Produced by Robertson and Caine under the Leopard Catamarans brand, the 44 was engineered for durability and long-range passage-making. Its wide beam, four-cabin symmetrical layout, and robust construction made it a benchmark in the 40–45 foot performance cruising catamaran segment. Hulls from this model are well-regarded for their structural integrity, and the model's large charter fleet history means parts, service, and owner knowledge are widely available worldwide. The Leopard 44 is a serious offshore capable vessel with comfortable liveaboard accommodations.</strong></p><p><strong class="ql-size-large" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent;">This particular 2012 Leopard 44 has been comprehensively refit over 2024 and 2025, representing a turn-key bluewater cruiser. The most significant investment was a full re-power in 2024 with new Yanmar 4JH45 engines and SD-60 sail drives, paired with Flexifold props, eliminating the highest-cost risk associated with any used catamaran purchase. New standing rigging, updated electronics, a rebuilt sail plan, and a full lithium battery bank with solar round out the systems upgrades. The vessel is currently cruising the Bahamas. and is expected to return to St. Augustine, Florida by May 28th. A buyer can take delivery of a genuinely ready-to-cruise yacht without the time and expense of a refit. <em>Island Time&nbsp;</em>is DUTY PAID and the 7501 statement will transfer with the sale.</strong></p><p><span class="ql-size-large" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">T</span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent;" class="ql-size-large">his boat is open to co-brokerage.

Both engines are new Yanmar 4JH45 units rated at 45hp each, mated to SD-60 sail drives. Flexifold folding propellers were fitted at the same time, improving sailing performance by reducing drag under sail. Hours on both engines are low post re-power. New rudder bearings were also installed in 2024. The windlass was removed, serviced, reinstalled with a new mounting plate in 2025, and a spare windlass motor is included with the boat.

The most expensive and consequential work, re-power, standing rigging, lithium battery system, and electronics, has been completed within the past two years by reputable marine professionals. The vessel is actively cruising rather than sitting in a slip, which speaks to its operational readiness. Saildrive service and bottom paint were completed in January 2026. Interested buyers are encouraged to arrange a sea trial and survey at the earliest opportunity upon the vessel's return to Florida in late Spring 2026.
