About

New listing ! 2015 Leopard 48   

3/3 owners version 

Superbly equipped

Blue water ready 

Low hours

Broker comments: This Leopard 48 was custom ordered with pretty much all available factory options, then fitted with after-market equipment, and over the years since launch she was constantly upgraded and updated as necessary. Maintained with an open check book, and superbly outfitted. Just 2 owners since new. 

Under 600 engine hours, low hours on generator, washer / dryer,  center console RIB with 25HP  Yamaha, 3kW solar, 1340 A Lithium batteries, in-boom furler, electric genoa furler, bow sprit and code 0, folding props, recent bottom job, Rocna anchor & spare anchor, water-maker, washer/dryer, custom storage in salon and much much more! 

More broker's comments: The Leopard 48 has become classic in the world of cruising catamarans, and the 'owners version' is very much sought after. The L48 is one of the first Leopard models to feature the forward door / cockpit for ease of access and salon ventilation. The Leopard 48 is known for ease of maintenance, great storage and sailing speed. Not many people know that the Leopard 48 still holds the Leopard record for the passage time from Cape town to Fort Lauderdale, back in 2014 one of the first hulls had an average speed of just over 8 knots over 9,000 miles! This particular Leopard 48 is one of the best I have seen in a while and represents excellent value for money.

Yacht Broker Micheal Streng did a fantastic job helping us buy our dream retirement boat. He is pleasant, professional, smart, diligent, and totally focused toward ensuring the best outcome for us- his clients.

He helped us identify the key features we wanted. And, helped us then learn the market by seeing firsthand seeing all the boats available. How? By organizing a two day driving extravaganza to see as many boats available from dawn to dusk.

But, his crucial expert assistance continued throughout the whole buying process… helping us craft multiple offers and counter offers to ensure we “bought-right”!

His expertise continued with calmly helping us organize the multitude of details, from sourcing survey experts and renegotiating credits for issues… to ensuring our foreign manufactured vessel had duty paid receipts… thus all saving us much aggravation and thousands of dollars!

In closing, sourcing and buying a boat right has adventurous elements of the “wild-west”. Our Broker – Micheal Streng was our LoneRanger & Tonto… expertly guiding and helping us to help make our dream a reality.

We purchased a Lagoon 470 catamaran through Zvonimir (Zee) Kalinic, TMC’s broker in Croatia and Italy. Zee is the ultimate professional and by far the best broker we have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Thankyou Zee for your professionalism, guidance and support in securing this purchase for our family! Not an easy task being Australian and purchasing in a foreign country but thanks to your help and the assistance of Andrew Holland in the office, this process was made so much more stress free.
Thank you Zee and The Multihull Compnay!

Andrew Hodgdon was a pleasure to have as a broker. He was always there for me and I appreciated his help and professionalism. Thank you Andrew!! Highly recommended.

— Bill Gardner

Just wish to share our thanks with Cal Landau and The Multihull Company for their service selling our catamaran that we owned for nearly 15yrs. Cal our broker in West Palm Beach was THE BEST!
He worked with us beyond the call of duty in helping us prep and moor our boat during some horrendous weather that came through last Winter and always offered to lend a hand while we were in West Palm procuring supplies. etc. Cal was always present to show the boat, learned about our boat systems to answer questions from shoppers and made a very informative listing with great photos and video that attracted a lot of action. I wish to highly recommend Cal and The Multihull Co if you’re planning on putting your boat on the market.

The entire company was committed to my satisfaction as a seller. Andrew the broker went out of his way to help me prepare the boat for sale and in just 3 weeks we had it under contract. I had to be away from the country but Andrew the broker and Andrew (same name) the Chief Operating Officer walked me through all the paperwork needed and kept me informed at every stage of the sale. Boat owners don’t remain without a boat for long, if this is the case for me, I will certainly contact Andrew and the Multihull Company to be my broker.
