esigned as an

entry-level

motor yacht

with super

yacht attitude,

the new Horizon V68 satisfies

a specific cruising lifestyle:

owner operation. The V68

was a concept nearly nine

years in the making, and

ultimately was created in

collaboration with world-

renowned designer Jonathan

Quinn Barnett ( JQB) in

response to one question:

“What is the largest vessel

two people, or perhaps

a small family, could use

to comfortably and safely

discover the world of

yachting?”

Immediately striking in

appearance thanks to a

plumb bow design – and

only the second Horizon

model apart from the FD

series to feature such – the

V68 has been planned

throughout with large open

spaces, wide side decks and

a voluminous interior that

takes advantage of large

windows in the main deck

and cabins and a 6m beam.

Unique to an entry-

level motor yacht such as

the V68 is the option for

customisation, and owners

are given the choice of

at least two major layout

options for each deck. The

V68 offers a three or four-

cabin layout with a private

and spacious master suite

located midship with a walk-

in closet and vanity.

On the main deck,

the design emphasises

unobstructed views to

enhance the feeling of

spaciousness with an open

saloon that flows into a large

joined galley and country

kitchen.

The open flybridge, which is

the standard configuration

for this model, features a bar

with dinette seating under

the hardtop while a spacious

sunbathing and dining area

is found further forward on

the bow.
