Founded in 1987, Horizon stepped into the true megayacht field in mid-2005, and established a specialized shipyard dedicated to building the megayachts above 100 feet constructed with SCRIMP® resin infusion technology. Since then, Horizon have successfully delivered four 40m+ FRP superyachts which were completely custom-made to meet each owner’s dream, and built to meet full DNV Class Certification and MCA Compliance to ensure quality and safety.
