Leopard Catamarans for Charter
John Robertson and Jerry Caine started building in the Cape Town suburb of Woodstock in 1991, working on racing yachts and one-offs, which is where the composite expertise came from. The partnership with The Moorings began in 1995, the first order of eight catamarans followed in 1996, and the Leopard brand was established in 1997. A hundred boats went to The Moorings in the first four years alone.

About the shipyard
That origin is the whole point. These are designed with charter operation as the primary use case rather than an afterthought: forgiving handling, symmetrical cabin layouts, systems built to survive a new crew every week.
And they are properly proven before anyone charters one. Boats are tested in the notoriously rough water off Cape Town, then delivered to the Caribbean on their own keels rather than on a ship. One point of confusion worth settling: this yard has no connection to the Italian Leopard motor yachts, despite the shared name.

Leopard Catamarans: common questions
- How many Leopard Catamarans can I charter?
- We currently list 24 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 sizes of Leopard Catamarans does Boatcrowd list?
- They run from 11m to 53m. 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.
- What does a week of Leopard Catamarans charter cost?
- As an indicative guide, the median weekly rate across the Leopard Catamarans fleet we list is $24,500, a base rate before APA and tax. Size, season and where you board move it most, so a broker prices the whole week for your dates.
- Where is the Leopard Catamarans fleet based?
- The Leopard Catamarans yachts we list are based mainly in these countries, most common first: Thailand (6 yachts), Seychelles (3 yachts), British Virgin Islands (2 yachts), Croatia (2 yachts). Many cruise well beyond their home port, so tell us the waters you have in mind and a broker will check what is close.
