Horizon Elegance 70 Motor Yacht Review

"Don't worry," says boating-industry stalwart Russell Wright perched on the rear deck of the Horizon 68 camera boat, "I've got a Yacht Controller." And with that and a couple of wiggles of his fingers he deftly manoeuvres the towering motoryacht towards the fuel wharf. Yet the Yacht Controller is just one item of cool kit that stands Horizons in good stead with prospective buyers. The established Taiwanese yard, 24-years young but already among the world's top-10 biggest boatbuilders by length, assuages a clientele that's accustomed to conveniences, comforts and living in the lap of luxury. Indeed, we're up for it…

Our five-star boating experience begins as we step onto the decks of the Horizon Elegance 70 (hull #4). Her contemporary lines and great volume command attention, as does the heady melange of marble, granite and high-gloss timber joinery. Then the plush freestanding furniture, if not the homelike accommodation soon after, beckon. Throw some glass cabinets, mirrors and trick lighting into the mix and the transition is surely seamless for owners accustomed to the high life.

But the Horizons are more than show ponies; they are workhorses that can gallop places. Add a backdrop from some faraway cruising destination, a pair of stabilisers so you don't spill your cocktail as the crew rustle-up canapés, and your experience is enriched. Finally sated, you fly out by seaplane, as the paid hands shift your floating home to, well, new horizons.

Such is the charter of so many Horizons and the Elegance 70 that offers all these possibilities. But this boat also transports you to an altogether new place. While the marque is coveted around the world for interiors - indeed, no two Horizons are the same - the new E Series speaks Italian rather than Taiwanese.

Based on the 68 but with a bigger swimplatform, the Elegance 70 is the work of one Tommaso Spadolini, whose portfolio includes the yacht Fortuna made for the King of Spain and the yacht Nina J that won the 2006 Cannes World Yachts-Trophies. Interior-wise, the finish from the factory is refreshingly new with two-pack matt-white liners, carefully chosen colour accents, and apartment-like furniture. The idea was to show the possibilities and send a message that Horizon doesn't just build teak-topped Asian boats.

MAKING ITS MARQUE

We were overjoyed to meet Captain Wright, the sales principal behind Horizon in Australia, with whom this writer first tested a boat some 25 years ago. That was when we were all driving trailerables. Since 2006, Russell joined the local Queensland-based Horizon dealership, where some 30 boats have since been sold to all manner of clients in various ports around Australia.

Incredibly, there were 13 Horizons imported locally in 2008, but even in these lean times, we're told, there are five new boats on order: two 100-footers, a 94, 74, and 54-footer. Collectively, that's some $27 million in boats. Who's buying multimillion-dollar motoryachts in this climate? The top end of town, of course. Miners and those involved in the industry, property developers, semi-retired business owners, and entrepreneurs. The latest shipment of Horizons is bound for Adelaide, Sydney and Perth.

It also helps that Horizons are bought and sold in US dollars and, for this reason, they're considerably cheaper than two years ago. In fact, the word is that there's at least 20 per cent better value today. Two years back, a 97 was selling for about $10 million loaded. You can now get one for $6.5 million. What about resale? There's the rub for previous owners, but if they trade-up they'll be buying more boat for less.

BUILT TO LAST

Horizon uses the SCRIMP process for its hulls up to 130 feet, which are built in its Atech yard. The process involves vacuum bagging to create a one-piece hull with solid-glass bottom, foam-cored longitudinal stringers, and composite sides and decks. All hulls are built to Det Norske Veritas (DNV) certification, which basically means survey standards, before being fitted out in a separate yard.

It's in the Vision yard that Horizon's in-house interior designers added the Italianate touches borrowed from various boats seen around the world and/or built for previous clients. The demonstrator's floor-plan features four-cabins forward but three cabins and three heads are standard, with options for five and even six cabins if you plan to carry crew. As for interiors, well, you are bound only by your imagination rather than Horizon.

The E70 should also arouse interest for its interesting hull form. There is a huge amount of volume forward, but thankfully most of it lifts bodily out of the water at planing speed, leaving a sharp forefoot with plenty of rake to slice the waves. Pronounced reverse chines keep the spray away, while the generous 5.95m beam is especially noticeable when you enter the full-width owner's stateroom.

With hydraulic Zero Speed stabilisers fitted, you can anchor away from the marina in a busy bay, as might be needed, and stay aboard in comfort. The stablisers use electronic sensors to react in real time to correct up to 90 per cent of roll at rest, while also functioning when underway at displacement speeds in beam-on seas.

