Meet Michael Winberg
Leopard Catamaran Specialist
Florida Gulf Coast, Caribbean & Global Cruising Markets
Michael Winberg is a Leopard Catamaran Broker based in Clearwater, Florida, with a sailing background shaped by extensive time spent cruising some of the world’s most well-known destinations. Through years of hands-on experience aboard chartered yachts, he has developed a practical understanding of how catamarans perform across a wide range of conditions and itineraries.

A Global Perspective from Time on the Water
Michael’s sailing experience comes from repeatedly immersing himself in real cruising environments — from the Caribbean to more remote destinations in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. That time onboard, across different boats and locations, has given him a clear understanding of how catamarans function beyond the dock, including layout, livability, handling, and day-to-day usability.
Having spent significant time aboard charter catamarans in a range of cruising environments, Michael understands how different models perform over time and how they translate from fleet use into private ownership.
Focused on the Leopard Catamaran Market
At Leopard Brokerage, Michael works exclusively within the Leopard Catamaran space, helping clients navigate model differences, ownership history, and overall market positioning. Whether working with buyers or sellers, he focuses on clear, practical guidance grounded in firsthand experience.
Through Leopard Brokerage, his clients also benefit from access to model-specific insight and technical background tied to Robertson & Caine — providing an added layer of confidence when evaluating or listing a yacht.
Florida-Based, Globally Oriented
Operating from Florida’s Gulf Coast, Michael supports transactions throughout Florida and the Caribbean, while also working with clients purchasing or selling in international cruising destinations. He regularly assists with the logistics of remote transactions, helping coordinate key steps from initial evaluation through closing.

My family and I are extremely satisfied with our experience working with Michael Winberg at The Moorings Brokerage. From the very beginning, Michael provided outstanding support throughout the purchase of our boat. He was always responsive to questions, offered clear and accurate information, and demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the product — something that is not always the case in this industry. What stood out most was Michael’s professionalism and transparency. He consistently provided honest answers and built a genuine, trust-based relationship with us. This made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Michael, together with his team and sales manager, ensured everything was handled properly from start to finish.
