Catamaran Brokerage is pleased to present this 2016 Leopard 44, now available in Sint Maarten, Caribbean—an excellent opportunity for private cruising or charter ownership with income and personal use.
This well-equipped catamaran is currently operating in a high-end day charter fleet and has been meticulously maintained by her professional captain-owner. Originally purchased after her initial phase in charter, she’s now part of a select fleet of five pampered sailing catamarans managed by a reputable charter company in Sint Maarten.
The new owner can step aboard and begin cruising immediately—or continue with the successful charter program. For those planning to sail only a few weeks or months per year, the yacht can remain in the fleet, generating approximately $40,000 USD per year of income and personal use.
The charter company handles all operations, maintenance, and management, while the owner enjoys stress-free usage of the boat whenever desired. Bookings can be easily switched to sister yachts in the fleet to accommodate owner availability.
Whether you choose to live aboard full-time with family and friends or leave the maintenance and dockage to the well-known charter company while receiving monthly revenue, the choice is yours.

Factory comments:
One of the many intriguing features this yacht offers is the forward cockpit with direct access from the saloon. While a forward cockpit is conventional on the modern cruising catamaran, the Leopard 44 distinctively offers an integral hardtop bimini, protecting the forward and aft cockpit, while also creating a comfortable outdoor living space.
The Leopard 44’s sailing performance and ease of handling has earned her multiple awards. All running rigging runs aft to the standard electric winch allowing this yacht to be sailed from the comfort and safety of the protected helm station with double helm seat and hardtop bimini.

Notes on History:
The boat was previously in a charter fleet in the BVI and sustained some damage during Hurricane Irma in 2017. The mast broke into two pieces but did not fall on the deck or lifelines. A new mast and standing rigging were replaced in 2020.
Minor damage on the transom was repaired with fiberglass.
In 2018, due to a defective rudder bearing, the port engine room was flooded with seawater, damaging the port engine. The port engine was replaced with a brand-new Yanmar 2019 model in 2020.
