Horizon Yachts is pleased to announce the delivery of the E78 and E88 motoryachts.



E78 has been handed over to a new owner in Florida, who says he “fell in love” with the vessel upon first viewing her; he has named her Breathless and plans to cruise the yacht in the Gulf Coast.



One of the most noteworthy features of this motoryacht is her hydraulic hard top and radar mast, which lowers at the touch of a button and brings the height of the E78 from 28’ to 20’6”, allowing her the flexibility to cruise in areas with fixed bridges. She offers a three en suite stateroom layout plus separate crew quarters aft of the engines, ensuring privacy for both owners and guests as well as a slew of amenities, such as the lower pilothouse and hydraulic swim platform. Equipped with twin CAT C32 1600HP engines, Breathless will reach a top speed of 25 knots, and she also includes zero speed stabilizers, bow/stern thrusters, Hamann sanitary treatment system, and more.



As for the E88, she has been named Christine and also handed over to her new owners in Florida.



This Horizon E88 was the first open bridge motoryacht built and also features the new beach club design, with a stern hydraulic garage door and Hi/Lo swim platform for watersports and outdoor fun.



The proud new owners knew Christine was the yacht for them after first viewing her – she fit the bill for everything on their list: four en suite staterooms plus separate crew quarters aft, a formal dining plus country kitchen layout, and numerous al fresco entertaining areas between the open flybridge, forward bow dinette and sunpads, and a large aft deck with a wet bar. As the owners planned to cruise the east coast, the Horizon E88’s twin CAT C32 1800HP engines, zero speed stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, and numerous other amenities were of great value to comfortably operating and cruising their new motoryacht.



Christine is currently cruising in the Chesapeake for the remainder of the summer and fall; the owners plan to head back south and spend time in Ocean Reef this winter. 



Last week the Taiwanese shipyard has delivered 33m Rebeca.

70m Project Thunderball Nears Completion at CRN
The 70-meter full-custom superyacht Project Thunderball is progressing through construction at CRN's Ancona facility, with delivery scheduled for 2026. Designed by Vripack with naval architecture focused on sailing yacht-inspired efficiency, the aluminum and steel vessel will serve as both a luxury yacht and support vessel for the owner's existing sailing yacht.With an 11-meter beam and 1,100 gross tonnage, Project Thunderball features five decks accommodating 12 guests and 15 crew. The design departs from conventional motor yacht aesthetics, incorporating a sharp bow entry and curved bilges reminiscent of sailing yachts - a direct request from the owner, an experienced regatta competitor. Vripack's co-creative director Marnix Hoekstra noted the hull's efficiency eliminated the need for a bulbous bow, with tank testing confirming unusually low resistance.The exterior design centers on a continuous shear line creating streamlined proportions, complemented by a top-deck winter garden enclosure. Custom elements include an oversized swim platform and vertically aligned window mullions influencing interior layouts. Project management firm Y.CO reports the build has progressed efficiently through collaboration between Vripack, CRN, and Nauta Design, the latter responsible for interior and exterior furniture."Seeing the project advance through key milestones demonstrates the effectiveness of this technical partnership," stated Donna Green, Y.CO's Head of New Build Projects. The yacht's construction began following the owner's 2018 commission, with Vripack describing the design process as an intensive collaboration with the highly involved client.Upon completion, Project Thunderball will join CRN's portfolio of 70-90 meter custom superyachts. The Ancona shipyard currently has four additional projects in construction, ranging from 60 to 85 meters. No exact delivery date or projected cruising itinerary has been disclosed for the Thunderball project.The Ferretti Group, led by Chief Executive Officer Alberto Galassi, is now one of the world’s leaders in the construction and sale of luxury yachts and pleasure vessels, with a unique portfolio of brands: Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Itama, Mochi Craft, CRN, Custom Line and Wally.Credits: Vripack
