Versatile. Large yacht living. Ingeniously fitted for easy operation.
The unveiling of the V68 Hull 11, christened DESTINAE, marks an impressive addition to Horizon Yachts’ V Series lineup. This magnificent new yacht harmonizes opulence with practicality and is a collaboration with celebrated designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett. With considerate design and luxurious amenities, she is perfectly tailored for any occasion — be it family getaways, first-time adventures, or unforgettable voyages for seasoned yachtsmen.
Luxurious Living and Panoramic Views
A generous 19’5” beam provides ample space for the owners to fully realize their vision. The flexibility in design enables the integration of expansive windows in the main deck that frame spectacular oceanic vistas. Here, a warm, inviting interior is brought to life with a combination of American walnut and black wood. The pairing results in a simple yet luxurious feel, with the walnut’s natural elegance enhancing warmth and the black wood offering a steady visual counterbalance. Every element whispers comfort, beckoning guests to relax and absorb the serenity that surrounds them.
High-end customization is showcased through expertly crafted, one-of-a-kind furniture pieces and lighting fixtures tailored to the owner’s distinct tastes. Each item is meticulously designed and selected for seamless visual flow. On the starboard side of the salon, an L-shaped sofa is complemented by a pair of striking vintage aviator-style armchairs positioned across from it. These chairs with a metallic exterior elegantly encase distressed black leather cushioning and heighten a sense of novelty to the space. The overall seating arrangement is designed to provide a panoramic visual experience, assuring that every vantage point presents a front-row encounter with the breathtaking seascape.
The thoughtful layout aboard DESTINAE fosters connection and conversation. Just steps away forward from the salon, the galley features a central island and a range of convenient essentials, including a refrigerator, electric grill, garbage compactor, and dishwasher, as well as copious storage capacity to accommodate hosting social gatherings for up to eight guests. Versatile Gray marble countertops with black and white wave patterns provide interesting visual contrast with the American walnut. This flowing texture offers a dynamic, layered quality that is further enhanced when illuminated by the overhanging Vitre Large Linear LED Pendant with handmade glass and white swirls.
Nestled just forward of the galley, the dining area with a U-shaped settee and dining table creates a warm and inviting nook. Surrounded by wraparound windows, this space enjoys much natural light, enhancing its charming vibe.
Craftsmanship and Comfort Lower Deck
Designed to evoke the ambience of a superyacht, the lower deck features a spacious walkway that connects three ensuite cabins — an exquisite full-beam master stateroom amidships, a double to starboard, and a VIP in the bow. The sophisticated palette of American walnut and black wood veneer in the master suite creates a sense of warmth and comfort, while the ensuite with dual sinks caters to the preferences of the owners. Abundant storage space, including a walk-in closet, ensures that all the requirements for extended voyages are met.
Lounging with a View
There’s a cozy sensation up on the bridge deck, where the helm station seamlessly integrates with an enclosed skylounge. Two helm chairs are positioned forward, while the remaining area offers a secondary salon conducive to engaging discussions between guests and the captain. The U-shaped sofa, accompanied by a Hi-Lo table, can easily transform into a bed, granting a quick escape for rejuvenation. For additional convenience, a dayhead is situated on the port side.
Look no further than the boat deck for the ultimate alfresco entertainment haven. This area features a wet bar, refrigerator, and grilling station, plus two bar stools oriented towards the bow, all comfortably shaded beneath a robust hardtop. For a change of scenery, venture to the foredeck, where sun loungers and a dinette create a private sanctuary for soaking up the sun and savoring the soothing sea breeze.
Exceptional Stability and Performance
The V68’s hallmark plumb bow showcases Stimson Yachts’ innovative hull architecture, which not only enhances waterline length but also minimizes drag during slower navigation, making for better handling. Twin MAN V8 1200hp engines and dual ONAN 29kW (60Hz) generators drive exceptional performance and remarkable stability on the water. Additionally, the broader hull beam enhances maneuverability, ensuring a comfortable and steady ride, even when faced with challenging conditions.
DESTINAE embodies a lifestyle of exploration and cherished memories in a refined framework. Ideal for gatherings in secluded coves, sunset dinners, or tranquil afternoons on deck, this yacht invites all to embark on journeys where the experience is as rewarding as the destination.