FULLY LOADED

As with most boats, we came aboard via the blunt end, where a considerable swimplatform adds to the waterfront real estate and justifies the 70-model designation over its former 68 guise. The hydraulic swimplatform can launch a jetski, while the twin PTOs on the engines for this launcher also power the ABT 38hp hydraulic bow and stern thrusters. Thus, should one engine fail, you still have thrusters.

There were underwater lights, a garage for a Williams 325 jet-powered or Walker Bay tender, and steps up to the elevated cockpit whose height above the waterline underscores the fact there's plenty of volume for that tender, utility room and twin CAT C18 engines. In fact, the engineroom with headroom and Delta T ventilation is a real highlight and the engineering has evolved over time to become a strength of the marque.

A scan of the engineering revealed twin Racor fuel filters per engine, easy-check coolant bottles, oil-change system, sight gauges on tanks, underwater exhausts, air compressor, and excellent sound insulation. All the lighting on the boat is LED, there's a 2500W inverter, three separate chargers for engine-start, generator start and house batteries, and 12/24V converters.

Twin 50amp Shorepower leads run the boat's full suite of gear, via optional soft-start systems, when not using one of the twin generators. Air-con is the superior chilled-water type, a Sea Recovery watermaker was fitted, and there were AC waterpump and backup DC pump. Intercoms throughout the boat let you call for help or lunch should you need it.

Indeed, the E70 arrived loaded. Bose takes care of entertaining, with separate TVs and CD/DVD players in every cabin, while a Raymarine electronics package using large-screen E Series looks after the serious business of navigation. The E70 also had the aforesaid Yacht Controller with wireless remote, cockpit docking station, satellite television, hotel-grade innerspring mattresses on all beds, granite stateroom and galley counters, and just enough teak trim above decks to remind you that you are indeed boating.

OUT AND ABOUT

As with all good motoryachts, the cockpit is a beauty that can seat a crowd of at least 10 around a high-gloss teak table once you add some deck chairs. As touched on, there's oodles of room below to store such things, watersports gear and more. The inbuilt Umbrella-upholstered rear lounge converts to a sunpad or daybed under the flybridge overhang. An optional top-loading cockpit fridge was provided.

Details such as concealed cleats, (optional) side gates, deep and wide partially-covered bulwarks, with high rails so they are dog and kid friendly, were a feature when traipsing forward. This is something you could do with safety in a seaway or with champagne glass in hand during a go-slow sunset cruise. A pulpit seat in the bow lies in wait and there's a forward-facing lounge for two couples, with a big sunpad for them behind.

We were impressed by the heavy-duty anchoring gear, with colour-coded chain and chart fixed near the well, by the oversized cleats, and side fender lockers. But for most the focus will be on using the foredeck as a lifestyle area. That said, on the good days, the elevated flying bridge and its rear deck offer even greater views.

Bridge access is via moulded cockpit stairs or internal staircase. Up top, there's just a single helm seat before a centre console more in keeping with a sportscruiser - we would prefer twin seats instead - while the hardtop with glass windscreen has clear Strataglass side curtain panels. Besides a full spread of electronics, there were generator start buttons, bilge alarms, stabiliser controllers, and tank gauges at this main helm station.

Guests will ride aft on an L-shaped lounge for eight, near an amenities centre with fridge, sink and hot-rock barbie. At rest, the aft bridgedeck will call, perhaps for owners upon sun lounges, if not at sunset with a crowd and cocktail in hand.

SALOON WITH VIEWS

Asia certainly makes way for Europe when you waltz inside the Elegance 70: there is white two-pack in place of the usual soft ceiling and wall liners, free-standing home-like furniture, plush shag carpet, trick blinds, and judicious use of high-gloss cherrywood that's a highlight rather than overwhelming as with some Asian-made boats.

Light pours into the lower saloon or sunroom, where a couple of lounges and a single seater can swallow six before a brace of coffee tables. Two half steps forward deliver you to the dedicated freestanding dining setting flanked by display cabinets with vases and dark-timber joinery.

Ceiling features, different wall textures daubed chocolate, trick air-con vents, a ship's door to starboard and small window opposite complete the mix. Otherwise, the large 3D television with Bose AV system will create the desired entertainer's layout.

The galley that feeds back to the dinette is nothing if not handy. Appliances include wine cooler, upgraded twin-door fridge-freezer with icemaker, additional fridge-freezer drawers, Miele combo oven, hot plates and range hood, and central vac and separate Miele washer/dryer elsewhere. A wetbar and wine fridge is opposite the galley.

