Twenty four knots from two hulls that barely ripple the water.
Twin Yanmar 8LV370 diesels, 370hp each, drive her to a 24 knot top end and a 17 knot cruise that keeps fuel burn low. An optional pair of 440hp Yanmars is available for owners who want more top end without changing the hull. At 2,200 litres of fuel she is built for distance, not just day trips, and a shallow 1.1 metre draught keeps anchorages and shallow bays open to her that a deep keeled motor yacht would have to avoid. The catamaran platform does the rest of the work: two slim hulls cut displacement and drag, so she needs less power to hold a cruising speed that would strain a monohull of the same length, and the ride stays flat even when the wind picks up.
Her lines were drawn for a motor yacht from the very first sketch, not borrowed from a sailing hull.
Simonis Voogd Design shaped her exterior and naval architecture together, breaking from the practice of earlier Leopard powercats that adapted a sailing catamaran’s hull for engines. A fixed hardtop runs the length of the flybridge, shading a space built for alfresco dining and sunbathing above an open cockpit one level below. Walkaround decks keep her accessible along the full 16.2 metre length, and the cockpit table extends out from the transom to seat more guests than a 53 foot cat usually manages. The silhouette has barely changed since launch, proof the original brief, speed with space, was right the first time.
The salon takes the full width of her beam, and she uses every centimetre of it.
At 7.7 metres across, the beam gives the saloon close to 360 degrees of glass, so the view runs unbroken from the helm to the aft doors. Relaxation spreads across four distinct zones: the shaded flybridge above, the covered cockpit behind, a foredeck sunpad forward and an aft swim platform at the water. Guests move between them without crossing the same space twice, which matters on a boat built as much for entertaining twelve for the day as it is for the eight who might sleep aboard. The flybridge, in particular, works as a second saloon rather than a sun deck, with proper seating rather than loungers alone.
Four cabins, eight berths, and a layout that can flex to suit a crewed charter or a private owner.
The standard arrangement sleeps eight guests across four cabins, with an optional crew configuration for owners who charter or simply prefer dedicated crew quarters. Leopard’s in-house team handled the interior, keeping the finish practical rather than ornate, a choice that suits a yacht built to be lived aboard for weeks at a time rather than admired at the dock. An optional interior navigation station lets the helm move inside in poor weather, a detail more common on larger motor yachts than on a 53 foot catamaran. Day capacity for twelve means she can comfortably host more than she sleeps, useful for an owner who entertains locally as often as they cruise distances.
Two thousand nautical miles on paper, and the fuel capacity to make that more than a brochure claim.
A 2,200 litre tank and the low drag of a catamaran hull give her genuine range, the kind that opens up ocean passages a comparable monohull motor yacht would need to break into fuel stops. Cruising at 17 knots keeps consumption down without sacrificing a sensible point to point pace, and the builder’s efficiency claim, up to 50 per cent better than a monohull of similar size, is the clearest expression of why two slim hulls still make sense against a single wide one. For an owner planning real distance rather than short hops between marinas, that efficiency is the number that matters most.
