Latest Addition to Horizon FD85s Yacht Series Finds Distinctive Owner – An Exclusive Look Into The Structuring Process

Published: 19 Nov 2025
The 18th unit of Horizon FD85s yacht series has been sold, introduced by Pierre Badin, to a client who seeks a vessel tailored to nurturing their family’s unique lifestyle.

Emerging from the semi-custom Horizon FD85s yacht series, the 18th unit has sparked a wave of interest. With Pierre Badin of Denison Yachting Monaco personally introducing the new owner, we’re treated to a spectacle of unique customization that screams ‘family lifestyle’ from the hull up to the helipad.

The 26-meter vessel, currently under construction at a Taiwanese-based shipyard, promises an experience tailored to the buyer’s preference with an intense focus on outdoor entertaining. The design genius, Cor D. Rover, devised this model to be ‘open to interpretation’, transforming the owner’s vision into floating reality. The vessel, therefore, encapsulates spaces that evolve with the owner’s desires, focusing on family-friendly facilities, extended al fresco entertaining, and modular spaces.

Yet, the ingenuity doesn’t stop there. Among the yacht’s distinct features is a versatile cockpit designed for angling and leisure alike. Special, child-friendly adaptations include a fold-down transom for the owner’s grandchildren, as well as ample storage for water toys. The yacht also features a custom-built helipad and a hot tub located on the bow, further amplifying the yacht’s grandeur.

Under the current layout, the vessel accommodates guests in four opulent staterooms, including an on-deck, full-beam master suite, two VIP cabins amidships below deck, a versatile forward VIP with a convertible V-berth, and two crew cabins placed efficiently aft of the engine room.

‘This project is the epitome of the FD85s series’ originality. A vessel that fuses volume, efficiency, and adaptability in a way that perfectly appeals to active families prioritizing life on water, without a hint of compromise,’ raved Badin. Truly, this grand vessel redefines personalization in luxury yachting.
