WHAT, EXACTLY, IS A PORTUGUESE DECK?

Our new Portuguese Deck design is quickly becoming a client favorite. But what, exactly, is a Portuguese Deck?

Now offered as a design option on both our PC60 and PC68 models, our Portuguese Deck refers to the raised deck area positioned forwardmost at the bow, that is accessible both through the flybridge or from the foredeck. First introduced as a feature of the PC68 when that model was unveiled, this al fresco area provides a third exterior seating, dining, or sunbathing area in an enviable location with unobstructed views.

 

Adding the Portuguese Deck to the Powercat design allowed for a reconfiguration of the flybridge, which is now an exceptional and multifunctional space accommodating entertainment, dining, and relaxation. Fixed windows are interrupted only by the centerline hydraulic hatch that allows ingress between the Portuguese Deck and the flybridge. (Fixed windows are optional for the side windows and aft section of the flybridge as well.)

On the PC68, the semi-enclosed flybridge features a dual-chair helm station to port with convertible seating to starboard, a dining table to port aft opposite a wraparound settee to starboard, and further aft, a spacious dayhead. Furthest aft, the spacious boat deck remains a flexible space, ideal for catching sunsets with a cocktail or greeting the sunrise with a yoga salutation.

The new Portuguese Deck feature was so popular with our clients that it didn’t take long for the request for the deck to be designed and engineered into our popular PC60 model. Debuted at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show, Kairos is the first PC60 to feature the Portuguese Deck—which was exactly what her owners wanted in their first powercat.

Similar in layout to the PC68 flybridge deck design, albeit slightly more compact, the PC60 flybridge offers a helm station to port, convertible seating to starboard, with a dinette aft, opposite a walk-behind bar to port.

And like the PC68, the Portuguese Deck on the PC60 features steps down to the foredeck area, further improving accessibility for the captain to all areas of the boat.

The Portuguese Deck design has proven to be so popular that it has been and is being implemented on all subsequent PC68s and PC60s since these first two debuts. And, as with every Horizon Power Catamaran, customizing the interior style and layout to your liking comes standard.

Some clients have opted for a larger dinette to port with isinglass enclosures aft.

While a smaller dinette, full bar, and enclosed aft area with sliding doors is another design accommodated for this space.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT DECK – THE PORTUGUESE DECK – AT FLIBS!

A Portuguese Deck showcase is planned for the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, with the configuration featured on both a brand new PC60 and a PC68.

The 66th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show promises a tremendous display of all things yachting, and Horizon Power Catamarans plans an elevated showcase featuring the latest model layout offerings. Horizon Power Catamarans will present two of its PC models during the show, scheduled for October 29 – November 2, 2025. A brand new PC60 featuring both an on-deck master and a Portuguese Deck configuration will be on display alongside a new PC68 with the same layout. The team will also unveil the first-ever wheelchair accessible layout drawings for the PC68 model at its stand on the Face Dock, Slip 608.

The PC68 strikes an ideal balance between a manageable LOA and exceptional interior volume and deck space. With a generous 24ft 6in beam, the PC68 offers an expansive aft deck for alfresco dining that flows seamlessly into a main salon featuring a starboard-side galley with a center island and a forward port lounge with plush seating.

This particular PC68 is configured with an On-Deck Master, positioned forward on the main deck to capture an abundance of natural light through panoramic windows. A few steps lead down to a spacious ensuite in the port hull with dual vanities, which shares the aft section with a convertible twin ensuite. A VIP king ensuite and a second convertible twin ensuite aft are positioned in the starboard hull.

Up top, the PC68 distinguishes itself from the competition with an innovative flybridge layout and the addition of the popular Portuguese Deck forward. The semi-enclosed flybridge houses twin helm chairs, shaded dining and lounging spaces, and a dayhead. Aft, the boat deck carries the tender and is fitted with a bar and grill station. Forward, the Portuguese Deck offers a versatile retreat with convertible seating, sunbathing, or dining options. Powered by twin MAN i6 850hp engines, the PC68 achieves a range of 1,850nm at 9 knots.

Making its first public appearance at the show is the newest PC60 and the second hull to feature a Portuguese Deck layout. Adhering to the gilded rule of maximized exterior deck space, this PC60 features a semi-enclosed flybridge housing a bar to port and a large settee with a dinette to starboard, with a dayhead aft. Several configuration options are offered for this space, but the acclaimed 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. The flybridge can be open or enclosed for maximum versatility. When the tender is launched from the boat deck, the space transforms into an expansive entertainment or sunbathing area.

