Leopard Catamarans Unveils the Next-Generation Leopard 53 Powercat

Leopard Catamarans introduces the Leopard 53 Powercat, an evolutionary update to its flagship motor yacht. Building on the success of its award-winning predecessor, with more than 140 units delivered worldwide, the new 53PC brings a series of considered refinements aimed at elevating onboard comfort, social living and long-range efficiency.

The key focus of the redesign is the enhancement of the yacht’s expansive exterior living areas. The aft cockpit introduces versatile living and a new level of comfort, ensuring this luxury catamaran remains at the forefront of its class. Owners can now choose between a flexible 'Alfresco' modular furniture setup or a traditional fixed configuration, maximizing adaptability for entertaining or relaxation.

The enhanced walk-through transom and optional redesigned electric lifting platform further integrate the yacht with the water, the aft deck serving as both a tender station in the raised position and a spacious swim platform or beach area when lowered. This thoughtful connection to the sea reinforces the practical appeal of the power catamaran concept.

The flybridge, often described as the heart of the boat, has been completely refined. It now features a more spacious and comfortable seating layout with modular back cushions and new fabric, an upgraded helm station with improved visibility and ergonomics, and a sophisticated wet bar/galley module with an integrated sink, grill, and refrigeration.

Inside, the saloon and galley have undergone a major refresh, focusing on a seamless flow and modern sophistication.

• Saloon & Galley: Redesigned seating, upgraded premium finishes, and enhanced connection between the galley, dining, and lounge areas creates a truly social, open-plan living experience.
• Noise Reduction: A critical engineering update includes housing all major systems in a separate, sealed engine room, substantially reducing engine noise and vibration transmitted into the living spaces, providing a quiet and restful cruising experience.
• Accommodation: The 53PC continues to be offered in three- or four-cabin ensuite layouts, with the owner’s version providing a full private suite complete with a large island bed and spacious walk-in closet.
• Lighting: Modernized cockpit lighting for ambiance and functionality. Ambient and task flybridge lighting built into seating and structure for night use.

The enhanced Leopard 53 Powercat retains its highly efficient hull design and trusted twin Yanmar 370HP engines, offering reliable performance with top speeds up to 24 knots, linear power curve completely flat on the water and an impressive long-range capability.
