2017 Leopard 48 Owners Version available in Fort Lauderdale - Ready to Sail Away

Introducing a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained 2017 Leopard 48 Owner’s Version—never chartered and carefully upgraded for serious cruising. Unlike many of its peers, this catamaran has spent a total of three years on the hard, significantly reducing wear and ensuring its systems are in exceptional condition. Key highlights include a professionally completed $20K bulkhead reinforcement (a must for any L48), a comprehensive electrical overhaul in 2020, and an extensive inventory of cruising upgrades and spare parts, originally intended for a South Pacific adventure. Designed for true off-grid living, every essential system—air conditioning, water maker, washer/dryer, and hot water heater—runs entirely on battery power. Never exposed to a hurricane, this is a rare find for those seeking a well-prepared and carefully documented Leopard 48.



  1. All maintenance items current.
  2. Very carefully maintained. Long maintenance spreadsheet, with part numbers, will be included
