Taiwan International Boat Show
The team at Horizon Yachts is happy to discuss new models and Taiwan building.
Samples of Macallan and a ride on Horizon’s new 70, a smooth combination.
The rugged Taiwan landscape if a fitting background for this shipbuilding hub.
The Horizon Yachts facility.
The Horizon Yachts facility.
Over 1,000 feet (LOA) of yachts fill one hall at the indoor portion of the Taiwan show.
Dealers in Taiwan hope the new 400 Sport from Bavaria will attract entry-level boaters from around Asia.
Mirror twin-berth staterooms on the Horizon FD 85 should be a favorite spot of the owner’s grandkids.
Mirror staterooms with queen berths eliminate the argument over who gets the best accommodations.
This should serve well if/when the boat goes into charter.
A simple and clean galley is located beside the formal dining table in the saloon,
which makes for easy meal prep.
The head for the on-deck master is forward and 7 steps down.
While this might make middle-of-the-night bathroom trips a hassle,
it gives the head a private spa-like feel.
The bright blue hull of the Aquasense 33 from TC Yachts stood out
from the white fiberglass crowd, earning it a lot of attention.
It’s just impressive to see an Ocean Alexander 100 in an inside facility.
An HL Yacht 39 is designed to attract Asian buyers,
but it has a lot of interesting functionally—like a rotating aft settee—that could make it an international success.
