The christening ceremony kicked off the 2022 Horizon Power Catamaran Owners’ Rendezvous
Surrounded by Horizon Power Catamaran (HPC) owners and guests of the 2022 Horizon Power Catamaran Owners’ Rendezvous, a brand new Horizon PC65 was recently christened by her owners in Harbour Island, Bahamas. The event marked the unofficial start of the fourth Horizon Power Catamaran Owners’ Rendezvous, which saw 13 power catamarans from 52 to 65 feet and their owners and guests in attendance for the five-day event.
Christened Hideout, the new PC65 had recently arrived in the U.S. and the owners made their shakedown cruise to The Bahamas for the Rendezvous. Hideout is a four-stateroom yacht with an on-deck master configuration, with a VIP king and a queen cabin in the starboard hull and a twin ensuite in the port hull. A spacious aft deck leads into the main salon, which features an expansive galley opposite a large L-shaped sofa. The semi-enclosed skylounge above offers a bar, additional lounging and a dayhead aft of the helm.
The PC65 is the second Horizon yacht for the experienced owners, who moved up from their PC60 and specified a Sea Torque Boss shaft system and VEEM propellers to achieve a top-end speed of 27.4 knots on their new yacht. The move to the PC65 has provided a lot more interior space, as well as the flybridge, which accommodates both their 14ft tender and a SeaDoo jetski.
The owners worked with the Vision shipyard Design Center and Leigh Ford of HPC to execute a stunning contemporary interior, which features a cross grain acacia wood with stainless steel accented inlays complemented by an open-pore teak floor. Storage is maximized throughout the catamaran, with drawers and cabinets efficiently designed into every available space. The owner’s custom diamond design element is also tastefully executed in the detailing in both the interior and the nameplate.
As the owners took delivery of their new yacht, we asked about the origin of the yacht’s name. “You know the saying, ‘once an adult, always a child’?” says the owner. “As a child in a large family I always loved having my hideout. This is our hideout.” The owners plan to cruise The Bahamas and Florida’s Gulf Coast aboard their new yacht.
