Espinosa lines, Blount science

Horizon paired two respected American names on this design. J.C. Espinosa drew the streamlined superstructure, which the yard describes as carrying gracious lines from the bow over the raised pilothouse and down to the transom, along with the interior architecture. Donald Blount, the performance-hull specialist whose office has shaped everything from patrol craft to record-chasing yachts, handled the naval architecture beneath it.

Blount's contribution is a double chine hull that the yard credits with excellent seakeeping, stability and enhanced hydrodynamics. In practice the chines settle the boat at anchor and underway, shoulder spray away from the decks and let the semi-displacement form run efficiently across its speed range. It is quiet engineering of the kind owners notice only as an absence of complaints. At anchor the hard chines damp the roll that troubles round-bilge hulls of this size, and underway they keep spray off the decks where guests actually sit.

A dozen years of deliveries

Charter and trade press recorded the first RP110, Andrea VI, delivered to her owner in late 2013, and the yard has been launching sisterships steadily since, including the third hull, Paradise, celebrated at its float-off. That cadence, never rushed, never idle, is typical of how Horizon runs a model line once the tooling exists.

The RP110 still holds its place in the current catalog alongside the RP120, and each completed boat has differed in layout and decor because the yard treats the general arrangement as an opening position. A dozen years of owner feedback is built into the current specification, from galley routing to tender handling, which is the unglamorous reason mature models ride better than new ones.

The same 7.62 meter beam as the RP120 on a hull ten feet shorter, with more than a decade of deliveries behind it.

Numbers built for range

The RP110 measures 33.53 meters overall on a 27.46 meter waterline with a 7.62 meter beam, draws just 1.8 meters and displaces 128.5 tons. Power is a pair of Caterpillar C32A diesels at 1,800 horsepower each, with twin 55 kW Kohler generators in 50 or 60 Hz form, the same commercial-grade machinery package that runs the larger RP120.

Fuel capacity of 21,000 liters, about 5,550 US gallons, and 3,000 liters of fresh water give the boat honest passage-making legs at displacement speed, while the semi-displacement hull keeps a genuine turn of pace in reserve. The shallow draft opens the Bahamas and the Intracoastal, which for the model's largely American ownership is where much of its life happens.

Four cabins, three crew, your call on the rest

The standard arrangement carries four guest staterooms supported by three crew quarters, with the raised pilothouse keeping ship operations a half level above guest life. The main deck runs from the aft deck through salon and dining spaces without a helm station interrupting the flow, and the pilothouse gives the captain a proper sea-going workstation with commanding sightlines.

Beyond that, the yard's own material stresses that layouts are customizable, and delivered hulls bear it out, with owners adjusting cabin formats, office space and country-kitchen galleys to suit how they actually live aboard. Horizon's in-house joinery executes the changes at series pricing, which is the practical difference between semi-custom and a brochure with options.

The step into the RP world

The RP110 carries the same 7.62 meter beam as the RP120 on a hull roughly ten feet shorter, so the interior feels closer to its big sister than the length difference suggests. It is the natural entry into Horizon's raised pilothouse family for owners stepping up from 90 foot boats, with systems and machinery already familiar to any professional crew. Because the machinery package duplicates the RP120's, a captain can move between the two models without relearning the engine room, and spares cover both.

It is also a rational purchase in resale terms. A model with more than a decade of deliveries, a stable specification and a recognizable profile holds its story in the brokerage market far better than short-run designs. Owners tend to keep RP110s for long programs, and the boats surface for sale with their reputations intact. A buyer inheriting systems that years of sisterships have already debugged starts ownership several seasons ahead.

Para quién es: An owner who wants raised pilothouse practicality and full-beam comfort at a length a smaller crew can manage, on a hull with a long, reassuring delivery record.
