The Leopard 46′ is considered one of the best designs of an all-round blue water cruiser. She is fast, comfortable and safe and was designed with ease of maintenance in mind. Fine entry bows and performance oriented hull shape ensure fast passages. Large volume interior and exceptional pay load capacity allow you to take your friends and family onboard for extended periods of time.

Robertson and Caine knew they a winner on their hands when this model was first introduced in late 2006. Over 160 of this model have been built since. Equally comfortable for coastal cruising yet capable of crossing oceans at remarkable speed.

Built by Robertson & Caine in South Africa, these popular vessels are notable for their strength, durability and attention to detail. The Leopard 46 is a true transoceanic catamaran, offering comfort, space and unmatched reliability.

The Leopard 46 model is widely reknown as the most robust and enduring model to come out of the Robertson and Caine yard. The hulls are of GRP construction with balsa core for strength, stiffness and insulation using high quality materials.

An exceptional shallow draft of 4 ft 5in/ 1.35 metres allows for access to shallow waterways and quiet anchorages.

The wide aft platform allows easy access to the boat and connects both swim platforms. A large opening allows walk through access from the aft platform into the cockpit. A feature of the Leopard 46 is the great connectivity between the helm station, the cockpit and the saloon, allowing all of the family to enjoy and share the cruising life.

Leopard 46 Review: Better than a Lagoon?

Clients often debate about which of the production catamaran brands to purchase. Is there a significant difference between a Fountain-Pajot, Lagoon, and Leopard? After an 11 day delivery of a Leopard 46 from Fort Lauderdale to Cartagena, Colombia and a delivery of a Lagoon 440 in March from Fort Lauderdale to Annapolis, in many respects the Leopard out classed the Lagoon including performance, durability, and comfort. My colleague and super star sailor Kevin Bray lauded the Leopard throughout the delivery. “After working on this boat for 3 months and now sailing her, I can honestly say I like this Leopard 46 design, and there are not a lot of boats that I can say that about,” shared Kevin.…