The overall effect on the Elegance 70 seen here was more upmarket apartment than traditional boat and that might lure a different demographic aboard. As we said, there's some new money about courtesy of the mining boom. Those with a flare for interior design will certainly lose themselves when creating <I>their</I> Horizon.

FOUR PLUS THREE

Seven steps descend to the accommodation forward, which again hints at the high volume aboard. Naturally, the aft stateroom is the highlight. I made sure the generator was running but it was barely audible thanks also to the 3M insulation. There was nothing to take your focus away from views and fresh air out the opening portholes, but perhaps the walk-in robe and lounge, starboard dresser that doubles as an office should work call, and the bed that is sufficiently large to swallow a giant. Ditto the en suite shower, with the Tecma head that's switchable from fresh to saltwater. A safe is squirreled away for the family jewels.

Next best abode is the VIP cabin with queen bed up front that, because of the full-beam forward design and exceptional volume again, doesn't command a high jump to access.  And it's got its own en suite. The third cabin to starboard has twin adult-sized single beds, with the fourth cabin featuring crossover bunks as a likely kid's retreat. A third head doubles for communal use, but everyone has their own AV system.

GOLD COAST CRUISING

We gad about the Gold Coast, cruised through the Seaway, and tracked north as you do at this time of year. The Horizon Elegance 70 cut a pretty picture travelling alongside. The boat travels flat but with longitudinal lift so it's not a bow-up running attitude. High freeboard helps keep it dry at go-slow speeds.

But to be frank, there wasn't anything to challenge the boat by way of wind and waves. From our experiences, Horizons have always had a solid, heavy-boat feel even despite the SCRIMP process. As a light ship, the Elegance 70 displaces a not inconsiderable 51 tons to which you can add 4232lt of fuel and 1322lt of water, a 750lt holding tank, and all the gear.

Some hours later, we returned from whence we had come. "Don't worry, I've got the Yacht Controller," quipped Captain Wright as he single-handedly shifted the boat back against the deck. We stepped off without a worry, but our Gold Coast apartment with water glimpses just didn't seem the same that night.

(Facts & figures) HORIZON ELEGANCE 70 MOTOR YACHT

BEHIND THE WHEEL

Twin 1150hp Caterpillar C18 ACERT diesel engines, hefty 3in shafts and four-blade props get the 51-ton (light load) ship up and running smartly, but the boat and its occupants will be equally comfortable trucking for long periods of time at 10kts displacement hull speed using 60lt/h for a 630nm-plus range from 90 per cent of the 4232lt tank. Meanwhile, with stabilisers deployed, the 70-footer feels very surefooted, headstrong and willing to range farther north.

tradeaboat says… The Horizon Elegance 70 is one of the boating life's best contradictions: fast but frugal (at displacement speeds), Taiwanese with Italian styling, big but easily handled, in the multi-million league but better value than before thanks to exchange rates. Best of all, the semi-custom yard lets you create your own personal boat no matter where your tastes may lie. Even though we went nowhere much at all, it was nice to get away from oppressive high-gloss timber.

Horizon’s 70-M/Y is dedicated to safety and comfort at sea. with a single-mold fiberglass yacht keel to waterline, for strength; foam coring above the waterline to reduce weight; plus foam-cored stringers. Watertight bulkheads and doors are installed in the transom, engine room, and pilothouse, in addition to a collision bulkhead forward at the chain locker. Before the 1990s there were no classifications or compliance codes established for high-speed, light craft. Since that time, the Class societies have worked with builders and naval architects to publish standards for private yachts, resulting in safety and quality levels unprecedented in the past, for craft of this size. The option is still one that few U.S. builders can offer. Horizon builds yachts from 62’ to 130’ in three separate state-of-the-art shipyards, with the Main yard in Taiwan certified for ISO 9002 and DNV standards. The engineering section employs an unprecedented 15 naval architects, engineers, and designers, using CAD computer programs to engineer Horizon yachts to the owner’s specifications. Yachts more than 70’ are constructed there, in a yard that has water tanks so massive they are capable to do initial hull testing, before rigorous sea trials. The company’s Vision yard builds yachts from 62’ to 70’ also meeting ISO and DNV standards, dedicated to professionalism. The third (SCRIMP) facility is a 300,000 sq.ft. yard – world’s largest of its kind – which services both the Main and Vision yards. The Custom design phase of the 70 M/Y starts from there: a superbly sea-worthy yacht with an interior fashioned to the owner’s needs. Full walk-around side decks – with hefty, 2-inch handrails – provide access to the cruising, living, and operational areas.

