2017 Leopard 51 Powercat Tortola, Îles Vierges britanniques

Fantastic Leopard 51 – LOADED with UPGRADES and US TAX PAID!

‘Ida Cat’ is a beautiful, 2017 Leopard 51PC in the very popular 4 cabin/4 head layout.  Ida Cat is in a small, boutique charter fleet at Virgin Charter Yachts in BVI.  Ida Cat is available to be purchased out of charter and moved to private ownership, or she can remain in charter through 2027, and the existing charter calendar conveys with purchase! 

US tax has already been paid, so you don’t need to worry about the expense of any additional tariffs if you want to use Ida Cat full-time in the US. 

Ida Cat has an extensive list of upgrades, and is not like the ‘traditional’ Leopard 51’s you see being sold from other charter companies.   Upgrades aboard Ida Cat include: 

• NEW 12kw Northern Lights generator 2024 (standard size in 9kw)

• NEW exterior upholstery 2024

• NEW port side AC unit 2024

• Spectra Watermaker 

• Ice Maker 

• Two Frigibar electric (hardwired 110v) refrigerator/freezers on the flybridge (over $15k EACH) to provide substantial additional cold storage 

• Synthetic teak on aft deck, cockpit and flybridge 

• Upgraded galley layout with built-in microwave and additional storage

• Low-maintenance, electric dinghy davit

• All pre-season annual services completed including; engine oil changes, new bottom paint and full acid wash/flush of heat exchangers and aftercoolers (Oct 2024)

Ida Cat has been constantly maintained and upgraded by our team of in-house engineers and shipwrights and she shows in above-average condition.   All maintenance records are available! 

Already being fit with a watermaker, ice maker, and additional cold storage, Ida Cat is the perfect powercat for your private cruising adventures – you can just jump on board and go! 

Virgin Charter Yachts is a private charter company that has specialized in offering motor yachts and power catamarans for charter in the British Virgin Islands since 1996.    Our company only offers 20-25 yachts for charter, and this allows us to provide extensive preventative maintenance to our yachts and they show more like private yachts rather than the typical ‘charter boats’ seen at the big companies who have 300+ yachts to maintain.  

About the Leopard 51PC

Designed by renowned yacht builders Robertson and Caine/Leopard; the 51PC (power catamaran) is the pinnacle of cruising perfection. Cruise with power from twin Yanmar 370hp diesel engines while enjoying easy handling from the well-appointed helm station on the flybridge. When it’s time to unwind, relax in the spacious comfort of this innovative fly bridge, which features an elevated sunbathing platform and large U-shaped seating and table to accommodate all your guests. Enjoy the modern conveniences of a built-in stainless steel electric grill, refrigerator, and wet bar all on the flybridge.

Below you’ll find a contemporary and roomy interior, centered around an open-concept main saloon with a panoramic 360-degree view of the surroundings.  The main salon has plenty of table space for entertaining your entire group. The fully outfitted galley is situated aft, and has perfect access to the aft sliding door to provide a perfect indoor-outdoor space for cooking and entertaining. Next to the central dining area is a navigation station and the unique forward salon door which opens onto a large forward cockpit, offering a great spot to lounge as you look out to the horizon.

Below the main deck, the hulls of the 514 house four beautiful full-sized cabins, each with queen beds. All four cabins have their own en-suite baths, each with a separate shower and electric heads, providing a comfortable retreat for all guests.  

On the stern sits an electric dinghy davit, which offers a low maintenance and convenient option to tow the dinghy raised out of the water while underderway and provide for easy launching and access to the water when stopped. 

Virgin Charter Yachts 

Virgin Charter Yachts is a private charter company that has specialized in offering motor yachts and power catamarans for charter in the British Virgin Islands since 1996.    Our company offers a personally curated fleet of only ~25 luxury yachts for charter, and this allows us to provide extensive preventative maintenance to our yachts so they show more like private yachts rather than the typical ‘charter boats’ seen at the big companies that have 300+ yachts to maintain.  

The primary benefit to charter yacht ownership is that by offering your yacht for charter, you can generate charter income that in most cases, offsets all the annual costs of ownership.  Rather than paying your monthly dockage, insurance, power/water, maintenance etc. out-of-pocket, the revenue you make from charters covers these monthly bills for you.  In addition to charter revenue, there are huge financial opportunities for tax benefits and bonus depreciation, that are available when you offer your yacht for charter. 

Part of the appeal of yacht ownership with Virgin Charter Yachts is we provide a hassle-free ownership experience. With more than two decades of charter yacht experience, we coordinate all aspects of ownership so the only thing you need to worry about is when you want to come down and enjoy time aboard Ida Cat!! We take care of coordinating everything related to yacht ownership and chartering; insurance, dockage, maintenance, reservations, crew, booking calendars, marketing, parts ordering, polishing schedules etc. It is truly WORRY-FREE yacht ownership!  Since we are a boutique company, we intentionally limit our fleet to ~25 yachts, in order to offer the highest quality service to our customers and owners and to keep our yachts impeccably maintained.  As an owner, you are able to use your yacht as many weeks a year as you would like – we have no restrictions on owner usage!
