Fishing. Family. Fair-weather cruising. Whatever you do out there, do it in a Horizon.
When you’re on the water, you want reliable performance – and you want it without big bumps or a soaking-wet deck.
When Bob and Christine James built the first Horizon tinny in a Burleigh boat shed, that was their vision.
Now, more than 20 years and 84 models later, it’s the brand that fishos and weekend boaties depend on.
With 3 recreational ranges that feature proprietary hull designs, Horizon vessels do their best work inshore and nearshore – estuaries, rivers, and open ocean.
You bought your boat go further and push harder.
With a Horizon, you can.
Broad reverse chines and high freeboards keep sea spray off your deck (and your passengers).
Boat smoothly underway and at rest with a variable deadrise that balances cut-through with stability.
Planing strakes on select models help break surface tension – more lift and more speed for less fuel.
Select models feature an external keel for better handling and greater protection from object impacts.
Yes, Horizon boats are objectively ‘good’ boats. Manufactured on the Gold Coast to Australian standards, the company has won multiple boating awards over its lifespan. It’s also been a selected manufacturer for Mercury Marine and the builder for Queensland SES service response boats.
It depends on the conditions and the boat model. The average Horizon boat can handle standard inshore conditions comfortably. Most models feature variable deadrise hulls, external keels, reverse chines, and strakes – they perform well in both rough and calm water.
Keep in mind that larger, heavier models will be less affected by hull slap than lighter vessels like the HP Hull Pathfinder and Square Punt. If you’re buying a boat to fish or explore nearshore, ask us about the GRiDcore series – that extra hull thickness can make a big difference to ride quality in choppy water.
