Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the FD 87for family cruising and owner-operated vacations, often blending private time with exclusive short-term charters in The Bahamas. The layout supports entertaining-focused days and weekends, with multiple outdoor living zones, a large aft deck, and a beach club that actually gets used — as one owner put it, “When we first saw the beach club, I thought we would never use it. I was wrong — it’s yet another great place to entertain.” Five-cabin layouts with a full-beam, on-deck owner’s suite are common priorities, while the deck salon’s full-height glass and a notably generous, layout-flexible galley are frequently praised as standouts in class.
On the water, the fast-displacement hull delivers efficient cruising around 10 knots with a respectable top near 19 knots. Captains report the boat runs comfortably in 4–6 ft seas at 10–12 knots, and one skipper noted handling 10ft+ seas with the bow staying dry and spray kept to a minimum. The result is a stable, sea‑kindly platform well-suited to coastal passages and seasonal cruising across the Bahamas, Caribbean, and U.S. East Coast.
Day-to-day ownership feedback emphasizes maintainability: engine-room access is spacious and well-ventilated, with A/C to ease service work, and the commonly fitted twin Caterpillar C18s benefit from routine service and parts availability. Owners and captains describe Horizon Yachtssupport as responsive during commissioning and early cruising, and public owner/captain accounts did not surface recurring, model-specific systemic failures. Balanced against these strengths, an independent review notes the owner’s cabin lacks a wow factor and that some decks can feel bland.
