Horizon Power Catamarans gathers record 13-yacht fleet in the Bahamas
A record 13 Horizon power catamarans crossed the Devil’s Backbone to Harbour Island, where the PC68 Oasis was christened dockside for the biggest rendezvous yet.
The real story in Horizon Power Catamarans’ Bahamas rendezvous was not the raft-up photo, it was the after-sales life the brand is selling once the handover is done. Thirteen power catamarans made the run through the Devil’s Backbone off North Eleuthera to Harbour Island and Romora Bay Resort & Marina, where more than 70 owners and guests spent four days around the dockside christening of the new PC68 Oasis.
Horizon said the May 21 gathering marked a decade of annual springtime rendezvous trips in The Bahamas, and the fleet showed how broad the owner base has become. The boats included Aloha Time, Quintessa, Rum Rascal, Salus, Joy Ride, Synergy, OHANA, Homarus, Thea, KAIROS, Peacemaker and Sea Glass, along with Oasis. The lineup stretched from PC52s and multiple PC60s to a custom PC74 and the brand-new PC68, a mix that turned the event into a rolling showroom without feeling like one. Day 2 added the owner-first tone Horizon wants, with the usual Pimp My Ride competition and a scavenger hunt across Harbour Island.
That is what makes these rendezvous matter. Horizon’s 2023 gathering in Shroud Cay drew 10 power catamarans and nearly 50 owners and guests over April 25-29, and the 2025 edition in Key West ran April 24-27. The 2026 Bahamas run was the largest so far in the company’s account, and the fourth Horizon build for the owners of Oasis made the loyalty piece impossible to miss. This is not just repeat attendance; it is repeat ownership inside the same brand family.
The PC68 sits right at the center of that story. Horizon says the model is 68 feet long with a 24-foot 6-inch beam and a four-stateroom layout, with either an open-plan salon or an on-deck master stateroom, plus an extended flybridge, Portuguese deck seating and a folding stern section. The model was first introduced at the 2022 Palm Beach International Boat Show, and its presence in the Bahamas underlined how Horizon uses new product launches to feed the owner network, not just the sales floor.
Richard Ford’s own backstory fits the same pattern. He began chasing a life at sea after military service in South Africa at 21, was running charter boats in the Caribbean by 1986 and working alongside Leigh by 1989. Horizon now says it has passed the $300 million sales mark, but the stronger signal came from the dock in The Bahamas: a record 13-yacht fleet, a christening, and a group of owners who keep showing up because the brand has built a ritual worth returning to.
