Horizon Yachts Debuts First Galley-Aft FD80 in Australia

Horizon Yachts has launched a new #fd80 motor #yacht. Specified with numerous innovative features, this is the first #fd80 model in #australia to feature a galley-aft layout, a convertible VIP and a helipad on the hardtop.

The aft galley arrangement is a popular configuration for Australia’s active boating market, as it seamlessly integrates indoor/outdoor entertaining. This increases the living area afforded by the high- volume, four-stateroom #fd80 exponentially. The sense of space begins at the customized aft deck, which is fitted with a large dining table for eight, a pull-out Teppenyaki grill station, two custom refrigerators, and sliding glass doors that intuitively blend with the open galley area and main salon forward.

A contemporary and energetic ambience is reflected in the #fd80 interior, which features a striking
satin light grey lacquer headliner with grey lacquer slats complemented by light Cadorin-European oak grey sand-varnished flooring. Backlit metal art mullions and black elements and hardware by Australian brand ABI Interiors add to the drama of the space. The spacious and well-equipped galley area features both a center and a peninsula island, the latter wrapped in Michelangelo quartzite and
featuring a bar with three stools separating the galley from the salon forward. A “Typography Vela” feature light from Australian brand Rakumba highlights the center island, which houses the microwave, ice maker, pull-out folding step stool and large vacuum drawer, while a pull-out pantry and convertible dining table for eight comprise the starboard side opposite. A wall of Rex-Marquinia tile serves as a stunning backdrop for the entertainment center with its 75” television on the forward bulkhead and highlights the salon that features a convivial U-shaped lounge area with leather side table, coffee table and ottomans.

Forward on the main deck, the master ensuite stateroom features a king-size bed with overhead skylight with motorized blinds and plentiful storage and closet space. A 10” Garmin MFD screen is incorporated into this room as an extension of the yacht’s Garmin navigational package implemented in the wheelhouse console one deck above, which is adorned with a carbon fiber dashboard and faced by three helm chairs. A dayhead and raised dinette that converts to a sleeping bed are found aft.

The boat deck aboard this #fd80 is configured for the preferred Australian boating lifestyle, with an open split-use skylounge aft of the enclosed wheelhouse fitted with a dining table for eight, a built-in settee opposite a fold-up television, a heated Jacuzzi with bar counter and stools, a Teppenyaki grill station, a freezer and storage. Dedicated stowage space for a 15ft tender is created aft and the entire entertainment space is easily shaded by sun awnings.

A beach club with a hydraulic garage door and Hi/Lo swim platform invites interaction with the sea on the lower deck, while the crew mess with its full-height refrigerator, utility area and cabins for up to four crew are positioned just aft of the engine room housing the yacht’s 1,600hp MTU engines.
