Horizon Yachts is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the world's first FD100 Skyline. Destined for the Australian market, FD100 Hull 15 combines the acclaimed high-volume performance of the Fast Displacement (FD) Series with a sleek Skyline configuration. This masterful vessel, featuring interior design by the renowned Cor D. Rover, will make its official global debut at the 2026 Horizon Open House.
A Striking Silhouette
FD100 Hull 15 is immediately distinguishable by her dynamic exterior profile. A bespoke black radar arch complements the FD Series' signature styling, echoing the fluidity of the Skyline design while imparting a sporty, fashion-forward aesthetic. This unique feature serves as a visual anchor, highlighting the yacht's streamlined elegance.
Sophisticated Modernity & A First-in-Class Galley
The interior design for Hull 15 represents a masterclass in "Contemporary Nautical Luxury," where fluid architecture meets a highly curated material palette. Successfully breaking away from rigid traditional yacht interiors, the design opts instead for organic forms that mirror the movement of the sea.
The main salon is a study in sophisticated contrast, featuring high-gloss Koto wood paired with matte black and white lacquer. Creating a layered, textural atmosphere, the space is accented by mirrored gunmetal titanium ceiling features along the main deck, while the cabinetry hardware showcases a refined stainless steel brush finish.
Flowing seamlessly from the salon is a pioneering feature for the FD100 model: the first-ever Open Galley design. This space serves as an interactive hub that blends function with artistic flair, defined by a geometric ceiling design with integrated LED lighting. By utilizing indirect "glow" rather than harsh spotlights, the interior feels luminous and calm, emphasizing the panoramic views offered by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Exquisite Serenity Gold stone defines the island, anchored by matte black reeded columns in a striking semi-circular form. The culinary environment balances beauty and function, highlighted by mixed-finish water faucets in gunmetal and black, and framed by stainless steel brush-finished metal trim.
Uncompromised Comfort and Volume
True to the FD Series DNA, Hull 15 offers a five-stateroom layout. The on-deck Master Stateroom spans the full beam, providing owners with unparalleled views. Below deck, four additional ensuite staterooms accommodate guests in luxury. The layout includes a flexible Fwd. VIP cabin and a Port guest cabin, both equipped with sliding beds that convert between single and double configurations.
A Professional Command Center
The Pilothouse is crafted to offer a professional yet modern driving atmosphere. Wrapped in black leather and accented with polished stainless steel and Koto wood, it balances aesthetics with ergonomics. The space features dark oak flooring, a comfortable relaxation sofa, and a dedicated Day Head, ensuring the captain and guests enjoy a superior and comfortable navigational experience.
The Ultimate Alfresco Experience
The lifestyle on board Hull 15 is elevated by the Split-Use Skylounge and Bridge Deck Aft, designed as the ultimate open-air social sanctuary. This area features a bespoke bar counter with an integrated flat-top Teppanyaki station, finished with black rock-textured countertops, inviting guests to enjoy culinary delights outdoors. Relaxation takes center stage with an octagonal heated Jacuzzi equipped with RGB mood lighting, surrounded by premium Tribù teak furniture, creating a versatile space for day-to-night entertainment.
Performance and Function
Beyond her stunning aesthetics, FD100 Hull 15 is engineered for refined performance and comfort. She is equipped with a hydraulic Hi-Lo swim platform and a garage design that facilitates easy access to water sports. Powered by twin MAN 2000ps engines and stabilized by Side-Power systems, she promises a smooth, quiet, and efficient ride across all sea conditions.
Horizon Yachts is poised to introduce this groundbreaking vessel at the 2026 Horizon Open House, marking another milestone in the evolution of the FD Series and showcasing the shipyard's commitment to defining the future of luxury yachting.