A curved stairway leads from the back deck, with teak steps, to the party-prone upper helm area; shaded and weather-protected by the radar arch and navigational equipment, as well as a pair of Buell air horns. It sports a non-skid fiberglass deck, and a full helm with captain’s chair. Ample sunbathing room invites with sunpads, as well as a U-shaped settee with high-low table, a wet bar including sink, combo refrigerator w/ice maker and barbecue grill. Aft, on the flybridge, ample space is set aside for carrying a RIB tender, w/outboard, or a matching set of jet-skis...

In highly finished mahogany woods, the bridge offers an adjustable helm chair with footrest facing the rounded instrument display, over an expansive stainless steel wheel. Both helm stations feature full instrumentation, with a complete set of engine gauges, monitors for all systems – navigation, radar, fuel and water management, bilge pumps, and blowers. Danforth compasses are central, as well as an Elbex closed circuit TV monitor with two cameras (aft deck and engine room).

Satin finished light mahogany woods carry the welcoming design motif, from the half room-size mirror in the overhead with its distinctive rounded wood trim, to the beveled-edge coffee table, which can be elevated to act as a dining or gaming table. The open layout of the salon adds measurably to the aura of spaciousness, entered aft through a full-length sliding glass door, with the vista leading forward to the galley, separated by only a stand-up bar.

The salon is, of course, the main recreational and social center of this handsome yacht, with a tasteful design motif and comfortable color harmony. Large, frameless windows – with 10mm safety glass – line both sides, providing marvelous sea and shore views; while a grand, deep-cushioned, L-shaped settee – in off-white ecru leather – faces an oversized Panasonic flat-screen TV at the port side.

Just steps away from the galley and a wide serving bar, the dinette, forward on the main deck, is adjacent to the stairway down to the stateroom area. The sizeable galley could easily be called a country kitchen, with its walking and working space. Full size appliances allow eager chefs to star at their best, while capacious storage areas invite stowage of the finest provisions for day to day and party to party.

Graceful curves sweep all corners of the fine cabinetry in the openness of the salon. A semi-circular dinette is swathed in luxurious, soft creamy leather, backed by varnished light mahogany. The ovoid table easily serves five to seven, with auxiliary chairs.

Identical curved ceiling décor also adorns the master suite, which sports a striking island king size berth, bed tables, and a mirrored headboard. Storage beneath the berth is excellent for oversized items, holding plenty of volume, while to starboard a large armoire offers adequate space for a clothes display to meet any occasion.

Adjacent to the bedroom, the master head features twin sinks inlaid with a curved wood face, set in marble or granite countertops and backsplash. Fixtures are top quality, chosen to accent to the owner’s tastes. Bed lamps add a colorful, homey touch. Between the two suites a washer/dryer combination is built in. The VIP stateroom, centered at the bow, is beam-wide, larger than in most yachts this size. Boasting a queen size island berth, comfortable head and shower, and plenty of clothes storage, its décor matches the yacht’s vanilla/lite-chocolate theme.

Two wide staircases, with teak steps, lead from the spacious teak swim platform to the salon, which boasts its own hot/cold shower. The staircases enclose the crew quarters, which include twin berths, head/shower, couch, small galley, chair and table. A watertight engine room door, full size, opens in the center of the transom to reach the engine room. The aft deck – protected from the weather by an extended upper deck – overlooks the stern and provides comfortable seating and drink holders, as well as a table, for those who would rather relax and watch all the swimming action.

Adjacent to the engine room, the control room displays all system monitors in a stand-up compartment, well organized for easy scanning, and highly unusual for a yacht this size. In all, a list of 75 controls, systems and individual equipment items are continually checked for optimum performance.

A pleasurable walk-in with full head room, white finish, and fluorescent lighting, the engine room provides a convenient approach to the twin CAT 800 hp diesels, with overhead grab rails that allow movement even in a choppy seaway. Meticulous planning also brings easy accessibility to the engine blocks, fuel filters, and regularly maintained accessories. Those include dual Racor fuel filters/water separators, four engine start batteries, the Onan 27.5 kw generator, and battery chargers.

Introducing the new Horizon FD70

Just six short months after unveiling the brand new FD77 motor yacht, which debuted at the Palm Beach Boat Show, Horizon is proud to announce yet another addition to its next-generation Fast Displacement Series. At 70 feet LOA, the new FD70 is positioned as the entry-level yacht in the voluminous series, which now spans to 125 feet in length.

