Boat Description

The Leopard 48 catamaran represents an outstanding blend of modern engineering and elegant design, tailored for discerning sailors who seek both performance and comfort on blue water passages. This model is renowned for its innovative layout, offering remarkable living space with a bright, airy interior that maximizes natural light throughout the vessel. The forward cockpit, a hallmark of the Leopard 48, is directly accessible from the saloon and seamlessly integrates with a convenient stairway to the forward platform. The aft cockpit is expansive and features a robust cockpit table—ideal for entertaining or alfresco dining—while the elevated helm station provides commanding, unobstructed views for safe navigation and confident offshore maneuvering.

Recent enhancements bolster the catamaran’s already impressive capabilities: a fresh paint update enhances visual appeal, a large-scale solar array supports energy independence, and a modern lithium power bank delivers robust, reliable power for life off the grid. Having successfully sailed over 6,000 miles between Maryland, Trinidad, and Florida, this vessel demonstrates proven reliability and readiness for extended liveaboard cruising.

Previously, the catamaran sustained minor, above-waterline damage during Hurricane Dorian while in charter service. It has since undergone comprehensive repairs and professional restoration, returning it to excellent, turnkey condition. This Leopard 48 stands out as a dependable, versatile, and spacious catamaran—ready for your next bluewater adventure.
