Island Time 2012 Leopard 44 Catamaran - PRICE REDUCTION4 Cabin / 4 Head | On the Hard For Hurricane Season - St. Augustine, FLMajor Refit & Re-Power Completed 2024–2025The Leopard 44 is one of the most proven bluewater cruising catamarans of its generation. 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.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.

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.
