Catamaran Brokerage is pleased to present this 2016 model Leopard 44, now available for her new owner in Sint Maarten, Caribbean—an ideal location to begin your cruising adventure and customize the boat to your preferences.
This catamaran has been owned by a professional captain and was purchased after its time in a charter fleet. Since then, she has been meticulously maintained and operates in a day charter fleet of five very well-pampered sailing catamarans with a renowned company in Sint Maarten.
The new owner of this fantastic catamaran will have the option to purchase her and begin their sailing journey immediately.
If you plan to sail only a few weeks or months per year, the charter company offers the possibility of keeping the yacht in the fleet. They will handle all charter operations, maintenance, and management, allowing the owner to generate additional income. The owner will also have the flexibility to use the boat personally whenever desired, as bookings can be easily switched to other yachts in the fleet.
Whether you choose to live aboard full-time with family and friends or leave the maintenance and dockage to the well-known charter company while receiving monthly revenue, the choice is yours.

Factory comments:
One of the many intriguing features this yacht offers is the forward cockpit with direct access from the saloon. While a forward cockpit is conventional on the modern cruising catamaran, the Leopard 44 distinctively offers an integral hardtop bimini, protecting the forward and aft cockpit, while also creating a comfortable outdoor living space.
The Leopard 44’s sailing performance and ease of handling has earned her multiple awards. All running rigging runs aft to the standard electric winch allowing this yacht to be sailed from the comfort and safety of the protected helm station with double helm seat and hardtop bimini.

Notes on History:
The boat was previously in a charter fleet in the BVI and sustained some damage during Hurricane Irma in 2017. The mast broke into two pieces but did not fall on the deck or lifelines. A new mast and standing rigging were replaced in 2020.
Minor damage on the transom was repaired with fiberglass.
In 2018, due to a defective rudder bearing, the port engine room was flooded with seawater, damaging the port engine. The port engine was replaced with a brand-new Yanmar 2019 model in 2020.
