Uniquely, this build also features the High Performance Piercing Bow (HPPB) design found in the Fast Displacement (FD) Series of yachts and, despite its model moniker, has an enlarged salon and galley in lieu of a raised pilothouse.
The result of this owner-driven design change is an incredibly spacious salon and well-equipped galley with high ceilings and plenty of natural light.
The RP125 is a five-stateroom yacht with an on-deck master suite and two VIP staterooms and two mirrored queen staterooms on the lower deck.
Sleek in her styling, with an open flybridge and elegantly stepped decks cascading to the bow, The RP100 on display features a spacious four-stateroom layout.

The RP100 offers a traditional superyacht configuration, with a spacious main salon opening from the aft deck and leading into the formal dining area with a grand country-kitchen-style galley forward. The raised pilothouse is accompanied by a large built-in settee, while the open flybridge offers U-shaped seating and a dinette, a wet bar and grill.
The two FD90 models on display each boast unique features that are indicators of Horizon´s willingness to engineer and customize to an owner´s specifications.
