How does the Horizon Yachts build process work?
Each of Horizon Yachts 26 models offers a variety of layouts, designs and options available for personal customization. Our experienced in-house naval architects, engineers and interior designers work together with owners to tailor the yacht to their individual yachting lifestyle. Listening to your requirements and feedback, Horizon will help guide you within the build process and make your experience easy and enjoyable. We believe it is important for owners to be involved in the build of their yacht at every stage, which provides you the creative, hands-on ability to develop a Horizon yacht that is truly a reflection of you and your lifestyle.