The PC60 is a four-stateroom yacht, and the model on display has been designed with 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 PC60 interior is a showcase of 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 main salon is accessed from an expansive aft deck, which is fitted with a built-in settee and a generous dining table. The aforementioned on-deck master stateroom is situated furthest forward on the main deck, and the inviting salon offers a large, L-shaped sofa and a spacious galley and bar area, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation and entertainment.

Both the PC68 and PC60 are equipped with Horizon’s advanced power package, pairing a Victron phosphate battery with a Termodinamica variable-speed air conditioning system. This setup delivers nearly 20 hours of cooling and dehumidification on battery power alone, significantly reducing generator usage while enhancing comfort. Offered as standard across the Horizon Power Catamaran range, the system boasts an 84% improvement in energy efficiency and incorporates smart features such as remote monitoring and automatic generator start/stop.

FOUR POWERCATS SOLD AT FLIBS!

Two display boats were sold and two new-build orders signed during the record-breaking show.

“We’ve never seen anything like it.” The 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) was one for the record books, with four powercats sold at FLIBS. These sales included the new PC60 and PC68 inventory boats on display, with contracts for two new PC60 builds signed during the show.

PC60 – PERFECTION IN DESIGN
The PC60 is the first model we designed and introduced when we launched in 2009 and has remained our most popular model—with these latest new build orders ratcheting the hull count up to 35. Not only does this four-stateroom yacht meet the needs of Caribbean cruisers in terms of space and layout, the distinguishing element of being carefully designed and engineered by experienced yachtsmen—and outfitted down to the dedicated storage for cleaning products—has propelled this mid-size cruiser to the head of the powercat market.

Another distinguishing feature of the PC60—and all of the Horizon Powercat models—is the variety of layout configurations available to clients. The PC60 is offered with either an on-deck master cabin or an open salon, which sees an expansive lounge, galley, and raised salon area on the main deck with the staterooms in the hulls. The flybridge can be enclosed or semi-enclosed and fitted with a dayhead as desired. Each of the new-build PC60s will be configured with an on-deck master layout.

PC68 – A STEP ABOVE
Introduced as a new model in the powercat lineup in 2022, the PC68 made its FLIBS debut at this year’s show with Hull #3 on display as a spec build. This yacht was sold to first-time powercat owners who plan to cruise Florida and The Bahamas. The PC68 offers generous space within a 68ft x 24ft 6in footprint, wherein a four-stateroom layout, expansive flybridge deck, and the same flexibility of configurations as its sister models afford the same amenities and atmosphere as an 80ft+ monohull.

The Portuguese Deck is a defining feature of the Horizon PC68 and allows for flexible al fresco configurations for dining or sunbathing just forward of the flybridge helm. An enclosed or semi-enclosed flybridge area features space for dining and relaxation with a large dayhead and a spacious boat deck aft for tender and toy storage or entertainment.

In yet another nod to its inherent understanding of owners’ lifestyles and preferences, Horizon Power Catamarans implemented an efficient power management package as a standard feature. Dubbed “Silent Living,” this system pairs a phosphate battery package with a Termodinamica variable speed air conditioning system for minimal generator usage and maximum efficiency. The system 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. Each of the yachts sold at the show are equipped with Horizon’s Silent Living package as well as MAN 850hp engines.

“We’ve been exhibiting at boat shows for the last 15 years and we’ve never seen anything like this,” says Horizon Powercats Founder and CEO Richard Ford. “Oftentimes someone who has expressed interest might sign a deal at the show, or a lead at the show signs weeks or months afterwards, but at this show we experienced first-time customers walking in off of the dock and signing a contract the next day. Informed customers recognize and appreciate the quality workmanship and superior equipment found on a Horizon Power Catamaran.

“One thing is for certain, power catamarans, with their shallow draft, interior volume, and cruising comfort, are attracting monohull owners in record numbers. We simply offer more real estate on the water!”

Stay tuned! We plan to debut an exciting new design at the 2025 Palm Beach Boat Show in March!

FLIBS IS ON THE HORIZON

A 2025 PC68 will make her show debut alongside a brand new PC60 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Horizon Power Catamarans will showcase two of its PC models during the 65th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, scheduled for October 30 – November 3, 2024. A brand new PC60 featuring an on-deck master layout will be on display alongside a brand new, 2025 model year PC68. This is the first time a PC68 model will be showcased during the Fort Lauderdale show.

