Four Winns Horizon 290, class and performance Made in USA

They’re back in Europe, in a starring role: imported by Beneteau, the American brand Four Winns lands in the Old Continent. Four Winns 290 is one of the most interesting models on offer.


The US boatyards have evolved in style and quality of their products and, oddly enough, these improvements have come along with their marginalization in the European market. Of course the quality of “made in Italy” in all sizes and types of boats has done its part, but the evolution of the Yankee models perhaps deserved more attention.
So, congratulations to Beneteau, the French giant who chose to distribute in Europe through its network some emblazoned US brands, of which this Four Winns Horizon 290 is definitely one of the best examples.

Four Winns Horizon 290: details are everything

What is most striking of Four Winns Horizon 290 is the attention to detail and the high level of finish that makes her remind of a supercar rather than a cruiser. Sure, the bow-rider setup implies a predominantly daytime use, but the small cabin that opens in front of the codriver seat ensures the presence of a potty and some room to put on the swim suit.
The large cockpit sports a wet bar and grill to starboard making it the ideal place for the dining area, while driver and co-driver have two separate seats and especially two dashboards, which give the feeling of being into a supercar. To aft, a long swim platform and the massive roll bar complete the bold look of Four Winns Horizon 290.
Engine-wise, the yard leaves on the customer to go for Volvo Penta or MerCruiser, single or twin engine, from a minimum of 380 HP to a maximum of twice as much.
