23m Horizon V74 EVO Enters Final Stages of Construction Ahead of Delivery

Horizon Yachts has announced that the first Horizon V74 EVO is nearing completion, with the new flybridge motor yacht entering the final stages of construction ahead of sea trials and delivery to Europe this summer.

The 23m Horizon yacht is the latest model in its range. Built in GRP, the flybridge yacht is now scheduled to begin its sea trials next week before being delivered ahead of her world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

Final construction phase brings first V74 EVO closer to completion

The motor yacht is rapidly approaching completion as construction enters its final phase at Horizon’s Taiwanese shipyard. With delivery to Europe scheduled for later this summer, the project has reached a major milestone ahead of launch. During next week's sea trial programme, Horizon’s engineers and technical teams will assess her performance, handling and onboard systems before she departs for the Mediterranean. The successful completion of these trials will represent one of the final steps before handover and her public debut.

A new generation of flybridge cruising

Developed as an evolution of Horizon's V-Series platform, the yacht has been designed to balance contemporary styling with practical cruising capabilities and comfortable onboard living. The boat offers the versatility expected from a modern flybridge yacht while retaining the semi-custom flexibility that has become a hallmark of the Horizon brand. Her design is aimed at owners seeking a manageable cruising platform capable of accommodating family and guests in comfort.

Spacious accommodation for owners and guests

The boat accommodates up to six guests across three cabins, including a full-beam master suite, a VIP cabin and a twin guest cabin. All guest cabins feature ensuite facilities, creating a comfortable environment for extended stays onboard. Separate crew accommodation for two allows service areas to remain distinct from guest spaces, supporting a relaxed and private onboard experience whether cruising with family or entertaining guests.

Cannes debut awaits following sea trials

Power comes from twin MAN V8-1200 diesel engines, each producing 1,200hp. Following successful completion of sea trials and delivery to Europe, the V74 EVO will make her global debut in September, where visitors will be able to explore the new model firsthand.
