Horizon Yachts Launches the Reimagined ES88 Superyacht, Now Christened KEΦI: A True Mix of Elegance and Adventure.
An air of excitement prickles through the sailing community as Taiwan based boat builders, Horizon Yachts, rollout their latest marvel, the reimagined ES88 motor yacht, now officially named KEΦI. The unveiling took place at their 2026 Open House event this month, held at their state-of-the-art facility in Kaohsiung.
The 27.3-metre superyacht strikes a high note in the industry as a testament to Horizon’s prowess in creating extraordinary sea-faring vessels. KEΦI not just refines, but entirely redefines the yard’s existing E Series into a superior and personalized sports design yacht. The customization is a nod to the Australian owner, a seasoned Horizon customer, who is also an elite angler.
Long-standing Horizon contributor Cor D. Rover is the mind behind the yacht’s sporty yet sophisticated all-white profile. This chic aesthetic continues throughout her interior too, where warm vinyl wood flooring and matte white and leatherette ceilings create an ambiance of modern luxury.
In addition to housing curved seating, a marble-topped walnut coffee tale, and dining area, KEΦI’s sociable space also flaunts a central, open galley adorned with dark grey matte cabinetry. High-gloss Koto wood louvers and stone countertops seamlessly blend utility with unimposing elegance. At every turn, the vessel marries contemporary aesthetics with practicality.
Horizon Yachts has succeeded in blending bespoke specifications into a stylish design, resulting in an irresistible yacht that embraces the unique values and needs of the owner. As KEΦI nears delivery, she represents a remarkable example of personalized yachting excellence, setting a new benchmark for future custom builds.
