Horizon Yachts’ History

Horizon Yachts

Horizon Yachts, the parent company of the Horizon Group, has earned a world-wide reputation for delivering outstandingly innovative vessels tailored to each owner’s unique and individual requirements. Horizon Yachts’ history begins in Taiwan in 1987, when CEO John Lu applied his years of experience as a successful naval architect to found a company dedicated to the purpose of creating and building innovative, aesthetically pleasing yachts that are the embodiment of the clients’ dreams. After years of diversifying and expanding its holdings, Horizon has emerged as the leading Asian yacht brand in the luxury megayacht market, recognized throughout the industry for its sophisticated craftsmanship, superior build techniques, and innovative technology.

While Horizon originally built yachts under 80 feet for the Taiwanese market, within two years its focus shifted to target markets to Europe, Australia and Asia. By adjusting Horizon’s market strategy, Lu was able to establish a solid yacht building foundation that allowed the company to weather an economic recession in Taiwan, emerging stronger and larger than ever. In 1993, recognizing the demand for larger vessels, Lu increased production capacity, officially entering the luxury megayacht market with delivery of Horizon’s first 80 foot megayacht in 1995.

Lu continued expanding Horizon Yachts in the following years, restructuring the company into four subsidiary companies managed by the Horizon Group. Horizon Yachts remains the flagship company, building exceptional yachts ranging from 46 to 150 feet. Currently the ninth largest yacht builder in the world, Horizon has delivered over 650 yachts, each reflecting its owner’s lifestyle and personality, created with the care and dedication only achievable by a team of experts demonstrating an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction and long-term industry success.
