The solid yet stylish 115-foot Horizon expedition yacht EP115 is the newest addition to the Horizon EP series and has a full-displacement steel hull with a bulbous bow and fiberglass superstructure – while she is the second Horizon yacht built with a steel hull (the Horizon EP148 motor yacht Horizon Polaris was the first), she is the first one with a composite superstructure.
To ensure the safety and stability of the vessel, the new 115-foot Horizon expedition yacht EP115 is built and certified to BV (Bureau Veritas) Classification Society Rules (yacht and steel ship rule) and features double rudders and ABT thrusters for easy maneuvering. In addition, the new 115-footer is powered with twin MAN 2842 LE410 engines and at 10 knots has a range in excess of 3000 nautical miles.
The Horizon design team worked closely with the new owner to customize some certain areas and aspects of the yacht, ensuring that the new 115-footer Horizon luxury yacht EP115 will be perfectly suited to the owner’s requirements – features include a custom interior décor, extended cockpit for fishing, customized dive area with a commercial dive compressor and modified bow area to store a 19-foot dive tender and 14-foot rescue boat.
The new 115-foot Horizon explorer EP115 is the first long-range expedition yacht Horizon has built and delivered in her size range, and she will make her world debut at the 2013 Boat Asia Show.
