In comparison to other Leopard catamarans, the volume below deck has been increased. Although the Leopard catamaran comes with a certain amount of standard storage, the owners of this catamaran created innovative supplemental storage, optimizing unused open spaces. Additionally, all hanging closets have shelves, which significantly increases storage space.
This boat is comfortable, private, and well-ventilated with bug screens for both the front and rear lounges, which include a separate set of no-see-um screens. The atmosphere is enhanced by natural light provided by the enlarged hull windows, portlights, skylight, deck flush hatches, and full enclosure with useful back screens.
Designed for a modern, full time on the water lifestyle, the Leopard 45 features a raised helm station covered by a hardtop Bimini with direct access from the cockpit and side deck. All sailing lines conveniently lead to accessible winches with rope clutches for easy sail management and sailing pleasure. The electric primary winches are operated by 2 footswitches.
The exterior styling has evolved into a sharper, more angular look, topped by a sleek new saloon hard top, which extends from the aft cockpit to the forward cockpit. Spacious, practical, and protected from the sun, the aft deck offers the perfect entertainment area with plenty of seating and a clear natural breeze through the open plan saloon, which is available via the weather tight, front door. The forward cockpit provides access to the fore deck, anchor, and trampoline, which augments safety by avoiding the need to go out along the port or starboard deck. The large front door allows for superior ventilation, which also comes with screens to protect from bugs.

Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,
Jurgen
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.
What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.
Awesome company that worked as my brokerage on purchasing out FP catamaran. A special shoutout to Will Miller for walking us through the process
The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
