Horizon Yachts began its journey in 1987 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, when architect John Lu, along with his business partners Gong Shanjia and Cheng Shunhui, founded the shipyard with the aim of introducing luxury yachting to Chinese clients. Within just 13 years, the company not only captured the Asian market but also established itself as a world-class manufacturer.

Due to the rapid growth of its order portfolio and limitations in production capacity, Horizon's management established a conglomerate of subsidiary shipyards and companies known as Horizon Group between 2000 and 2005. This included brands such as Horizon Yachts, Vision Yachts, Premier Yacht, and Atech Composites, with each focusing on specific models, types of vessels, and yacht components.

Throughout its history, Horizon Group has launched over 160 custom superyachts and 600 semi-custom luxury motor yachts, representing one-third of Taiwan's yacht export industry. In the past decade, the company has consistently been recognized as the "Best Motor Yacht Builder in Asia."

Horizon Group currently operates five specialized facilities across a total area of 106,000 square meters, employing over 800 highly skilled professionals:

• Horizon Yachts: A shipyard dedicated to the construction of yachts, superyachts, and catamarans ranging from 18 to 40 meters, with an annual production capacity of up to 25 hulls. This facility spans 43,000 square meters.
• Vision Yachts: A factory specializing in the construction of Horizon yachts from 16 to 25 meters. It covers an area of 15,000 square meters.
• Premier Yacht: A service center for the maintenance and refit of superyachts over 30 meters, with a 200-meter waterfront area and a floating dock with a 500-ton capacity. The facility covers 24,000 square meters.

• Horizon City Marina: A luxury marina accommodating up to 40 world-class yachts up to 60 meters in length, offering a comprehensive range of maritime and yachting services.
