2023 Horizon FD90
“RIO”
Description
Delivered in 2023 as a 2024 model by Horizon Yachts, RIO represents an opportunity to acquire a virtually new FD90 in turnkey condition. With accommodations for up to 11 guests across five suites, plus four crew, this custom FD90 is purpose-built for coastal and island cruising across the Caribbean, Bahamas, and U.S. East Coast. Offering exceptional interior volume and onboard luxury, her shallow draft of 6 feet enables access to secluded destinations such as Compass Cay, Devil's Passage, and other hidden anchorages throughout the Bahamas and Florida Keys.
She is in excellent condition, having been privately owned by a tech entrepreneur since delivery and professionally maintained by an electronic engineer captain. RIO has been thoughtfully equipped for security, comfort, and extended cruising and is fitted with a FLIR infrared camera for enhanced visibility during night docking and reduced-visibility navigation, while dual redundant watermakers produce approximately 350 liters (92 gallons) of fresh water per hour. Extended freshwater tanks with a capacity of 1,500 liters (400 gallons) increase cruising autonomy, and custom gauges installed on the air-conditioning intakes simplify system monitoring and help minimize maintenance requirements.
A Sonos audio system powers eight independently controlled entertainment zones throughout the yacht, while redundant internet connectivity is provided through both Starlink and Intellian systems. Stabilizers enhance comfort both underway and at anchor, and a heated bow Jacuzzi is complemented by a spacious upper-deck lounge. An extended galley, together with four ice makers, five refrigerators, and three freezers, is well equipped to support extended cruising and entertaining.
RIO’s GRP hull ensures superior seakeeping, fuel economy, and ride comfort, with a range of up to approximately 2,500 miles without refueling. She is equipped with twin MTU 16V engines (approximately 2,700 hours each) with warranty through 4,500 hours. RIO achieves a comfortable cruising speed of 11 knots and top speeds between 17 and 19 knots. Fuel burn is efficient, with consumption of approximately 32 gallons per hour at 9 knots, 40 gallons per hour at 10.5 knots, and 100 gallons per hour at 15.5 knots.
The interior is designed around light, flow, and functionality. The main salon features expansive panoramic windows, an open lounge area, and a forward dining space, all finished in a contemporary palette of natural woods and neutral tones. The enclosed galley layout offers a more refined and private service experience, distinguishing this build from open-plan alternatives. On the upper deck, a skylounge with a fold-out bed leads to an aft bridge deck equipped with a dining table and lounge area, shaded by custom sun sails for all-day usability.
Guest accommodations are generous and flexible. Five en-suite cabins support up to 11 guests, complemented by quarters for four crew. The full-beam master suite on the main deck includes a king-size bed, dressing area, and a spacious en-suite bath. Below, two queen cabins, a VIP that converts from a king to twins, and a midship cabin that converts from twins to three single beds provide adaptable sleeping arrangements suitable for a variety of family configurations.
Exterior spaces are optimized for outdoor living. The aft deck supports alfresco dining with direct access to a swim platform that forms a lounge at water level. Forward, a Jacuzzi and bow lounge offer private open-air relaxation. The flybridge features sunpads and shaded entertaining zones.
RIO is available for viewings between Fort Lauderdale and Nassau from July through December 2026. Please contact us for additional information or to arrange a private inspection.
