A Standout Fort Lauderdale Show!
Two powercat sales were confirmed during the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, highlighting strong interest from both repeat and first-time clients.
Horizon Power Catamarans wrapped the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show on an undeniable high, welcoming more than 600 visitors aboard the exhibiting PC68 and PC60 power catamarans throughout the five-day event. Despite a rainy opening day, the weather turned and the remainder of the show delivered the kind of vibrant energy, strong attendance, and active engagement that the best shows are known for.
This year’s showcase placed a spotlight on the highly anticipated Portuguese Deck layout, featured aboard the PC68 on display. The forward-facing oasis, accessed through a centerline pass-through from the flybridge, resonated strongly with guests seeking expanded exterior lounging and dining space. Combined with the semi-enclosed flybridge options, dayheads, and adaptable entertainment areas, the layout – now available on PC60 models as well – once again proved to be a defining feature for Horizon’s growing powercat lineup.
The strong interest translated directly into meaningful results. The Horizon Powercat team confirmed two sales during the show: the PC65 Cellfish, purchased by a U.S. client stepping into their first powercat, and a new build order for a PC60 that will feature an Open Salon with a Portuguese Deck and skylounge configuration on the top deck. In addition to these immediate successes, the team reports several promising leads for a new PC68 as well as the PC60 showcased during FLIBS, reflecting strong market confidence and continued momentum.
Visitors also had the opportunity to explore the breadth of customization available across both models, from interior soft goods and stonework to advanced technical systems and handicap-friendly layouts. As with all new Horizon Power Catamaran builds, the PC60 and PC68 on display were equipped with Horizon’s advanced Victron power management package, offering extended battery-powered cooling and significant efficiency gains.
“FLIBS 2025 was a very successful show,” says Jason Ford, Sales Agent for The Powercat Company. “The turnout, the enthusiasm, and the quality of conversations underscored how strongly this market continues to grow. Closing two yachts during the show and securing several highly qualified leads speaks volumes about the demand for Horizon Powercats and the confidence clients have in our design, craftsmanship, and performance.”
