The Taiwanese shipyard recently announced the launch of the brand new E78 open bridge motor yacht, designed specifically for the U.S market.

It has a three stateroom layout and a hydraulic fly bridge hardtop that lowers the overall height of the boat by 8 feet.

?At Horizon, we pride ourselves in providing creative solutions to the design and usability issues that our clients face,? said Roger Sowerbutts, Director of Horizon Yacht USA.

?We understand that many who boat up North in the summer, specifically in the Great Lakes area, are restricted in their cruising locations, and in the size yacht they can enjoy, due to fixed bridge heights. This location-specific design we created for the E78, with her unprecedented hydraulic hardtop, was our answer to that problem, and she retains features that will appeal to boaters in the more southern areas such as Florida and the Bahamas as well.?
