Horizon is the yard from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, building motor yachts and power catamarans from about 60 to 150 feet. Most Horizons you can charter are 60 to 99 footers in the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
At the standard we recommend, a crewed Horizon costs about $105,000 a week in high season in the Bahamas, for an 85 to 105 footer, and the 135 footers run $140,000 to $160,000. The 60 to 99 footers run about $45,500 to $52,000.
We charter Horizons in the Bahamas and the BVI, and our guide for each is linked below.
