2025 Palm Beach Boat Show – Five Days of Fun

A new location and new PC60 design for Horizon Power Catamarans made for Five Days of Fun

Horizon Power Catamarans made a splash at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show, unveiling a brand new location and exclusive HPC Dock. The highlight of the head-turning showcase? The world premiere of the first-ever PC60 with a Portuguese Deck configuration.

Christened Kairos, this new PC60 was built for first-time Horizon owners seeking a power catamaran with bow seating. The popularity of the Portuguese Deck design aboard the Horizon PC68 inspired the layout of the redesigned PC60 and the new configuration was a hit.

“Our new location was a major attraction, but the overwhelmingly positive response to the PC60’s versatile and now optional Portuguese Deck seating area and semi-enclosed flybridge truly stood out. This adaptability further solidifies the model’s lasting appeal,” says Richard Ford, Founder and CEO of The Powercat Company.

The innovative Portuguese Deck design extends the exterior space offered on the PC60’s topmost deck with a centerline passage that leads through a hydraulic door from the flybridge to the foredeck, which is configured with twin built-in settees and hi/lo tables for convertible dining and lounging. The flybridge itself features the helm, an L-shaped dinette, and a walk-behind bar with refrigeration.

The deck areas aboard the PC60 are the most sought-after feature of this “mid-size” model in the PC Series range, which spans from the PC52 to the PC68. In addition to her spacious aft deck, Kairos features walk around side decks that lead to the foredeck and to steps leading up to the Portuguese Deck. Aft of the flybridge, the boat deck offers additional space for lounging and entertaining when the tender is deployed.

The PC60 is a four-stateroom yacht and features the optional on-deck master stateroom configuration with three additional cabins in the hulls. The starboard hull houses an ensuite queen and twin cabin while the master ensuite with dual wash basins and a convertible twin ensuite cabin are positioned in the port hull.

The interior showcases the variety of soft goods, wood, stonework, and finishes that owners can specify for their semi-custom power catamaran build, with the assistance of The Powercat Company’s own in-house design team. The inviting salon offers a large L-shaped sofa, spacious galley, and bar area, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation and entertainment that is further complemented by the yacht’s Silent Living package offering up to 20 hours of generator-free comfort.

The Horizon Power Catamaran display was busy for all five days of the show, with current and potential clients visiting the PC60 and PC65 on display, relaxing in the large air-conditioned tent or enjoying a cold beverage in the al fresco VIP area.

“For the first time in its history, the Palm Beach International Boat Show spanned five days, and the response was extraordinary,” says Horizon Power Catamarans sales manager Jason Ford. “We were thrilled to unveil the first PC60 with the Portuguese Deck configuration at our new showcase and are very pleased with the response and interest in our powercat models, including larger and custom options. Stay tuned for what’s next at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show.”

Another brand-new PC60 has arrived!

Recently offloaded and delivered to the Horizon Power Catamaran offices, this milestone vessel holds special significance as the 60th power catamaran sold by the company!

Built for first-time powercat owners, this brand-new PC60 has been designed with an On-Deck Master configuration as well as an open flybridge with a dayhead. The owners specified an open flybridge configuration with a single helm chair at the navigation station bookended by raised settees to port and starboard. A dinette and wraparound settee are positioned aft to starboard while a wet bar area is found to port. Furthest aft, the open boat deck is equipped with a crane for launching the tender and is an inviting al fresco space for entertaining when the tender is deployed.

The main interior living area aboard the PC60 is comprised of a large open galley to starboard and a welcome U-shaped lounge area to port. The master stateroom occupies the full 24’ 6” beam of the main deck forward and is filled with natural light from the wraparound windows. Three additional guest cabins are positioned in the hulls. The starboard hull houses a VIP ensuite and a twin, while the port hull houses an ensuite twin as well as the master ensuite forward.

