Two established ideas, one configuration
The Portuguese Deck first appeared aboard a PC60 in 2025, but Horizon says PC60-636 is the first to pair that forward upper-deck area with an Open Salon main deck. This is a layout announcement for a specific build, not the launch of an entirely new PC60 model.
The deck is reached through a centreline passage forward of the flybridge helm and uses convertible dining and lounging furniture. Owners gain an additional outdoor gathering area without surrendering the sheltered upper-deck character that makes longer passages comfortable.
Why the beam changes the saloon
The PC60's published beam is 7.47 metres across an overall length of 18.78 metres, a notably broad platform within the LYG size range. Horizon uses that width for a galley connected to the saloon, broad glazing and a raised forward lounge.
On this particular hull, the owner specified three staterooms and four heads, with a full-beam principal suite in the starboard hull and guest accommodation to port. That arrangement is not interchangeable with every PC60 plan, and the builder also offers a separate on-deck-master configuration.
The standard PC60 model page also publishes 3,785 litres of fuel capacity and 1,150 litres of fresh water. As on any semi-custom build, the final equipment and tankage of PC60-636 should be confirmed against the delivered documentation.
Quiet living alongside diesel power
Horizon says the yacht carries a Victron-based Silent Living package intended to support up to 20 hours of generator-free comfort each day. The actual duration will depend on climate, electrical loads, battery condition and how the yacht is operated.
Twin MAN i6 engines rated at 850hp each are paired with builder-stated figures of roughly 20 knots cruising and 25 knots maximum speed for PC60-636. These remain the builder's estimates rather than independently measured results for every hull.
What this shows about semi-custom ownership
The significant choice is not simply whether the owner wants more outdoor seating. It is how the upper-deck route, galley arrangement, privacy between hulls and battery-supported hotel load work together over a normal day aboard.
A standard model photograph accompanies this report and should not be read as documentary proof of PC60-636's precise fit-out. Prospective buyers should obtain the individual general arrangement, equipment specification and sea-trial data for the hull being considered.
The forward passage changes the social geography aboard by making another open-air area usable without a detour via the main deck. That may be especially useful in the kind of mixed family-and-guest cruising for which an 18-metre powercat is specified.
