Horizon Power Catamarans Embraces Silent Living An advanced power management package for all new powercat builds brings up to 20 hours of generator-free comfort.

TECHNOLOGY

Horizon Power Catamarans has embraced silent living and environmental considerations with a new power management package for its power catamaran builds. Now offered as a standard feature, each Horizon Powercat model will be equipped with an advanced Victron phosphate battery package paired with a Termodinamica variable speed air-conditioning system for minimal generator usage and maximum efficiency.

This system works in tandem to reduce 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. Previously offered as an upgrade, the Victron system has been so successful in PC models that it is now a standard power package in the PC52, PC60, PC68 and larger custom power catamaran models.

V O L U M E 6 5 // 2 0 2 4

11

For a line that sees the majority of its models and owners enjoying the tranquil waters and protected anchorages of The Bahamas, embracing silent cruising and living is not only welcome, it is environmentally sensible.

“Offering an efficient and silent power package is the logical step for our next-generation power catamarans,” says The Powercat Company Founder and CEO Richard Ford.

“With this Victron phosphate package you can run the entire boat, including air-conditioning, refrigeration and freezers, for nearly 20 hours on batteries alone. This, coupled with other areas of energy savings, such as propane-fueled cooking, solar-powered systems and large alternators, goes a long way in mitigating energy consumption while making for an extremely comfortable and enjoyable cruising experience overall.”

THESE PHOTOS Horizon Power Catamarans takes owners one step closer to nature with Victron Energy and Termodinamica.

The new battery system has been implemented into ten powercat builds over the last three years and has demonstrated an 84% improvement in energy efficiencies while offering many convenient “smart” features such as remote monitoring and auto generator start/stop.

Richard Ford goes on to say that Horizon is now able to reduce generator size due to the efficient air-conditioning system coupled with the unique assist mode from the batteries. “Losing power at the dock and ruining food in the fridge or freezers is a thing of the past!” He says.

For more information on the Victron package or available powercat models, please contact The Powercat Company at +1 954 803 8102 or email richard@powercatco.com.

THESE PAGES Horizon Yacht USA owners and guests gathered before the start of the Key West Vibes Rendezvous 2024.

The 2024 Horizon Yacht USA Owners’ Rendezvous in Key West, Florida, saw 20 owners, 15 yachts, and more than 120 guests gather for three days packed with exciting excursions, socializing and dancing, and, of course, delicious cuisine.

What better way to revel in Rendezvous vibes than to cast the previous year’s Mystic Seaport Owners’ Rendezvous in Connecticut into memory and embrace the flair of Key West, Florida.

Attendees were primed for an extraordinary experience.

Steeped in history that inspired Ernest Hemingway and boasting a vibrant present, Key West proved to be the ideal setting for the 2024 Horizon Yacht USA Owners’ Rendezvous.

With America's only living coral reef just offshore, the legendary Duval Street pulsating with nightlife, and the promise of unforgettable sunsets, the scene was set for a weekend of forging lasting memories. Forget “get there fast, then take it slow”—this was all about taking celebrations of the yachting lifestyle up a notch.

ABOVE Horizon yachts arriving at the Perry Hotel & Marina at the start of the Horizon Yacht USA Owners’ Rendezvous 2024.

With 14 yachts already docked, the owner of the E98 Do It Now planned a grand, fashionably late arrival. But the Horizon crew had other plans—a signature Key West surprise! As the yacht maneuvered into place to dock stern-to, two flamboyant local drag queens, the event's special “welcoming committee,” materialized dockside. After expertly guiding the yacht in, the dazzling duo turned their attention to the crowd, posing for pictures and amping up the energy. An outrageous entrance it was, and a preview of the upcoming fun-filled days. Guests then enjoyed some free time to explore the Perry Hotel & Marina in Stock Island before the afternoon’s official welcome and the traditional gift bag presentations.

A truly impressive display of Horizon’s presence with all 15 yachts docked together at the Perry Hotel & Marina was a sight to behold. A weekend filled with exciting activities, unforgettable excursions, and delectable food and drinks was in store for the 20 owner groups and over 120 guests.

