Horizon PC52

There’s three levels of exquisite living spaces on this model, crowned by a flybridge split between a climate-controlled pilot-house and an aft sun terrace. To the rear there is room to relax in full sunshine, while an optional Steelhead Marine davit can be used for lifting and storing a jet-tender. Step inside to discover an elevated space with wrap-around windows, slick leather seating options, a walk-in wet-bar and the vessel’s main helm station. This impressive dashboard features twin Garmin touch-screen devices, a night-vision camera, an optional Garmin fish-finder, XM weather feedback, an oversized steering wheel, digital throttles, a docking joystick, bow thruster controls and hand-held VHF radio.

Down on the teak-lined main-deck you will discover a secluded foredeck area with sunpad cushions, while to stern there is a shaded transom sofa, space for a dining table and an outdoor grill with bar facilities. Two sets of transom steps lead down to bathing platforms attached to the end of each hull with options like a freshwater shower, a swim ladder or even fishing accessories available. There’s also a hydraulic platform that can be lowered to connect these two water-level zones to create one vast beach-club.

You will really appreciate the huge 22-foot beam as you step into a spacious and free-flowing main-deck salon lined in satin-finished timber with a walnut trim, a pale ash sole, a leather-effect ceiling panel and wide-screen glazing. The walk-in galley kitchen to aft boasts Corian Sahara countertops, timber-lined cabinets, a serving bar, a Miele multi-zone hob, a convection oven, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, a steel sink and plenty of room to hang-out as you cook. Further forward there’s a sprawling L-shaped sofa ready for late-night conversation as well as two capacious cabinet consoles.

There’s as many as three separate staircases leading down to the lower-deck, one for each cabin, to create that rare sense of privacy on a yacht of this size. To port there is a twin cabin with a full-height locker and a sedate tone that shares a spa-like bathroom with a forward double stateroom. To starboard, meanwhile, there is a master stateroom with a double bed, a dressing room and a private en-suite with a shower stall lined in Venetian mosaic tiles and a ceramic sink. Rooms on this level benefit from panoramic hull windows, skylights, pale timber surrounds, upholstered headboards and vast storage.

Twin semi-displacement hulls with planing wedges promote plenty of natural stability and a wave-defying approach to voyages for a sure-footed guest experience, while widely-spaced engines deliver enhanced agility and stamina. A pair of 550HP Cummins QSB6.7 diesel inboards should deliver top speeds of around 25 knots, while at a 14-knot cruising speed you will enjoy a range of up to 489 nautical miles thanks to an 800-gallon fuel tank. Ease back into an economy cruise of 8.4 knots, however, and this range expands to a long-haul 1,008 nautical miles, more than enough to match your seafaring ambitions.
