Yacht builder Horizon Yachts has announced the launch of its first 23.47m V77 AMY (cockpit motor yacht). Tailored to cater to the unique tastes of the American market, this yacht was designed by Jonathan Quinn Barnett and features a wide range of outdoor spaces and a range of cutting-edge amenities, making it versatile enough to meet both fishing and leisure needs.
The newly launched yacht is the No. 10 hull of Jiahong V77, which is presented to the world in a new attitude, and for the first time interprets the concept of fishing cockpit for the American market. She is built on the proven V-Series platform with new features that meet the aspirations of proprietors and operators for outdoor spaces.
The V77 Fishing Cockpit will undoubtedly become a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. Equipped with a range of professional-grade fishing equipment, such as LED-lit live bait boxes, rod holders, motorized reel sockets, and a hydraulically folding stern for fishing enthusiasts, every exit is the perfect combination of a leisurely cruise and a serious fishing adventure.
The teak-floored fishing cockpit is complemented by modular furniture, two large upholstered chairs and a small cocktail table, and storage space hidden under the cushions in the rear seating area. It's clear that it's a great place to celebrate the successful capture of your prey. The central seat doubles as a hatch that opens to the private crew quarters below.
The open plan design of the main deck bathes the spacious saloon area in natural light, while large L-shaped sofas and windows illuminate the rooms with abundant natural light. Next up is her open kitchen, where the marble island becomes a stage for cooking, where guests can enjoy the culinary masterpieces up close, and the seating area provides an intimate time for guests to come together. Cleverly laid out, it offers in-room entertainment and dining.
The sundeck is an outdoor playground for al fresco dining, with seating areas and awnings for unwinding even in the elements.
Inside, the four cabins can accommodate up to eight guests. The full-width owner's cabin is located in the middle of the ship, which is extraordinary; The double VIP cabin in front is private and luxurious; Two twin cabins, one of which has been cleverly designed as a double decker, cater to the needs of different guests. The interior design is dominated by delicate neutral tones, with soft furnishings, wood finishes and stone accents adding a touch of elegance and taste.
In terms of performance, the V77CMY is powered by two Caterpillar C-18A engines. The flybridge cab is equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, two large black Stidd chairs, three 22-inch Garmin multifunction displays, a Maretron digital monitoring system and a ZF joystick stand side by side, and a zero-speed stabilizer ensures a smooth and comfortable ride.
The launch of the V77 is an important milestone for Jiahong Yachts to enter the North American market. The company recently opened a new West Coast office in Seattle, further strengthening its position in the U.S. market.
Mr. Lu Jiayang, CEO of Jiahong Group, said: "The two major advantages of Jiahong Yacht are customization and construction speed. With four subsidiaries on the island of Taiwan, our in-house design team works closely with world-renowned designers and shipbuilders to create a unique yacht for each client. I always say that the best designers are the clients because they use it and they know what they want and what they need. That's why we listen to our customers, and they're the best designers we've ever had. ”
