Horizon Power Catamarans will bring two debut models to the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show, running March 25–29, with a client-commissioned PC68 and a PC60 in a new configuration both making their first appearances at the event.

The PC68 is no stranger to Palm Beach crowds. The 68-footer first appeared at the 2023 show in the Open Salon layout, where Motor Boat & Yachting famously landed on a single word to describe it: expansive. The salon prompted the observation that "there are hotel ballrooms smaller than this," and with a beam of 24 feet 6 inches (7.5 meters) and a length overall of 68 feet (20.7 meters), the geometry backs up the claim. Twin 850-hp MAN diesels push it to a cruise speed of 20 knots, and with approximately 1,500 gallons (5,670 liters) of fuel capacity aboard, the range picture is compelling. Starting price is listed at $5.45 million. The PC68 is built on a GRP catamaran hull and superstructure to Det Norske Veritas classification standards, and one example was delivered in 2025, according to yacht database records. Forward of the salon, a Portuguese bridge opens onto a deck fitted with twin hi-lo tables and L-shaped seating. At the rear of the flybridge, the wide beam creates enough real estate to carry a 17-foot RIB.

The PC60 carries its own momentum into the 2026 show. Richard Ford, founder and CEO of The Powercat Company, the U.S. representative for Horizon, previewed the direction when the Portuguese Deck configuration made its world premiere on the PC60 at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show. "We are thrilled to unveil the first PC60 with the Portuguese Deck configuration at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show," Ford said at the time. "This layout has been incredibly well received on our PC68 model, and bringing it to our highly popular PC60 further enhances the advantages of this model." The 2026 show will feature the PC60 in a new configuration, building on that momentum.

The PC60 is a four-stateroom yacht. The on-display configuration uses an optional on-deck master stateroom arrangement with three additional cabins below in the hulls. The starboard hull carries an ensuite queen and a twin cabin; the port hull houses a master ensuite with dual wash basins alongside a convertible twin ensuite cabin. Walk-around side decks connect the spacious aft deck to the foredeck and lead up to the Portuguese Deck. Aft of the flybridge, a separate boat deck opens up additional lounging and entertaining space once the tender is deployed. Horizon describes the deck areas as the most sought-after feature of the PC60, which sits in the middle of a PC Series range spanning from the PC52 up through the PC74.

The Powercat Company can be reached at +1 954 552 0868 for details on the 2026 show appearance. At the 2025 show the builder held a premium rampside position at Dock HPCDU, Slips 288–289; the 2026 dock assignment has not been confirmed in available materials.