The festivities kicked off with a vibrant Key West-themed poolside welcome reception, complete with henna tattoos, locally inspired hors d’oeuvres, refreshing cocktails, and live music. Both new and long-time Horizon owners mingled and shared stories of their adventures on the open waters. It is great to see owners and guests who had never met before becoming fast friends, and as the owner of the FD100 perfectly captured the moment: “You meet these folks (other boat owners) and it’s like you’ve known them for years.” As new relationships formed and others enjoyed catching up, excitement crackled in the air. With the fun just beginning, guests returned to their yachts, eagerly anticipating the evening's events.

A few short hours later, trolleys whisked guests away to the heart of the action—Duval Street in Downtown Key West. Here, live music pulsed through the air, a siren call inviting them to a private rooftop terrace, from which a dazzling panorama of Duval Street unfolded.

Enjoying world-class cuisine and taking in the vibrant tapestry of sights and sounds, guests continued the celebration into the night by dancing to the sounds of the Jutt Huffman band. Meanwhile, Horizon’s staff worked behind the scenes, weaving their magic to ensure the next day’s adventures would be just as unforgettable.

THESE PHOTOS Guests were flown to the Dry Tortugas Islands for fun and exploration.

Guests were treated to an array of activities on Day 2, presented with the choice of visiting the Dry Tortugas by seaplane, enjoying a jet ski tour, a Paint and Sip at the hotel, or journeying to Duval Street to explore the local sights.

Those traveling to the Dry Tortugas, one of America’s most treasured National Parks, boarded one of four seaplanes scheduled throughout the day, to land at Fort Jefferson. During the ride, the pilot pointed out wildlife such as pods of wild dolphins, sea turtles, schools of tarpon, and even a giant manta ray. Other attractions included Mel Fisher’s Sunken Ship, the Marquesas, and several other islands and channels along the way. As the seaplane glided to land, passengers gingerly stepped directly onto the captivating shoreline. Now, the island itself had become their playground. Whether they chose to explore the historic surroundings, participate in a snorkel, or simply relax on the beach soaking up the sun and the island’s serenity, the day was theirs to shape. And as Megan Johnson, Horizon Yachts Interior Design Project Lead, who joined the Dry Tortugas excursion observed, it was an opportunity to recharge her creative talents as she relished observing sea life up close.

THESE PHOTOS Guests also had the opportunity to Sip & Paint at the hotel or explore the islands on jet skis.

This is when the Horizon owners and guests who are new to the Rendezvous really start to feel like part of the family, and that is a wonderful thing to see. The bonds that were formed reminiscing about the day’s adventures and what is yet to come will be long-lasting and sincere. Exquisite local dishes fueled the conversations, and even as dinner wound down, the party spirit lingered. For many, the festivities continued on their yachts. One of several parties taking place into the wee hours of the morning was aboard Skyline, a Horizon FD87, where a sizable group reveled late into the night. Stories, jokes, and toasts flowed freely, making full use of the versatility and functionality of the FD Series design.

THESE PHOTOS Key West Vibes themed Yacht Hop and Aft Deck Decor Contest brought creativity and friendly competition between the participating yachts.

The final day of the Key West Owners’ Rendezvous dawned with a buzz. Today was Yacht Hop! This is when aft decks transform into themed wonderlands, each with incredibly well-thought out and detailed decorations, signature cocktails, and a favorite appetizer. All in friendly competition, of course.

With a marvelous display of variety, the job of judging this year's entries by Johnny Vance, the Concierge of the Perry Hotel & Marina, was made that much more challenging. Owners had spent countless hours prepping, bragging rights on the line. But beyond the competition, the true joy was in connecting with fellow yacht enthusiasts. Although the competitive part was fun and enjoyable, the opportunity to visit other owners and guests and foster friendships was what most participants enjoyed the most. It’s a recipe for cherished memories.

Key West's history and charm combined with an array of exciting excursions and events for our guests made this year's Rendezvous one of the most favorite yet.

THESE PHOTOS The Key West Vibes themed decor brought to life Ernest Hemingway, tiki bars and beach life.

Sara, owner of Horizon V68 Monaco, remarked, “Everyone does something interesting, and when you visit the various boats, you’re really meeting people.” Her husband John added, “You generally have about 10-15 minutes to go onboard, see the décor, try the signature food and drinks that they created for their yacht, and share what we devised for ours. You build relationships that turn into friendships.”

