The Leopard 45 is one of the most respected blue-water cruising catamarans ever built, and this 2000 example represents serious value at its reduced asking price of NZD $395,000. Constructed by Robertson & Caine — the South African yard behind decades of world-class multihull production — the Leopard 45 was engineered from the ground up for extended offshore passages without compromise. Stretching 13.72 metres with a commanding 7.23-metre beam, the living space aboard dwarfs anything a monohull of comparable price can offer.
Four private cabins make this an ideal liveaboard, charter-ready vessel or long-range family cruiser. The shallow 1.5-metre draft opens up anchorages that deeper-keeled yachts simply cannot reach — a genuine advantage cruising the Pacific Islands, Fiji, or the broader South Pacific circuit. Based in Tauranga, New Zealand, this Leopard 45 sits in one of the country's premier boating hubs with excellent haul-out facilities and onward access to some of the world's finest sailing grounds.
With price reduced and owner motivated, this is a rare opportunity to step aboard a proven offshore platform with strong global resale and charter appeal. Inspect seriously — boats of this calibre at this price point don't sit around.
