Our Thoughts

The 2023 Horizon FD80 represents a masterclass in modern motor yacht design, blending the builder's acclaimed Fast Displacement hull technology with the practical sophistication demanded by serious owner-operators. SHERI LYNN exemplifies this philosophy—a one-owner, U.S.-flagged vessel that delivers the entertaining capacity, cruising range, and operational efficiency typically reserved for yachts significantly larger and more complex.

At 80 feet with a 22.42-foot beam and 5.58-foot draft, the FD80 achieves remarkable interior volume without sacrificing seaworthiness or fuel economy. Twin Caterpillar C32 diesel engines rated at 1,600 horsepower each power the yacht to a maximum speed of 23 knots while delivering a comfortable 17-knot cruising speed—a balance that extends range and minimizes fuel consumption over extended passages. With 2,700 gallons of fuel capacity and 400 gallons of fresh water, SHERI LYNN is engineered for genuine ocean-crossing capability and multi-week cruising autonomy. The transferable CAT Platinum Plus Extended Warranties on both engines remain valid through March 2028, and current engine hours (approximately 480 on mains and 496 on generators) reflect measured, professional operation.

The Fast Displacement hull form, combined with Side-Power zero-speed stabilizers and Zipwake interceptors, creates a stable platform for entertaining and cruising. Twin Side-Power thrusters—a 550-size bow thruster and 420-size stern thruster—provide precise maneuvering in confined spaces, while the remote control system with aft deck plug offers intuitive helm integration. High-performance five-blade propellers and a Sea Torque shaft system optimize propulsive efficiency across the yacht's speed range.

Interior Architecture & Entertaining Spaces

The salon showcases the FD80's design philosophy: floor-to-ceiling frameless windows flood the main entertaining area with natural light, while a 55-inch LED television (fold-down from ceiling) and Sonos home theater integration support modern entertaining. The L-shaped leather sofa, convertible dining table with stools, and port-side buffet cabinet create flexible configurations for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. A U-Line wine cooler and breakfast bar anchor the galley transition, while hinged doors to port and starboard connect the salon to side decks—a defining feature of the FD80's walkabout bridge design.

The professional galley rivals land-based kitchens: full-height Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and freezer, Miele oven and cooktop, Bosch microwave with range hood, Miele dishwasher, large stainless-steel sink with garbage disposal, and KitchenAid trash compactor. Cambria quartz countertops and extensive storage—including a full-height pantry—support serious provisioning and multi-course meal preparation.

The skylounge, positioned above the main deck, functions as a secondary entertaining hub with sofa, table, and ottomans. Two STIDD helm chairs anchor a custom-designed helm station featuring full engine gauges, integrated monitoring systems, Ritchie Supersport magnetic compass, and operational displays for fuel, water, and critical systems. A 49-inch Hi-Lo television and Sonos stereo system extend entertainment capability to the upper deck.

The 2023 Horizon FD80 represents a pinnacle of modern motor yacht design, combining the builder's acclaimed Fast Displacement hull technology with the spacious interior volume and sophisticated entertaining capabilities typically associated with much larger vessels. SHERI LYNN, a one-owner example offered in Jupiter , Florida, exemplifies how thoughtful design, premium systems integration, and meticulous maintenance create a turnkey cruising platform suited to owner-operators seeking both comfort and operational simplicity.
Overview: Fast Displacement Innovation at 80 Feet
Horizon's FD80 model has established itself as one of the most sought-after designs in the builder's portfolio, and SHERI LYNN demonstrates why. At 80 feet in length with a 22.42-foot beam and 5.58-foot draft, the vessel balances efficient hull geometry with generous interior accommodation. The Fast Displacement hull form enables a cruising speed of 17 knots while maintaining a maximum speed of 23 knots, delivering the operational flexibility modern cruising owners demand. The yacht's contemporary styling is immediately apparent in the extensive use of floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout the main salon, dining area, and on-deck master stateroom—design elements that flood the interior with natural light and create panoramic water views that enhance the sense of space and connection to the marine environment. The yacht is US flagged and represents significant value compared to new-build pricing, having been built prior to recent tariff adjustments that have affected yacht manufacturing costs. This positioning makes SHERI LYNN an intelligent acquisition for buyers seeking an established, proven design with full factory support and documented service history.
Propulsion and Performance: Twin CAT C32 Diesel Power
SHERI LYNN is powered by twin Caterpillar C32 1600-horsepower diesel engines, the marine industry standard for mid-range motor yachts.

The foredeck is accessed via a starboard staircase with full walk-around capability on the main deck, supported by heavy-duty 1.75-inch stainless steel handrails with 1.5-inch stanchions and steel cables. The aft deck incorporates teak construction on the steps and swim platform, with built-in bench seating, hi-lo tables, and loose chairs arranged for flexible entertaining configurations. The hydraulic hi-lo swim platform features 1,500-pound capacity and includes a built-in swim ladder and hot/cold shower, transforming the transom into a full beach club environment. Two removable corner rails with extra sockets on the fixed platform section provide additional flexibility for tender deployment and water sports setup. The bridge deck aft is expansive enough to accommodate a 16-foot tender, supported by a Hydraulic Steelhead davit ES1500 with reinforced structure. This capability elevates the yacht's functionality for extended cruising, allowing independent exploration and water activities without reliance on shore-based infrastructure. Side wing stations on the bridge deck improve docking visibility, a practical feature that enhances operational safety during close-quarters maneuvering.
Beach Club and Water Systems
The beach club area benefits from a unique garage window that introduces natural light and enhances the open feel of the space. A hydraulic full-width stern door with pantograph center panel provides convenient access to the swim platform and tender boarding area. An electric hi-lo partition between the crew galley and beach club allows flexible space management for entertaining or crew separation during extended voyages. An ice maker with 130-pound daily production capacity supports tender service and entertaining. A 32-inch LED television with Sonos marine stereo system creates a sophisticated media environment, while the hydraulic swim platform and integrated shower facilitate water-based activities. The beach club sofa with table and ottoman provides comfortable lounge seating with direct water views.
Skylounge and Upper Deck Spaces
The skylounge design incorporates sofa, table, and ottoman seating with a dayhead, creating a casual entertaining space distinct from the formal salon below. A multifunctional sunpad on the boat deck converts into an L-shaped sofa with cushions and table, providing flexible outdoor living. The boat deck features non-skid surfaces, walk-around bridge design with port-side bridge access to the bow deck, and integrated storage in custom cabinetry.
