Leopard 43 PowerCat Power Catamarans For Sale

The Leopard 43 Powercat is a mid‑sized power catamaran produced by Robertson & Caine to designs and naval architecture by Simonis Voogd. The model combines a stepped, narrow‑hulled form beneath the waterline with increased interior volume above the waterline, a configuration intended to reduce wetted surface and preserve performance while expanding accommodation and living spaces.

Typical arrangements for the 43 Powercat include a three‑cabin, two‑head layout with a full‑length owner’s suite to port in the owner’s version, and an interior organized around a forward galley and an aft‑facing settee. The design emphasizes indoor–outdoor flow: sliding glass doors between the saloon settee and the aft cockpit, a large forward window and an access door to the bow combine to provide nearly 360‑degree views and straightforward deck movement.

Performance is provided by twin Yanmar 320 hp diesel engines. Published performance figures from examples and listings indicate a comfortable cruising speed in the high teens (around 17 knots) with top speeds reported near 24 knots; the type has been noted for respectable fuel efficiency at lower RPMs and for covering inter‑island passages in excess of 300 nautical miles at cruise speed on some examples. Twin‑hull stability yields a drier ride and large deck areas without compromising maneuverability relative to comparable single‑hulled powerboats.

Onboard systems and deck planning reflect the model’s use as a practical cruising platform. Flybridge arrangements commonly include a helm, generous seating, a dining table and cooking facilities (grill or electric grill), with wet bar and sunbathing platforms reported on production examples. Several listed yachts show fitments aimed at extended, off‑grid operation—9 kW generator, inverter systems, solar panels and watermaker installations—supporting liveaboard or longer cruising regimes.

The Leopard 43 Powercat is therefore positioned as a performance‑oriented powercat that prioritizes interior volume, stability and range, with layouts and systems that have been tailored in multiple examples for cruising, liveaboard use, and charter operations.
