Description

Horizon – Solid, Fast, and Offshore-Ready

Horizon is a well-maintained, thoughtfully upgraded cruiser that outperforms expectations. Built during the era when Beneteau hulls were thicker and more robust, she delivers a solid, stable ride in open water and holds her seven-knot-plus hull speed with ease—even under deep reef.

Her B&G navigation suite and Simrad autopilot (with wind-steering mode) make passagemaking smooth and efficient, especially in gusty conditions. A full kilowatt of solar and 460Ah of lithium batteries provide true off-grid capability, powering all systems through the night and during extended cloudy periods.

With a 5-foot draft, Horizon is offshore capable yet nimble enough to access shallow anchorages throughout the Bahamas. She’s a fast, stable racer-cruiser with a long list of essential spares and critical systems already dialed in—ready for her next adventure!
