VIDEO: First Horizon FD100 Skyline Yacht Revealed Ahead of 2026 Open House Debut

Horizon Yachts has announced the upcoming launch of the first Horizon FD100 Skyline yacht, a new configuration within its Fast Displacement series set to make its global debut at the 2026 Horizon Open House.

Positioned as a high-volume, fast displacement cruiser, the Horizon FD100 Skyline builds on the proven FD hull while introducing notable layout and styling changes that distinguish it from existing models in the range. It is 

A New Skyline Identity

The new FD100 Skyline is defined by a reshaped upper structure and a bespoke black radar arch that sharpens the yacht’s profile. The darker arch creates a strong visual break against the superstructure and reinforces the Skyline configuration’s more streamlined stance.

The result is a cleaner, more horizontal silhouette compared to the traditional tri-deck arrangement, while retaining the broad-beam proportions and interior volume that have become central to the Horizon FD Series.

Cor D. Rover Shapes a New Interior Direction

Inside, Cor D. Rover has developed a contemporary scheme centered on fluid forms and a restrained palette. High-gloss Koto wood contrasts with matte black and white lacquer finishes in the main salon, where mirrored gunmetal titanium ceiling detailing introduces depth without overwhelming the space. Cabinet hardware in brushed stainless steel and layered materials give the interior a tactile quality.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing defines the main deck of the motor yacht, drawing natural light deep into the salon. Indirect LED lighting is used in place of concentrated spotlights, creating a softer atmosphere that complements the panoramic views.

A key change on the FD100 platform is an open galley arrangement directly aft of the salon. Rather than isolating the culinary space, the layout places it at the center of the main deck, linking preparation, dining, and social areas.

The galley island is finished in Serenity Gold stone and supported by matte black reeded columns in a semi-circular form. Mixed-finish faucets in gunmetal and black, stainless steel trim, and a geometric ceiling with integrated lighting give the space a distinct architectural character. The configuration shifts the FD100 toward a more informal, interaction-focused layout.

Main Deck Owner’s Suite

True to the FD Series format, the superyacht retains a five-stateroom configuration. The full-beam owner’s suite sits forward on the main deck, providing elevated views and separation from guest accommodations.

Below deck, four ensuite staterooms serve guests. A forward VIP cabin and a port-side guest cabin feature sliding bed systems that convert between twin and double arrangements, giving the layout added flexibility for different cruising plans.

Alfresco Living Anchored Around Jacuzzi and Bar

The Skyline configuration shifts attention to the split-use skylounge and bridge deck aft. Rather than a traditional open sundeck, this area acts as the primary outdoor entertainment zone.

A bespoke bar counter integrates a flat-top teppanyaki grill finished with black, rock-textured countertops. An octagonal heated Jacuzzi with RGB lighting forms the focal point, surrounded by Tribù teak furniture arranged for both daytime lounging and evening gatherings. The arrangement creates a defined alfresco space directly connected to the skylounge, reinforcing the Skyline concept’s emphasis on open-air living at a lower overall profile.

The enclosed pilothouse emphasizes function while maintaining a consistent material language. Black leather surfaces are paired with polished stainless steel accents and Koto wood trim. Dark oak flooring grounds the space, which also includes a relaxation sofa and a dedicated day head.

Performance Backed by Proven FD Hull

Performance remains anchored in the FD platform’s fast displacement hull. The yacht is powered by twin MAN 2000ps engines and fitted with Side-Power stabilization systems intended to support comfort underway and at anchor.

A hydraulic hi-lo swim platform and integrated garage improve water access and tender handling. The configuration supports extended cruising while maintaining the FD Series’ established balance between speed and efficiency.

The first Horizon FD100 Skyline is on the market with Horizon and has a price upon request. 

How It Compares: FD100 Skyline vs FD100 Tri-Deck

The FD100 Skyline joins the existing Horizon FD100 Tri-Deck as an alternative configuration on the same 30.94-meter platform. The Tri-Deck version is constructed in GRP and reaches a reported top speed of 20 knots, with a range of up to 2,000 nautical miles. It also offers five cabins for up to ten guests, including a main-deck master suite.

The defining distinction lies in the upper structure. The Tri-Deck features a lightweight open sundeck above the bridge deck, complete with helm station, seating, and additional outdoor amenities. This three-level arrangement prioritizes maximum deck area and vertical separation between spaces.

By contrast, the Skyline consolidates exterior entertainment into the bridge deck level and replaces the traditional sundeck with a sleeker, lower-profile silhouette. Owners choosing between the two are effectively selecting between expanded top-deck space and a more streamlined superstructure with a centralized outdoor focus.

The FD100 Skyline will make its first public appearance at Horizon’s 2026 Open House, marking the formal introduction of this new configuration to the global market.
