PURPOSE-BUILT FOR THE BAHAMAS
Blue Crest is not simply another Leopard 53 Powercat. She was custom specified by a highly experienced owner with a clear objective: create an exceptional owner-operated power catamaran for cruising the Bahamas while retaining the space, amenities and versatility that also make the Leopard 53 attractive within the established luxury charter markets of the Bahamas and Caribbean.
That purpose is evident throughout her build.
Blue Crest was ordered with approximately $424,000 in factory-selected options, including the desirable three-stateroom owner’s configuration, internal lower helm, bow thruster, 12kW Northern Lights generator, chilled-water air conditioning, upgraded electrical system, tender lifting platform, extensive composite teak decking, washer/dryer, dishwasher, flybridge refrigeration and icemaker, dive-tank storage and numerous cruising-oriented upgrades. Her signed factory option sheet documents a total purchase price after rebate of $1,445,560 before tax.
Following delivery, the owner continued developing the boat rather than simply accepting the standard electronics package. A substantial custom installation added Garmin navigation, 25kW open-array radar, Panoptix forward-looking sonar, AIS, multiple cameras, upgraded Fusion and JL Audio entertainment, Starlink infrastructure and eight Lumitec Typhoon full-spectrum underwater lights. The principal Marine Installations invoice documents $125,965 in equipment and installation before sales tax.
With only approximately 500 engine hours, Blue Crest presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a Leopard 53 whose equipment and configuration reflect the priorities of an experienced owner who understood how the boat would actually be used.
