The 27.3-metre ES88, KEΦI, debuts as a high-performance custom yacht, reimagining the E Series with bespoke sport-fishing design and luxury.
Horizon Yachts is proud to announce the successful global debut of the brand-new ES88, christened KEΦI, at the recently concluded 2026 Horizon Open House. Featuring a striking, sporty exterior styling penned by internationally renowned designer Cor D. Rover, this exceptional yacht was commissioned by an experienced Australian owner—marking their sixth Horizon build. The ES88 perfectly encapsulates a dynamic and contemporary aesthetic, showcasing a masterclass in highly efficient interior design that proves a compact footprint can be extraordinarily well-equipped. Complementing her dynamic exterior lines, KEΦI is powered by twin MAN V12 2000ps engines, ensuring exhilarating performance on the water.
Seamless and social main deck
The ES88’s interior emphasizes a clean, modern aesthetic. The main deck features vinyl wood flooring that visually extends the space, complemented by a matte white and leatherette ceiling. The salon invites relaxation with a white curved sofa and a marble-topped walnut coffee table, while a hidden drop-down TV ensures unobstructed views. This area flows seamlessly into the dining space—featuring a marble table with a titanium and walnut base—and the fully equipped galley. The galley boasts dark grey matte cabinetry, high-gloss Koto wood louvers, and stone countertops, creating an elegant yet highly functional culinary hub.
A multifunctional pilothouse
Designed for both serious navigation and business, the wheelhouse is a standout feature. Upholstered in black leatherette to create a professional command atmosphere, it is equipped with twin electric helm chairs. Above, an electric sliding sunroof invites natural light and fresh sea breezes, elevating the cruising experience. Ingeniously, the starboard L-shaped sofa and hi-lo table area has been customized to serve as the owner’s private offshore office, allowing for absolute comfort while working underway.
Maximized accommodations
The lower deck is a testament to spatial efficiency and luxury. The master stateroom is an intimate retreat featuring a 65-inch drop-down TV that transforms the space into a private cinema. Its en suite is appointed with white quartz walls and matte black hardware, delivering refined luxury within a highly efficient layout. Guests are treated to a premium experience in the forward VIP, accented with high-gloss Koto wood, while the port and starboard guest cabins feature versatile sliding beds that easily convert from twins to a double, maximizing accommodation flexibility.
Ultimate alfresco entertainment and utility
Outdoor spaces on KEΦI are designed for ultimate enjoyment. The foredeck offers a dedicated sunbathing area with dual-purpose folding sunpads and integrated RGB lighting. Aft, the expansive deck serves as an exceptional alfresco dining room, fully protected by an electric retractable awning and equipped with a complete outdoor kitchen, including a teppanyaki grill, BBQ, drawer fridge, and ice maker.
Dedicated tender garage & angling hub
Further distinguishing this build is the aft tender garage. Custom-designed for the owner’s active lifestyle, it houses not only the tender but also a professional fishing setup, complete with custom rod holders and heavy-duty storage drawers. A thoughtfully placed dual-purpose dayhead connects directly to the swim platform, offering the ultimate convenience for water sports enthusiasts.
KEΦI is a stunning showcase of Horizon’s commitment to deep customization, innovative space utilization, and contemporary styling, proving to be a star attraction at the 2026 Horizon Open House.