Taking its place at the entrance of the Cor D. Rover-designed series known for its unparalleled volume, innovative functionality and intelligent layout, the FD70 is itself a remarkable achievement in terms of design and naval architecture. Intended for owner/operators, the FD70 features a raised pilothouse design that accommodates both an open bridge and a lower helm area. Uniquely, the FD70 is a four-stateroom yacht, which includes a full-beam, on-deck master stateroom fitted with an en suite and walk-in closets, and three spacious staterooms comprised of a queen, double and twin on the lower deck. Accommodations for two crew members are found aft, and a beach club is optional. As with each Horizon model, a variety of well-planned layout options are offered with the FD70, as is the ability to customize to suit one’s onboard lifestyle. To satisfy Horizon’s international reach, owners are given a variety of choices, including the option to situate the galley and formal dining area aft on the main deck, or eschew the fixed formal dining option in favor of a convertible dining table that further maximizes space. Horizon’s Fast Displacement series has been extremely successful since it was first unveiled at the Taiwan International Boat Show in 2016. The striking exterior profile showcases large sections of glass and expansive deck areas while a wide beam and innovative High Performance Piercing Bow design and hull form accommodate unparalleled volume within. The FD Series has seen impressive sales in the three years since it was first introduced, with 25 FD series yachts in production for the U.S., Europe and Asia. “The phenomenal success of the FD Series led to many clients asking us if we could create something that offered the same amenities, space and performance as the larger FD yachts but in a smaller footprint to accommodate a 68- to 70ft berth and easy owner operation,” said company CEO John Lu. “It was a challenging brief, but not impossible!” To achieve a four-stateroom layout with a full-beam, on-deck master and maintain the volume and innovative features that define the FD Series required thoughtful consideration on the part of Cor D. Rover and Horizon’s R&D and naval architecture teams. The biggest challenge the team faced was balancing the shorter length with the signature FD Series styling and spacious interior. “Traditional yacht design would not enable to incorporation of this layout and features in an under-80ft yacht,” says designer Cor D. Rover. “But the team at Horizon excels at thinking outside of the proverbial box and we were able to carefully accommodate all of the desired features. This is just another example of Horizon’s willingness to be innovative and push the envelope.” The introduction of the new FD70 marks an exciting moment for Horizon, as it expands the series to include a very popular size range for Horizon clients. The brand new FD70 is currently in the tooling phase with the first two hulls specified for the European and American markets, respectively. Hull One is expected to make its world debut at the 2020 Horizon Open House in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in January. LINK TO THE FD SERIES ORDER BOOK: https://reurl.cc/EKZa1g

Thanks to the extremely rapid response and safety protocols implemented by the Taiwanese government at the onset of the coronavirus outbreak, the Horizon Yachts headquarters and shipyards in Kaohsiung are able to continue business operations as normal.

HORIZON YACHT USA OFFICE

Following local government guidelines, Horizon Yachts USA has resumed regular office hours in our North Palm Beach location. We strongly encourage appointments for any in-person office visits and require all visitors to abide by local mandates currently in effect. Boat showings and sea trials in the Fort Lauderdale office will continue by appointment.

The health and safety of our entire Horizon family, from our owners and their families to our staff and friends, remains our top priority. We will continue to closely monitor the coronavirus situation and remain committed to mitigating risk wherever possible. We look forward to welcoming you when our events and operations resume as normal!

Livin' Wright features a three-stateroom layout plus crew. Her interior design is open, and spacious and is finished in beautiful handcrafted maple with accents of burl and mahogany. The salon seamlessly flows into the dining area with a galley and helm.

As you proceed down the spiral staircase, the master stateroom is located aft. Walking forward is the VIP. As you enter from the salon if you go to port and walk down the spiral stairs, you will enter into the crew quarters and engine compartment. 

From the aft swim deck, you have another easy access point into the crew compartment which flows easily into the port guest stateroom, and just forward is access to the engine room.

Livin Wright is powered by twin 1550 Caterpillar engines. She is powered with twin Onan 27KW and 13.5KW generators. The engine room is spacious - a 6 foot five person can comfortably stand and walk between both motors, easy to check while underway.

Back on the aft deck, there is a nice large teak table for lounging and alfresco dining with great views of the harbor, or out at anchor.

As you go up to the flybridge helm, a sun lounger and teak table with four chairs are located aft where you can view the stars in the evening enjoying a nice glass of wine or sit cozy with a cup of coffee in the morning. In addition, a davit for a dinghy is located up there.

Moving forward to the flybridge helm deck, you have a large L-shaped couch with storage underneath and a beautiful teak table to lounge around. To port you have two beautiful stidd helm chairs that provide great visibility for easy operation of vessel.

Please call today to set up your showing and start your next boating adventure, or to start your first. Don't wait another day to start enjoying your life!

• Shafts Turned and True
