Horizon's smallest is a big boat in disguise.

The full-height transom door flanked by teak-planked stairs leading from the
wide teak swim platform to the spacious aft deck suggests you’re on a 90-footer.
In reality, it’s the stern of the new Horizon 620. And it’s not a façade; behind
the door lie crew quarters, ample storage and access to a good-sized engine
room.
Horizon offers a variety of layout and surface-treatment options for
the 620 that can be further modified to adapt to the owner’s onboard lifestyle.
The salon can be configured with an 11-foot long sofa or split couches. Both
plans feature a galley to starboard facing a port dinette with either a U-shaped
settee or a curved, café-style bench. A center-mounted helm puts the driver
closer to diners; if you prefer, a two-person bench seat offset to starboard
privatizes the driving.
The flybridge’s wet bar includes a double barbecue
and is surrounded by settees that seat 12 under an optional hard top. The aft
deck is long enough to provide complete cover for the main deck below and to
store a tender if needed.
Three staterooms on the lower deck sleep six. The
full-beam amidships master is offered with the bed angled off the bulkhead, as
well as a more conventional centerline installation. The ensuite VIP is forward
and a twin cabin is to port.
The owners of hull number one are from the
Pacific Northwest and cruised Alaskan waters during their first season aboard.
Glossy cherry joinery highlighted by dramatic Italian ebony marble decorates
their yacht’s interior. For power, they selected twin 800-hp Caterpillar 3406E
engines that deliver a swift top speed of 22 knots.
The 620 benefits from
Horizon’s SCRIMP resin-infused molding construction process, producing a strong,
durable, weight-conscious yacht.