The newest model in a series lineup that includes the PC52, PC60 and larger custom models, the PC68 balances manageable length with interior volume and deck space. Boasting a 24ft 6in beam, the PC68 offers a spacious aft deck with dining that flows into the main salon, which is designed with a large galley to starboard and a lounge area with sumptuous seating forward to port. While the PC68 model is offered in either an Open Salon or On-Deck Master configuration, this one is designed with the latter, which, situated furthest forward, is bathed in light from panoramic windows. Steps within the master access a large ensuite with dual basins in the port hull. A convertible twin ensuite shares this hull aft, while the starboard hull houses a VIP king ensuite and a second convertible twin ensuite aft.

Also on display will be the latest PC60 power catamaran, which was commissioned for experienced owners who thoroughly enjoyed their previous PC60 with an Open Salon layout. This new PC60 features an On-Deck Master configuration and, similar to the PC68, sees the VIP and twin cabins in the starboard hull with an additional twin and the master stateroom’s large ensuite in the port hull.

This powercat features an open flybridge with a helm chair bookended by raised settees forward, a wet bar aft to port and a raised dinette and wraparound settee to starboard. The spacious boat deck houses the tender when underway and provides plentiful space for entertainment or relaxation in the sun when the tender is launched.

Both of these new powercat models are also equipped with Horizon’s latest power package system, which marries a Victron phosphate battery with a Termodinamica variable speed air conditioning system for minimal generator usage and maximum efficiency. This system works in tandem to keep the interior cool, dry, and quiet for nearly 20 hours on battery power alone. Now offered as standard on all Horizon Power Catamaran builds, the new battery system has demonstrated an 84% improvement in energy efficiencies while offering many convenient “smart” features such as remote monitoring and auto generator start/stop.

Horizon Power Catamarans to Debut First PC68 at the Palm Beach International Boat Show

The first of the brand new PC68 model features an Open Salon layout and will make its global debut alongside two PC60 models March 23rd – 26th.

Horizon Power Catamarans plans an exciting lineup for the 2023 Palm Beach International Boat Show, which will see the global debut of the company’s first PC68 model at its display on Ramp 2, Slips 204-206. Positioned at the head of the multi-hulled PowerCat (PC) range that includes a PC52, PC60 and much larger custom options, the new, ultra-spacious Horizon PC68 model has been meticulously planned to meet and exceed the cruising needs of discerning boaters.

Multiple design innovations define the new PC68 model, which offers a four-stateroom layout with the option for an expansive open-plan salon or an on-deck master stateroom. While the On-Deck Master configuration offers a full-beam master with wraparound windows forward on the main deck, the debuting PC68 features an Open Salon layout, which offers an expansive salon area and a large seating and entertainment space on the main deck. This layout sees all four of the staterooms positioned off the salon, with two king ensuite staterooms forward in the hulls and two convertible twin-to-king ensuite cabins aft to port and starboard, respectively.

An expansive aft deck hints at the interior volume provided by the PC68’s 24ft 6in beam, and features a regal hi-gloss table with dining for 10, a wet bar and the option for a 43in TV. The lounge seating looks aft to the Hi/Lo swim platform which is flanked by large wet lockers storing diving and snorkeling equipment.

Ease of access is prioritized throughout the design, and walkaround side decks on the main deck lead to a lounging space forward. A unique and enviable Portuguese deck seating area with convertible Hi/Lo dinettes is a new feature for this model, which allows either sun beds or dining under the stars. The extended flybridge on this model allows for a variety of layout options while comfortably accommodating a 17ft, 100hp tender. The flybridge and boat deck comprise plentiful seating and lounging, a dayhead with shower, BBQ station, chest freezer, and a bar to port with fridge doors and a Scotsman icemaker. Forward of the helm, an innovative raised hatch and door accesses the Portuguese deck with three steps down to the foredeck.

Defined by award-winning advanced composites SCRIMP system construction that yields the most durable, lightweight hull marrying a perfect glass-to-resin ratio, with rigorous testing by the Horizon shipyard’s pioneering Non-Destructive Methods, the Horizon PC68 is fitted with twin MAN 850hp engines as standard to guarantee quiet, stable and efficient cruise of 20 knots. Uniquely, the options for client customization extend well beyond soft goods and interior layout.

Showcasing alongside the brand new PC68 are two PC60 models, both with an On-Deck Master configuration.

The Powercat Company distinguishes itself from the competition with its build quality, after-sales service and options for customization, and Horizon Powercat clients are offered the choice of an open bridge or enclosed skylounge design upon which they can build their ideal layout.

“We are delighted to introduce our new PC68 model during this year’s Palm Beach Boat Show,” says The Powercat Company Founder and CEO Richard Ford. “Our new PC68 showcases our constant emphasis on innovation and efficiency as well as our meticulous attention to the needs of the power catamaran owner.”
