How Did They Fit THIS Much Yacht Into a 50-Foot Hull? | Leopard 53 Full Tour

Step aboard the newly refreshed Leopard 53 Powercat in this complete YachtLens yacht tour from the Palm Beach International Boat Show. The Leopard 53 is a 53-foot power catamaran with a massive 25'2" beam, twin Yanmar 370 HP diesels, a full flybridge, lower helm, expansive salon and galley, generous accommodations and serious liveaboard cruising capability packed into a remarkably manageable footprint. In this Leopard 53 Powercat full tour, Franck Bauguil, SVP of Product Development & Yacht Ownership, takes us through the design and engineering behind one of Leopard Catamarans’ most successful power cats. We explore the redesigned aft cockpit and lifting platform, indoor-outdoor living space, galley and salon, lower helm, forward watertight door, owner and guest accommodations, construction, huge flybridge, docking controls, engine room and straight-shaft propulsion. Franck also explains why the usable volume aboard the Leopard 53 can feel comparable to a much larger 70- to 75-foot yacht. If you're researching a Leopard Catamaran, liveaboard power catamaran, owner-operated cruising yacht, bluewater catamaran, long-range cruising boat or serious motor catamaran, this walkthrough takes a detailed look at how the Leopard 53 actually works for an owner.