The new PC60 is equipped with an advanced Victron phosphate battery package paired with a Termodinamica variable speed air conditioning system that works in tandem to minimize generator usage and maximize onboard comfort. Coupled with the phosphate battery package from Victron, the Termodinamica variable speed, freon-cooled air conditioning system keeps the interior cool, dry and quiet for nearly 20 hours on battery power alone.

The first PC60 with a Portuguese Deck layout has been delivered to first-time Horizon owners.

Owners Jeff and Jennifer may be first-time Horizon PowerCat owners, but they’ve been part of the Horizon PowerCat family for years, often joining their friends at the annual Owners’ Rendezvous.

The couple decided on the popular PC60 model and commissioned the first PC60 with a Portuguese Deck layout as their new build.

First debuted on the PC68 model, the innovative Portuguese Deck design extends the exterior space offered on the yacht’s topmost deck with a centerline passage that leads through a hydraulic door from the flybridge to the foredeck, which is configured with twin built-in settees and hi/lo tables for convertible dining and lounging. While several configuration options are offered for this space, the new Portuguese Deck layout sees the two helm chairs and nav station situated to port and a passenger settee to starboard to allow for the centerline pass-through. This space can be open or enclosed for maximum versatility and includes a dayhead.

Christened Kairos, the new PC60 features a four-stateroom layout with an on-deck master suite occupying the forward-most section of the main deck. The owners worked with Horizon’s in-house design team to outfit the interior to their specifications.

Equipped with Horizon’s Silent Living package, Kairos will be able to quietly cruise or rest at anchor in its preferred cruising destination of the Abacos in The Bahamas. Coupled with Victron’s advanced phosphate battery package, the Termodinamica variable speed air conditioning system keeps the interior cool and comfortable for nearly 20 hours on battery power alone.

Congratulations to Jeff and Jennifer on officially joining the Horizon PowerCat family! We can’t wait to see you at the next Owners’ Rendezvous aboard your beautiful Kairos.

The celebration continues as these owners take delivery of their second PC60 new build.

When Horizon Power Catamarans (HPC) launched its first model – a PC60 – the world took notice. “To understand the Horizon PC60 power catamaran, you need to put aside preconceived notions about midsize yacht amenities,” wrote the GOAT of yachting journalism, Chris Caswell, in Yachting Magazine. Lauded for its unparalleled space and thoughtful boater-specific details, the PC60 model quickly became one of the top-sellers on the power catamaran market.

In 2013, HPC launched Hull 3 of the PC60 model, a spacious catamaran with an on-deck master stateroom. In 2020, she was discovered by owners who named her Indigo. A few years later, when contemplating a new yacht build, these owners took the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach and commissioned another PC60. This summer, they took delivery of Hull 31 of this wildly successful model, and named her Indigo in a christening ceremony at the Horizon Power Catamaran marina office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Indigo benefits from a decade of the PC60 model’s design and technological evolution, but her overall layout remains largely unchanged. The first Indigo was configured with an on-deck master stateroom, which the owners enjoyed and elected to maintain for this Indigo. Three additional staterooms are positioned in the hulls. Her interior is one of contemporary elegance, with bright whites, smooth creams, and, of course, brilliant splashes of deep indigo blues.

As with all new power catamaran builds from Horizon, Indigo is equipped with Horizon’s latest power management package – an advanced Victron phosphate battery package paired with a Termodinamica variable speed air conditioning system for minimal generator usage and maximum efficiency.

This system works in tandem to minimize generator usage and maximize onboard comfort. Coupled with a phosphate battery package from Victron, the Termodinamica variable speed, freon-cooled air conditioning system keeps the interior cool, dry, and quiet for nearly 20 hours on battery power alone.

In addition to her spacious aft deck and Hi/Lo swim platform, Indigo features a semi-enclosed flybridge to maximize indoor/outdoor living opportunities. This will be particularly enjoyed by her owners as they cruise The Bahamas and the Caribbean, as well as charter guests, as Indigo II is planned for charter in the BVI. Congratulations to her owners on their beautiful new yacht!
