In the Words of Horizon Owners THE TESTIMONIES OF OUR OWNERS SPEAK OF THE QUALITY OF OUR YACHTS AND OUR TEAM’S COMMITMENTTO THEIR COMPLETE SATISFACTION. "When my wife and I decided to build our first custom yacht, we had many apprehensions: selecting a builder, deciding size, designing interior, budget, etc. After selecting Horizon, we realized we were going to make several long trips to Taiwan. Working with seasoned professionals like John, James, and Linda resulted in one of the most pleasurable projects that we could have imagined. The end result of this effort speaks for itself, when...

“We have had our Horizon for nearly two years now and what a magnificent motor yacht it is. From the initial trip to the factory to pick options, right up until delivery everything went smoothly and the people were very easy to deal with. The longest trip so far was to Sydney from the Gold Coast and it handled the seas beautifully, even when the seas turned unkind. The build quality and engineering that Horizon put into these yachts is second to none. Everything is easy to access and understand. My wife and I use our Horizon nearly every weekend so we have had a lot of time to get to know...

Simply stated the Horizon Team is a pleasure to work with. They make the build process a pleasurable exercise from the initial concept and hull design to the finished yacht. Every effort is made to deliver a high performance yacht that reflects the owners' individual design features and boating requirements. I along with my captain and engineer traveled to Kaohsiung to work individually with the Horizon team, specifically the architects, engineers and design teams to finalize every feature of the build. It was a perfect time to visit as the room partitions were in place but the walls were...

The Horizon History THE HORIZON GROUP WAS FOUNDED IN KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN BY JOHN LU, A SUCCESSFUL NAVAL ARCHITECT WITH A LIFELONG PASSION FOR BOATS AND THE SEA. LU’S MISSION WAS CLEAR AND REMAINS UNCHANGED TO THIS DAY: TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE DREAM YACHTS FOR HIS CLIENTS. Soon after the Horizon Croup was founded in 1987, Taiwan's prospering yachting industry experienced an unexpected recession. Undeterred, Horizon's founder and CEO John Lu made critical decisions over the next decade that served to keep this builder at the forefront of the very competitive yacht building industry. In 1989,...

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY Horizon was the first authorized yacht builder in Asia to utilize SCRIMP (Seemann Composites Resin Infusion Molding Process), a process originally developed by the U.S. Navy as a means to increase a vessel’s strength and durability without adding weight or affecting performance.

In 2009, Horizon was authorized by EADS (The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V.) through SAERTEX and also received authorization to...
