TESTIMONIALS

My husband and I have just had the easiest, most pleasant experience buying a yacht. Between us, we have purchased twenty boats of all sizes and types and have been messing around with boats for the past forty years. Horizon’s, Grenada West Indies broker, Gary Haynes is truly one of the best. He is honest, Continue Reading

I'm not in the habit of writing recommendations on the Internet. That said, I wanted to highlight my experience with the Horizon team and particularly Gary Haynes (Operations & Yacht Sales Manager). I bought and sold my monohull with Gary's help and support. Gary is extremely professional and skilled at determining your needs and searching Continue Reading

Gary Haynes at Horizon Yachts was a pleasure to work with.

He used his experience and contacts in selling yachts to actively contact interested buyers, and was able Continue Reading

Gary recently sold our FP Lipari, and we were very impressed with the service.

I want to give Gary & Horizon my best recommendation and I would like to thank them for the Continue Reading

We have known Gary for quite some time. He’s a great guy, honest, and knowledgeable. He sold our boat, and “team Horizon” backed him up on it. We, as sellers, always felt he had our best interest in mind. When we first considered selling our boat, the common advice was to bring it out of Continue Reading

Well, we are both thrilled and grateful Gary !!!  Again thanks.  Thanks too for always being so ready to assist us with all our questions.  

We purchased our boat from Gary from Horizon Yachts best decision ever.  Gary was very professional, knowledgeable in all aspects of boat issues and transparent.

Horizon launches latest custom-built FD80 for Australia

Horizon Yachts has launched the eleventh hull in its 25-metre FD80 series, which is ready to debut in Australia.

Standout features include a custom interior by series architect Cor D. Rover and a split-use skylounge with heated Jacuzzi.

Accommodation is across four cabins, including an on-deck master cabin with independent vanity and honeycomb skylight. There are further quarters for four crew. The interiors are open-plan, featuring a main saloon accompanied by a multi-functional dining space with a convertible dining and breakfast table. 

Styled with soft, rounded architectural lines, light grey oak is incorporated throughout the living spaces, complemented by gold accents for a chic minimalist aesthetic. Furnishings are owed to Australian firm ABI Interiors.

There are also ample social spaces outside, including the bow which is fitted with a U-shaped dinette and sunpads. The most-used area is likely to be the sheltered skylounge, however, fitted with a full bar, pull-out Teppanyaki grill and fold down 43-inch television. 

The skylounge also benefits from a heated Jacuzzi with its own bar counter and a U-shaped sofa with an extendable dining table. When the tender is deployed, freestanding furniture creates an impromptu convivial area.

"We are delighted to welcome another Cor D. Rover Signature Series design to our market," says Horizon Yacht Australia director Mark Western. "The modern interior styling of this new FD80 showcases the luxurious finishes available in the FD Series, while the abundant use of curves is a testament to Horizon’s craftsmanship and customization capability."

This follows the Taiwanese shipyard's recent sale of its latest FD90 – the first to feature a split-use skylounge.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
