Horizon Powercats PC60

With the Horizon Powercats PC60 (60’9″ LOA, 24’6″ beam), Horizon Powercats focused on designing an exquisite power catamaran with a high-end finish and ample lounging and entertaining options. The PC60’s appealing lines are reminiscent of a stylish motoryacht; from the side, it’s hard to tell that it has two hulls. Powered by Cummins QSM11 705-hp engines, the PC60 runs to a top speed of 23 knots, and at 18 knots, has a cruising range of 420 miles. She sleeps six guests in three staterooms with room for two crew in the fourth cabin. The PC60’s helm features a Stidd helm chair, a bench seat to starboard and sun lounge to port.

The extensive electronics package includes a full complement of Garmin equipment, Wi-Fi router, and a complete entertainment system. The interior appointments reflect a European style, and the eclectic wood combinations of satin and gloss ribbon cut walnut, light birch flooring, and plush soft furniture surfaces have a sophisticated feel yet remain relaxed and inviting.

The galley options include a Sub Zero full-height refrigerator/freezer, wine coolers, dishwasher, oven, and induction cooktop. The PC60 appeals to clients who have owned much larger motoryachts, fishing boats, trawlers, and lower-end power and sailing cats and offers a similar volume, deck space, accommodation, and amenities in less space resulting in half the annual running costs and improved attributes.

Horizon PC52 Power Catamaran

The Horizon PC52 Power Catamaran is the little brother of the highly acclaimed PC60. Horizon launched not one, but two versions of its 60-footer last year, and they’re following that pattern with the PC52, which will be available in open flybridge and skylounge versions.

Debuting at the inaugural Taiwan Boat Show in May 2014, the Horizon PC52 was designed by Stuart Hegerstrom and his team at The Powercat Company, who are also responsible for the PC60. (See the boat review in the April 2014 issue of Southern Boating.)

Like Horizon’s other motor yachts—both mono- and multi-hulls—the PC52’s hull, deck and superstructure are constructed using the company’s patented SCRIMP process, resulting in greater strength and resilience but at reduced weight. It’s available in a three-cabin layout with two master staterooms, or a two-cabin version with a VIP cabin forward and guest cabin aft. The aft galley features Corian countertops, four-burner electric range (with propane as an option), microwave oven, and full-height refrigerator with freezer. At the helm you’ll find a 15-inch touch-screen Garmin chartplotter, autopilot and radar with 24-mile range.

The flybridge area on both versions includes a bar area with hot and cold water and mini fridge. The PC52 will arrive stateside in time for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October, according to Horizon.
