Shipyard Italy est. 1973
Leopard Yacht Charter
Leopard launched in 1973 inside Cantiere Navale Arno, a Pisa yard whose own history runs back to 1907 as Giuseppe Picchiotti and Sons. It began in timber, moved to composite construction in the 1980s, and settled on a single obsessive brief: make a very large motor yacht go very fast.

About the shipyard
It worked. Leopards run to 46m and many will hold better than 30 knots, a figure most yachts over 30m still cannot approach. The profile that comes with it, long, low, almost flat from bow to stern, is unmistakable at a distance, and the yard has never been tempted to soften it.
One point of confusion worth settling: this yard has no connection whatsoever to Leopard Catamarans, the South African-built sailing multihulls that share the name. Different country, different builder, different kind of boat entirely.

Chartering a Leopard: common questions
- How many Leopard yachts can I charter?
- We currently list 11 of them available for charter, across 12 countries. Availability moves week to week, so ask us for live dates on any yacht that interests you.
- What size are the Leopard yachts on Boatcrowd?
- They run from 23m to 34m. Larger yachts carry more crew and more space per guest rather than simply more guests, so tell us your group size and we will point you at the right end of the range.
- Where is the Leopard fleet based?
- The Leopard yachts we list are based mainly in these countries, most common first: Italy (3 yachts), Spain (3 yachts), Australia (1 yacht), Croatia (1 yacht). Many cruise well beyond their home port, so tell us the waters you have in mind and a broker will check what is close.
- Is a Leopard the same as a Leopard catamaran?
- No. These are Italian open motor yachts built by Cantiere Navale Arno near Pisa. Leopard Catamarans are sailing multihulls built by Robertson & Caine in Cape Town. The two share a name and nothing else.
- How fast is a Leopard?
- Most models are capable of more than 30 knots, which is exceptional for a yacht of 30m or more. Actual cruising speed depends on load and sea state, and your broker can confirm the figures for a specific yacht.
