Horizon Sells 5th 130-foot Premier
August 01, 2008: Horizon Yachts: This week was an exciting week for the Premier Shipyard, member of the Horizon Group, as the General Manager, James Fwu, announced the recent sale of a new construction position for a Premier 130+ Motoryacht to a US client. This is the fifth in the 130 series to be sold and is scheduled for delivery in May 2010.
After delivery of the first 130 this April, the second Premier 130+ just finished her formal sea trial with satisfactory results in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and will be shipped to her owner in early August 2008. Both of the first two 130+ are for owners located on the East Coast of the US, and the next two are destined for European deliveries.
Meanwhile, there is another Premier 120+ project under construction in Horizon Shipyard. One 130’ deal pending for a Southeast Asia client. The Horizon Group sees these as a very positive sign in the megayacht market and is looking forward to taking orders for the new Premier 168+ Series that is currently in development.
While many may be concerned about how the current economy might impact the megayacht market, the CEO of the Horizon Group, John Lu, is continuously devoting all efforts of the entire Group to the improvement of yacht building technologies and craftsmanship. In spite of the economic turmoil, owning a luxury megayacht is a lifelong dream for many and they will continuously turn this dream into reality.
When it comes to choosing the right megayacht, these customers will attach great importance to the range of a shipyard’s services and the quality of the yachts. “Therefore, we have to prepare ourselves and be ready at all times. The megayacht building business is looking bright for us.” John Lu concluded
