Horizon Yacht (often referred to as Horizon Yachts) is a Taiwanese yacht manufacturer headquartered in the city of Kaohsiung. In 2018 Horizon was the tenth largest yacht builder in the world by total feet of yacht delivered.[1]
Horizon Yacht was founded in 1987[2] by John Lu, Gong Shan Chiai, and Cheng Shun Hui in Kaohsiung. Founded to supply yachts to domestic and American buyers, the company began targeting the European, Australian, and Asian markets in 1989.[3] In the late 2010s expansion of Taiwan's domestic yachting market was beginning to allow Horizon to fulfill its original intention of selling domestically.[4]
In 2019 they infused the hull and stiffeners of a 43m composite yacht in a single shot using vacuum infusion technology and proprietary 3D resin flow.[5]
As of 2020 Horizon had delivered more than 835 yachts.[6]
