About Golden Horizon
Golden Horizon is a Custom Made-built superyacht measuring 531ft (162m), delivered in 2021. She carries 140 staterooms with 140 Queen / Convertible Double sleeping arrangements for 274 guests, while day charters welcome up to 300 aboard. A crew of 157 manages everything from gourmet dining and watersports to navigation and itinerary planning.
The Golden Horizon Experience
From generous outdoor decks to the refined interior, Golden Horizon balances scale with warmth. Guests settle into a rhythm quickly – morning coffee on the sundeck, a swim before lunch, afternoons exploring ashore or unwinding on deck. At 17 knots, she moves efficiently between anchorages so days are spent enjoying destinations rather than in transit. Key features include a deck jacuzzi, a swim platform, an on-board gym, and a spa. The interior feels like home, with well-appointed cabins offering a private retreat at the end of each day’s activities.
On the Water
A collection of 12 water toys keeps every member of the group entertained, with 10 Seabobs, 40 SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, towable inflatables, and a water slide available directly from the swim platform. The 4 x 28ft Tender, 4 x 24ft Tender is on standby for beach drops, harbour runs, and snorkeling stops at reefs and rocky coves. The crew handles all equipment so guests focus purely on the experience, and the yacht’s layout makes water access comfortable for guests of all ages.
