Owner Experience Review

Owners report the E88works as intended for family cruising, with multiple real itineraries in the Bahamas and Caribbean. Many run the boat themselves for weekends and longer holidays, adding crew when insurance or extended passages require it. The layout suits hospitality: aft deck, salon, flybridge, and bow seating create distinct social zones, and owners consistently praise the fit and finish and the abundance of dining and relaxation areas—one remarking, “I really, really, really love the boat.” Four en‑suite guest cabins, including a full‑beam master, a country‑kitchen galley, and a one‑level salon support comfortable living aboard. A beach club with a hydraulic swim platform and a lower aft lounge that doubles as a crew mess make water access and tender/toy handling easy for guests.

On the water, testers have called the E88an “all‑weather cruising machine,” citing sea‑kindly motion from its pronounced chines and strakes. Independent sea trials report a comfortable cruise around 18–19 knots (about 2,100 rpm), average wide‑open speeds around 21.9–24 knots, and an economical band at 10–11 knots that can yield roughly 950–1,400 nautical miles depending on speed and fuel load. Reviewers also note it is pleasingly nimble at the dock for its class, which aligns with feedback from owner‑operators moving the boat in tight quarters.

Service and upkeep reflect the yacht’s systems and power. The engine room offers generous access—nearly 9 feet of headroom and working space around the typical twin Caterpillar C32 ACERTs. Technicians and operators point to known C32 family items (aftercoolers on some early units, coupling deterioration, and occasional electrical/starting quirks), so strict adherence to Caterpillar’s maintenance schedule and factory/authorized support is recommended. Public reports do not show a recurring, model‑level structural issue across the series, though owners should budget for higher service and parts costs typical of high‑power CAT propulsion and large systems (stabilizers, hydraulic swim door, HVAC). Notably, owner testimony highlights responsive after‑sales support from Horizon Yachts: “They respond immediately and make me feel important, like a VIP.”

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Sea‑kindly, all‑weather behavior with a comfortable 18–19‑knot cruise and nimble docking.
• Family‑friendly, entertainment‑ready layout with four en‑suite cabins, a country‑kitchen galley, and multi‑zone social spaces including the flybridge and beach club/hydraulic platform.
• Strong serviceability and support, from nearly 9 ft of engine‑room headroom to responsive Horizon Yachtsafter‑sales help.

Cons:

• Twin Caterpillar C32 ACERTs have known service items (e.g., aftercoolers on some early units, coupling wear, electrical/starting quirks) and demand strict maintenance.
• Many owners add crew for insurance or longer passages, which can limit pure owner‑operation.
• Long‑range figures (≈950–1,400 nm) require slowing to 10–11 knots and careful fuel management.
