Until March 31, 2026, Saint-Raphaël is hosting the Leopard Catamarans Winter Showroom, an unmissable opportunity to get up close and personal with the full range of motor catamarans from the renowned South African shipyard. If you are looking for a catamaran for comfortable cruising, this is the right opportunity.
Leopard’s motor range includes three models designed for mid- to long-distance cruising: the Leopard 40 Powercat, Leopard 46 Powercat, and Leopard 53 Powercat. Designed by Simonis Voogd Design, the same designers behind the celebrated sailing range, these planing/semi-displacement catamarans combine efficiency, ease of maneuvering and generous space.
Leopard 40 Powercat represents the entry point of the range, a modern and compact solution that does not compromise on livability. Ideal for those who want a versatile boat, easy to handle even by a couple, with low fuel consumption and reliable equipment. Despite its compact size, it maintains two or three cabins, habitable saloon and great an attention to the accessibility of facilities. Leopard 46 Powercat expands living spaces and adds a spacious flybridge: it is the choice of those who sail long periods, looking for maximum comfort without overdoing the size.
Leopard 53 Powercat is the masterpiece of the power range. At more than 16 meters in length, she offers true yacht space with spacious cabins, a generous flybridge and a protected deckhouse. The engines provide an attractive cruising speed with declared efficiency well above a monohull of the same size. She is the choice of owners seeking unlimited comfort without compromise.
The showroom is not just a showcase. Leopard Catamarans has arranged dedicated sea trials. Leopard’s technical team will be available to explain construction details, engine options, layout choices and charter property management programs.
