The 3-cabin layout features two guest cabins in the port hull, both containing en-suite heads and shower spaces.

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.

We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.
It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