As the final judging came to an end, most guests took time to rest and relax, while others carried on the aft deck parties and felt the need to “retry” some of the signature cocktails.

After the PC60 Synergy was awarded bragging rights for the cornhole tournament, everyone retreated back to their respective boats to start prepping for the infamous Pimp Your Ride competition. The creative juices were flowing in the attempt to claim one of the three elusive prizes; Most Creative, Most Unique, and Funniest. Faced with detailed themes like Despicable Me, Star Wars, and El Día de los Muertos, the judges had their work cut out for them, but in the end, the PC60 High Option won Most Creative; the PC68 Omakase won Funniest, and the PC60s Brokedown Palace and Oasis jointly claimed the title of Most Unique.

After peeling off the costumes, wigs, and face paint, everyone met back on the dock for the signature Rendezvous potluck dinner with fresh stone crab and South African sausages.

Once all 12 PCs were gracefully and skillfully rafted together, the Captain’s Cocktail Competition got underway.

With every boat crafting up something both beautiful and delicious, it was a near impossible task for the judges. The PC60 Fruition won the coveted prize for Best Presentation, and the combined efforts of the PC60s Brokedown Palace and Kairos garnered the award for Best Taste.

Some even thought they had the competition won, until the PC60 Brokedown Palace ended all speculation by landing their first-ever white marlin, easily claiming the Longest Fish trophy. The PC60 Synergy beat out the fishing enthusiasts aboard the PC52 My Best Life by one pound to take home the Heaviest Fish trophy. Being the final night, it had to end in style.

V77 CMY

In June, Horizon Yacht USA inaugurated its brand-new Seattle office at the Salmon Bay Marine Center and the city’s yachting community gathered for an unforgettable Open House extravaganza.

The Horizon Yacht USA team welcomed brokers, clients, owners, and local neighbors from the Salmon Bay Marine Center for a tour of their new office and the grand unveiling of the Horizon V77 CMY, elegantly poised in her splendor for guests to explore and marvel at up close.

As guests descended upon the Hall of Fame Marina in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, in July, Horizon Yacht USA unveiled a summer splendor showcase of the ‘Magnificent Eight’—a fleet of stunning Horizon vessels, each one exemplifying exceptional craftsmanship and design excellence.

As previous owners, clients, and local brokers and their guests arrived at the marina, they were warmly greeted by the Horizon Yacht USA team with drinks and light appetizers.

Refreshed, it was time to head down the dock for a visual feast of three brand-new vessels (FD75, FD80, and E90), two previously owned that are now available for sale (the CC115 Adagio and FD87 Bella Tu), and three other Horizon yachts that were docked at the marina (the 92 Belisarius, the FD85 Midnight Moon, and a brand new FD110, which made quite the impression and added to the grand presence of the occasion).

2024 Sydney International Boat Show FD80's Craftsmanship and AMSA 2C Certification Draws Crowds

In an encore to the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in May, the 2024 Sydney International Boat Show was abuzz with excitement as nearly 42,000 visitors gathered from August 1–4 at the picturesque Darling Harbour for a celebration of superyachts, boats, and cutting-edge marine technology.

At the heart of the action, Horizon’s eye-catching display at the Cockle Bay Marina entrance featured the stunning FD80 Hull 12, a true showstopper that wowed many attendees.

Guests were enchanted by the yacht’s impeccable layout and the luxurious quality of its finishes. Built to meet the rigorous standards of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA 2C), this vessel exemplifies Horizon’s dedication to crafting yachts that are not only beautiful but also tailored to meet specific maritime requirements.

THESE PHOTOS The interior koto-wood atmosphere beautifully illuminated by an abundance of natural light, courtesy of the large windows.

Onboard, this FD80’s interior offers a warm, inviting ambiance, accentuated by floor-to-ceiling windows that usher in natural light. With generous areas thoughtfully planned for socializing, dark koto wood and rich-textured accents speak to the artistry of the design. Accommodating up to eight guests in four cabins—including an on-deck full-beam master stateroom—the yacht features a split-use skylounge and a heated Jacuzzi complete with its own bar counter. And for those with a taste for adventure, the design includes a hydraulic folding radar mast and a one-ton helicopter landing pad.
