With versatility in mind, we bring to you the next generation of Leopard Catamarans, the Leopard 50. She has been designed to replace one of the best-selling Leopard Catamarans of all time, the award-winning Leopard 48. The Leopard 50 has the ideal layout for anyone looking for more outdoor living space as she comes equipped with a flybridge that includes a lounge area, table, sunbed and optional exterior speakers and shade awning.  Access is provided by floating stairs leading up from the aft cockpit. An important distinction compared to similar sailboat flybridge configurations is that while under sail, passengers can move about the flybridge with ample headroom and never worry about interference from the boom.  The flybridge is also situated to still maintain contact with the helm station, an important feature found on all Leopard Catamarans.

The entire exterior styling of the Leopard 50 has also been revamped to give the hull a more sophisticated look. In addition to the exterior options, the interior offers multiple layout configuration with 4 or 5 cabins, and an extensive options list.

SAILING RANGE

Power range, leopard 42 catamaran, the new leopard 42 has the unmistakable dna of the brand.

Proof that you can have it all. The Leopard 42 is the organic evolution into the new generation of our award-winning line of yachts.

Built by Robertson & Caine and designed by Naval Architects, Simonis & Voogd, together we have created a revolutionary design that has exceed expectations by offering far more than anticipated.

This was accomplished all while maintaining our signature balance of comfort and uncompromised performance.

The exterior styling has adapted to the modern appearance of the award-winning Leopard 50, which features continuous hull side windows, a continuous hardtop, and what has quickly become our signature, an upper-lounge area.

Available in 3 cabin / 3 heads and 4 cabin / 4 heads, all cabins include their own private en-suite heads. All heads include their own designated shower area; a feature not currently found on catamarans in this size range.

The Leopard 42 has the unmistakable DNA of a Leopard Catamaran with plenty of new technology and building techniques used to make it a magnificent ocean-going yacht with a feel of space, comfort and performance only previously found in significantly larger models.

In the saloon, we have added a generous skylight, as well and an additional window in the aft starboard corner facing the helm seat. The forward-facing L-shaped galley is sure to entice any chef!

All bunks are now island berths that allow access from both sides. With windows everywhere space permitted, the natural light is amplified.

About the Cape Dory we wrote: Conservative yacht designer Carl Alberg was plainly more concerned with a boat's ultimate stability than its speed. Perhaps the clearest example is found in the specifications of his Cape Dory Typhoon. Displacing two-thousand pounds on a 13'6" waterline, with nine-hundred pounds in ballast—the Cape Dory Typhoon might be the beefiest mini-cruiser in its class.

Leopard 53 Powercat

The ultimate power catamaran that surpasses all others. Built by Robertson & Caine and designed by naval architects Simonis Voogd, the Leopard 53 Powercat marries comfort, performance and ease of handling, delivering an unparalleled blue water cruising experience. This 4th generation vessel features all the attributes that made its predecessors successful, while reimagining what a powercat should be. Here, there is no compromise; the Leopard 53 expertly combines luxury with the rugged and adventurous spirit for which the brand is known. The result is unprecedented space, stability, and efficiency with every creature comfort one would expect from a luxury motor yacht. Outdoor entertaining space is paramount, and the Leopard 53 has been expertly designed to anticipate every need of the passenger. Spacious seating large enough to accommodate everyone surrounds a large table, creating the perfect environment to convene and recount the day’s adventures, enjoy a meal with spectacular views, or just sit back and take in the salt air. Intuitive design throughout means improved functionality and efficiency, including the flybridge and helm station with maximized visibility. All coach roof windows are flat toughened glass for optical clarity. Smart, ergonomic design and the latest technology work harmoniously to create ease of operation and maintenance for a seamless onboard experience. Inside, a modern interior with a cool palette immediately sets the tone for at-sea living. The saloon features an L-shaped lounge and a two-person settee with an option to add an interior navigation station. The hull side window, with the option of different portlight configurations, as well as the coach roof windows and panoramic windows in the saloon, bring in an abundance of natural light. At night, smart lighting casts warm, consistent light throughout the space. It’s easy to move about with access to the foredeck through the forward saloon door. The galley, a natural gathering spot, offers ample storage and is outfitted with Staron® worktop surfaces and a full suite of appliances making meal preparations easy and enjoyable. The Leopard 53 Powercat reimagines comfort through its optimal use of space and attention to detail, evident in every aspect of the design. Available in three- or four-cabin layouts with the option for separate crew cabins, private quarters include ensuite heads with their own shower area. The three-cabin owner’s version provides an at-home feel with a large island bed, a walk-in closet and a double vanity. A separate engine room that houses all major systems is completely sealed off from the living space, substantially reducing engine noise and odors. The Leopard 53 Powercat brings freedom and exhilaration to cruising in a way no other powercat can. Sit back, relax and enjoy cruising on your own terms.
