Horizon Power Catamarans to debut two new models at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show

by Horizon Yachts 12 Mar 14:10 GMT March 25-29, 2026

The 44th annual Palm Beach International Boat Show returns March 25 - 29, 2026 and promises to once again deliver an exceptional collection of yachts to discerning buyers. Taking its place at a new location on Dock E, slips 201 and 202, the Horizon Power Catamarans' showcase features two debuting yachts for this year's show, a PC60 and a PC68, each boasting distinctive layout combinations that underscore the yard's commitment to customization and owner collaboration.

Presented as a manufacturer's exhibit, the new PC60 introduces a unique configuration never before shown on the model. Boasting a 60ft LOA with a generous 24ft 6in beam, this yacht pairs the sought-after Portuguese Deck flybridge layout with an expansive Open Salon design.

The Portuguese Deck, first introduced on the PC60 at the 2025 Palm Beach show, opens previously underutilized forward space into a versatile al fresco seating and sunning area just forward of the flybridge helm, connecting the flybridge and bow seamlessly. Below, the Open Salon layout creates an open-plan environment featuring a spacious galley and inviting salon ideal for entertaining.

This PC60 features a three-stateroom, four-head layout accommodating six guests in the three large staterooms positioned within the hulls. The master stateroom and ensuite encompass the entire starboard side hull and the fourth dayhead is situated on the expansive flybridge above.

Powered by twin MAN i6 850hp engines, the PC60 delivers a top speed of 25 knots and cruises comfortably at 20 knots. She is fully equipped with Horizon's Silent Living package, powered by an advanced Victron phosphate battery system that enables up to 20 hours of generator-free living daily.

The new PC68 on display carries special significance as the latest PC68 launch since the model was unveiled in 2022. This particular yacht was also commissioned by Horizon's most loyal owners, who count this model as their 4th Horizon Power Catamaran build.

Measuring 68 feet LOA with the same 24ft 6in beam, this PC68 features an On-Deck Master configuration combined with the Portuguese Deck layout. Accommodating up to 8 guests in four cabins with five heads, the yacht exemplifies thoughtful layout evolution shaped by long-term owner experience.

The open flybridge design integrates seamlessly with the Portuguese Deck forward, while a redesigned aft deck bar area introduces separate, dedicated crew access to the crew cabin, enhancing privacy and operational flow.

Like her sistership, this PC68 is powered by twin MAN i6 850hp engines, cruising at 20 knots with a top speed of 25 knots. With 2,000 gallons of fuel capacity, she achieves a maximum cruising range exceeding 2,000 nautical miles. The yacht is also equipped with Horizon's Silent Living package, allowing for up to 20 hours per day of generator-free comfort.

"Returning to the Palm Beach International Boat Show with these two debuting yachts represents a meaningful milestone for our company," says Richard Ford, Founder and CEO of The Powercat Company. "These models demonstrate not only the level of customization our clients can achieve when collaborating with us on their build, but also the enduring relationships we cultivate. The new PC68, in particular, reflects the trust placed in us by repeat owners who continue to build with Horizon."

Horizon Power Catamarans will display both models on Dock E, slips 201 and 202.
