Midnight Moon

A hydraulic swim platform and a tender garage make Midnight Moon a yacht built around getting on and off the water quickly, not just looking at it from the deck. Horizon delivered her in 2018 on the FD85 platform, and a 2025 refit kept her current before she came to Boatcrowd from Palm Beach Gardens.

Build and provenance

She is a Horizon FD85, a fibreglass monohull on the yard's flybridge platform. At 26 metres and 85ft, with a beam of 7.1 metres and a draft of 1.8 metres, she carries the proportions the FD series is known for. Her 2025 refit is recent enough that a buyer takes on a yacht already brought current, and her low engine hours mean less wear behind that refit than her age alone would suggest.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, and a crew of three run the boat day to day, a compact complement suited to a flybridge yacht built for cruising rather than full-service hosting. The master stateroom sits on the main deck rather than below, with open sightlines to the water that a lower-deck cabin cannot match.

Performance and engineering

Two Caterpillar C32 engines rated at 1600hp give her an eighteen-knot cruise and a top speed of 24 knots, enough to cover a day's run and still have the afternoon left. Recently added navigation electronics bring her helm up to date without touching the systems underneath.

Where she lies and how to see her

Midnight Moon lies in Palm Beach Gardens, where Boatcrowd sets up a viewing and comes along with you to see her. An accepted offer brings in a surveyor and a sea trial next. She also charters through Boatcrowd out of the Bahamas, so a week aboard her is possible before you buy: her charter page carries the calendar.
