Named after the Greek word for beautiful, Orraia represents the first step into the charter market for her owners – a vision they’ve brought to life with meticulous attention to style, comfort and sophistication.
Reflecting the hues of Australia’s unique landscapes, Orraia’s interiors capture an inviting, natural aesthetic, while her expansive deck spaces are thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertaining. One striking highlight is the back-lit agate stone bar on the upper deck – a piece as stunning as it is functional, providing a gathering spot with an unforgettable ambience.
The launch event welcomed 100 guests, including charter brokers, superyacht industry proponents and representatives from the luxury travel, hotel and automotive worlds. Renowned Chef, Justine Schofield, who has devised bespoke menus for Orraia charters, prepared a delectable selection of canapes on board, while a marina buffet showcased the finest Australian seafood paired with cocktails inspired by local flavours.

Guests were treated to stirring live performances from a violinist and saxophonist, before the evening evolved into lively beats with a DJ set.
Orraia starts her charter season in Sydney from December, then along the east coast for the autumn-winter 2025 season, promising an exceptional yachting experience in Australian cruising grounds.
The Horizon FD 90 is part of the brand’s most popular series, the Fast Displacement range of models from 75 to 130. Designed by the esteemed Dutch firm, Cor D. Rover, the FD Series boasts remarkable on board space and performance, with vast scope for customisation.
The FD90 is the most popular model and is available in Split Use Skylounge or Skyline (enclosed) bridge configurations, with an impressive 7.11-metre beam, spacious on-deck master with four guest staterooms and two crew cabins below deck, and large windows in the saloon.
A walkaround design on the bridge deck affords ease of access between the boat deck and forward seating areas, which can be customised with multiple features from refrigeration to storage, sun shades and more.
Each FD90 is equipped with a versatile beach club and swim platform aft, and, assisted by the High Performance Piercing Bow and hull design, with high-end equipment as standard, performance is efficient and stable.
