Based on the port side at center, the guest stateroom offers a queen-size berth as well as a third, sofa/couch/single berth, following the classic decor of the other rooms. Ample storage space and closets provide room for comfort all around. With overhead lighting, there is also a small opening window/port for daylight. A 32” TV provides nighttime entertainment.

A fourth, smaller stateroom adds capacity for crew, with a double berth. It features ample storage cabinets and its own ensuite head/shower. It too follows the decor with satin finished wood cabinets and wall covering, plus bedside and overhead lighting.

At the stern, the twin CAT diesels are situated within a 7’ head-room, full walk-around maintenance area. Entry is forward of the stern, through a watertight bulkhead partition/door. The engine compartment is adjacent to the workroom, which provides full system monitors and an air conditioned work area for maintenance.

Engine loads are distributed through flex-mounts on stainless steel plates bonded to the hull girder. Watertight bulkhead entrance doors and full-length stainless steel grab rails add to safety measures. The Vision-68’s twin 1,000 hp C-18 CATs are programmed to cruise at 1900 rpm, moving the vessel at a standard 13.6 knots. At 1300 rpm, she produces 10 knots, which, with a standard 1400 gallons of fuel would easily be enough to reach out to any cruising skipper’s dreams.

The 68’ Vision offers the accommodations of a larger build, but in a manageable size for the cruising couple. For those needing a little more space, a Vision 75' will soon follow. Horizon’s meticulous quality control and excellent manufacturing processes add to this fresh, contemporary Greg Marshall design. YachtForums.com roars a proud Hoorah! for Horizon’s latest progeny.

Another winner by Horizon Yachts!
