Frequently Asked Questions
Browsing listings on LeopardBrokerage.com is a good starting point, where you can filter by size, year, layout, and price. From there, speaking directly with one of our brokers helps narrow things down based on how you actually plan to use the boat.
Yes. Our brokers can walk you through how different models sail, what the interior layouts feel like in practice, and where certain designs work better than others. It helps to discuss your experience level, typical crew size, cruising plans, and budget before you get attached to a specific boat. It’s most helpful to get aboard as many of our models as you can for comparison. You can view the whole range of models currently in production at any of our bases, or in Dania Beach.
Leopard Brokerage specializes in pre-owned Leopard catamarans, including both privately owned and ex-charter boats from The Moorings and Sunsail fleets, and occasionally a handful of models from other brands. If you are still comparing Leopard to other brands, your broker can help you understand how Leopard’s design, build quality, and performance differ so you can make an informed decision.
Because inventory changes regularly, the best way to find a boat near you is to check the latest listings. Start by browsing our current used Leopard catamaran listings and filtering by location. You can set your filter to include “other listings” to expand your search to catamarans offered by outside brokers. Contact our team for guidance on boats available in your region or within easy travel distance.
If you do not see a Leopard catamaran nearby, we can still help. Many buyers expand their search by cruising region, then arrange remote viewings, surveys, or delivery depending on the boat’s location and the buyer’s timeline.
Yes. Many of our buyers are stepping into multihull ownership for the first time, and our brokers are used to explaining the process, timelines, and technical points in plain language. You will have a single point of contact who guides you from first conversation through survey, sea trial, and closing, so you are never left wondering what comes next. We sometimes recommend chartering a catamaran to test it out and feel what it’s like to stay aboard, and to make sure the layout of the model works for your cruising needs. Our partner company The Moorings offers many Leopard Catamaran models for charter.
The earlier the better. An initial conversation helps you refine size, layout, budget, and location before you get attached to a specific listing. This often saves time and travel, because your broker can pre-filter boats, arrange video walkthroughs, and flag upcoming listings that match your plans.
That is a common discussion. A used Leopard can offer faster availability and strong value, while a new build from Leopard Catamarans allows you to choose the latest model and customize options. Because we are part of the broader Leopard group, we can help you weigh the trade-offs between new and used based on timing, budget, and how long you plan to keep the boat.
Privately owned Leopards are often more customized and may have lower usage, with gear chosen for the owner’s specific cruising style. Ex-charter boats from The Moorings or Sunsail tend to have more standardized layouts, professionally managed maintenance records, and a predictable usage pattern. Neither option is automatically better; it depends on how you plan to use the boat.
