2019 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 45 – Forever for Now

Builder's Remarks:   We are pleased to announce that the Leopard 45 has been awarded 2017 Boat of the Year by Cruising World Magazine. This marks the 7th Cruising World Boat of the Year win by Leopard. This year’s award was in the newly created Best Charter Catamaran category proving that South African Builders, Robertson and Caine, have perfected the art of not only creating the perfect  boat but one that is perfectly suited for the charter industry as well. 

The judging was done by a team of three independent industry experts, who conducted thorough dockside inspections and then carried out sea trials. The Leopard 45 proved to be the leader of the pack in all areas of the judging. What stood out in particular was her performance and innovation. Additionally, the judges were impressed by the amount of space provided by the forward cockpit, which is connected to the saloon through a translucent door. Another area of interest to the judges was the main saloon, which hosts a forward facing galley and dinette. The judges also noted that visibility through the Leopard 45 is excellent.

Broker's Remarks:  FOREVER FOR NOW is looking in great shape and has completed her phase out refit process and is ready to go. Owner and survey oversaw final phase out. The lowest priced Leopard 45 in the Caribbean. She is the latest 2019 version with updated specifications over early models. Due to Covid freeze, she is certainly looking one year less. 

Seller's Remarks: FOREVER FOR NOW has been a dream boat for our family adventures during 5 years. After owning several boats, we consider the Leopard 45' is the perfect combination of comfort, performance, quality and reliability with very little maintenance required, all well conducted by Moorings. She has great blue water capabilities, and is a fantastic platform for living on the water. We hope she will fulfill the next owner in search of adventures in Nature. 

Availability: She has surveyed twice in November 2024 and most recently in April 2025 with 100+ points fixed or replaced.  The boat has just been fully phased out by the end of April and available for purchase for her new owners to take to the sea immediately for her next adventure!
