Horizon Yachts "Nine Stars" ; "Sundancee" Near Delivery To Respective Owners
Two models from Horizon's line-up are in the process of being prepared for delivery to their respective owners. One is a PowerCat PC60 "Sundancee" and the other is an E84 Skylounge called "Nine Stars". Both yachts are penned for sea trials in August and once all goes well with the testing phases they will be shipped to the United States to their owners.

The owners of the Horizon E84 motoryacht Nine Stars are highly experienced in yachting, having owned more than 90 yachts in their lifetime; they are also previous Horizon motoryacht owners. After spending time cruising with family, the owners decided they were ready to move into a new Horizon E84 motoryacht...

Lets look a bit closer though at what makes the hybrid variant stand out from its conventional model sister...
