THE INCREASING POPULARITY OF POWER CATAMARANS MEANS more boaters are discovering the brand which has Horizon Power Catamarans, been building for this market for 37 years. Its latest model, the PC68, blends seakindly performance with a high level of luxury in a strong build. ¶ Horizon Power Catamarans has done a lot to optimize the space that this yacht's 24-foot-6inch beam affords. The sheer size felt impressive when I boarded from either hull platform (they flank a high-low hydraulic platform) or via the side gates. The cockpit has a 9-foot-long high-gloss wood table that seats eight guests, with real estate to move around unimpeded. The wet bar here has a Corian countertop, a fridge and an ice maker. There is still plenty of room to get to the curved staircase to port, providing access with grab rails to the flybridge.
