Horizon Yachts "Nine Stars" ; "Sundancee" Near Delivery To Respective Owners
Two models from Horizon's line-up are in the process of being prepared for delivery to their respective owners. One is a PowerCat PC60 "Sundancee" and the other is an E84 Skylounge called "Nine Stars". Both yachts are penned for sea trials in August and once all goes well with the testing phases they will be shipped to the United States to their owners. That process will take a while so they won't be stateside until maybe October or so. The owners of the Horizon E84 motoryacht Nine Stars are highly experienced in yachting, having owned more than 90 yachts in their lifetime; they are also previous Horizon motoryacht owners. After spending time cruising with family, the owners decided they were ready to move into a new Horizon E84 motoryacht...

Mengi Yay Hands Over 26-meter "Seleda"
Turkish yacht builder Mengi Yay is particularly proud of their latest delivery, the 26-meter Navetta-styled yacht "Seleda".

Two interior decks above the waterline are enough onboard this platform as they are enhanced by the expansive use of glass and clever design cues to maximize the amount of natural light filtering in from the outside...

Lets look a bit closer though at what makes the hybrid variant stand out from its conventional model sister...
