2023 LEOPARD 53 POWERCAT — MASTER CONCEPT 3
MASTER CONCEPT 3 is an exceptionally well-equipped 2023 Leopard 53 Powercat, thoughtfully upgraded for comfortable owner-operated cruising, extended time aboard, and entertaining family and friends.
Originally ordered with an extensive list of extra factory options, she has continued to receive meaningful upgrades under her current ownership, including a Lithium battery system, six 470-watt Solar panels with MPPT Charge Controller, upgraded protective hull Rubrail, removable turquoise hull wrap, Starlink, Watermaker, Yacht Controller, and more.
She has also recently completed her annual maintenance and received a fresh bottom job, presenting as a well-prepared cruising package.
The Leopard 53 Powercat combines the interior volume and stability that make power catamarans so appealing with relatively shallow draft and efficient performance. Her twin Yanmar 370 HP diesels with conventional straight-shaft propulsion provide a simple, proven drivetrain particularly well suited to extended cruising.
MASTER CONCEPT 3 is the desirable three-stateroom Owner’s Version, with the entire starboard hull dedicated to the owner’s suite and two private guest staterooms to port.

The aft cockpit provides an unusually generous entertaining area, with a solid wood dining table, seating for six or more, and substantial storage beneath the fixed seating. Immediately aft, the hydraulic tender platform provides convenient tender storage as well as easy access to the water.
The flybridge is one of the standout entertaining spaces aboard MASTER CONCEPT 3. More than simply an upper helm, it functions as a second outdoor salon, with generous seating, a large dining area, and an outdoor galley equipped with a refrigerator, ice maker and electric grill. It is a natural gathering place underway or at anchor and allows the captain to remain part of the conversation rather than being separated from family and guests.
A particularly useful addition is the Isinglass Flybridge Enclosure, which significantly extends the usability of this space. On cooler days or when conditions become windy or wet, the flybridge can be enclosed to provide excellent shelter and protection. When the weather is good, the enclosure opens up to restore the open-air experience that makes the flybridge such an enjoyable social area.
Inside, the main salon benefits from excellent headroom, panoramic windows and abundant natural light. The galley is designed for genuine cruising use, while the aftermarket electric blinds provide additional privacy and convenience. A complete lower helm provides a protected alternative to the flybridge, and the forward salon door leads directly to the foredeck lounging area.
The three-stateroom Owner’s Version is particularly well suited to extended cruising. The entire starboard hull becomes a private owner’s suite, while two separate guest staterooms to port provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends without sacrificing the owner’s privacy.
What distinguishes MASTER CONCEPT 3 is that many of her upgrades are practical rather than merely cosmetic. The combination of lithium batteries and approximately 2.8 kW of solar substantially improves the boat’s ability to operate away from shore power when air-conditioning is not required. The added rubrail provides additional protection around docks and pilings, while the removable turquoise wrap gives the boat her distinctive appearance while helping preserve the original finish beneath.
With her shallow draft, straight-shaft propulsion, substantial living and entertaining spaces, Owner’s Version layout, and extensive cruising upgrades, MASTER CONCEPT 3 offers an appealing combination of comfort, capability and independence for an owner who wants to spend meaningful time aboard.
For someone looking for a late-model Leopard 53 that has already been extensively optioned, upgraded and prepared for extended cruising, MASTER CONCEPT 3 deserves serious consideration.
The Multihull Company is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel though the vessel may be listed with another brokerage company.

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

More About MultihullAnswer a few quick questions for your number. Every answer is saved to your Buyer Profile, so every boat on the site is priced for you.
A TMC buyer's broker will send line-by-line costs, what to check at survey, and how this boat compares with others that fit your plan.
Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region. Not a survey, a quote or the listing broker's representation, and not a substitute for a professional marine survey. Verify all equipment and condition through a survey before you buy. Delivery, freight and financing figures are estimates; your broker confirms them.
