2020 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 45 Crewed – Lost Horizons II
Builder's Remarks: We are pleased to announce that the Leopard 45 has been awarded 2017 Boat of the Year by Cruising World Magazine. This marks the 7th Cruising World Boat of the Year win by Leopard. This year’s award was in the newly created Best Charter Catamaran category proving that South African Builders, Robertson and Caine, have perfected the art of not only creating the perfect boat but one that is perfectly suited for the charter industry as well.
The judging was done by a team of three independent industry experts, who conducted thorough dockside inspections and then carried out sea trials. The Leopard 45 proved to be the leader of the pack in all areas of the judging. What stood out in particular was her performance and innovation. Additionally, the judges were impressed by the amount of space provided by the forward cockpit, which is connected to the saloon through a translucent door. Another area of interest to the judges was the main saloon, which hosts a forward facing galley and dinette. The judges also noted that visibility through the Leopard 45 is excellent.
Broker's Remarks: "Lost Horizons II" anytime we get a CREWED listing of the Leopard 45, it gets all the attention, and for good reason. Here you have a yacht that has only ever been under the care and custody of a professional crew (never bareboated), so this comes with perks of condition and features. From first impressions you see the glorious teak on the transoms, cockpit and forward cockpit, which is an eye wateringly expensive factory upgrade. Also, being a 2020 model, plus the crewed version, why is it priced like a 2019 Bareboat? The reason is simple. This yacht just completed a full refit, and we have the survey used for the refit AND the follow up survey, showing that the team did all and more. Both are available to anyone who wants to see them. Oh and did we mention that this yacht also comes with a full sized RIB dinghy, water toys and a water maker? Seems too good to be true, right.. Its real, and its going to sell fast, as it can be sailed away this Jan 2026!
Availability: Completed full refit, with follow up survey done. Available now.
