will be the first crow’s nest fitted within the FD Series.
The 2026 Fort Lauderdale show runs from 28 October to 1 November, placing the preview several months ahead of the planned launch. That gives the yard an opportunity to introduce the configuration to owners and brokers while the yacht is still progressing through its build programme.
