Leopard 45 Catamarans for Sale
View ListingsUsed Leopard 45 catamarans for sale through Moorings Brokerage come from one of the most consistent sources on the market: the professionally managed charter fleets of The Moorings and Sunsail. Designed by Simonis Voogd and built by Robertson & Caine, the Leopard 45 pairs a forward cockpit with direct saloon access, excellent helm visibility, and a bright open-plan interior that works equally well for family cruising and entertaining at anchor. Every Leopard 45 in our inventory has run a structured maintenance schedule under professional base teams before entering the brokerage market, so you are buying a known history rather than an unknown one.
Browse pre-owned Leopard 45s available in the British Virgin Islands, Saint Lucia, the Bahamas, Belize, the Mediterranean, the Seychelles and other established cruising hubs — which means you can step aboard close to where you want to sail and skip a costly delivery. Listings include four- and five-cabin charter layouts, with detailed specifications, cabin and equipment information, photo galleries, and video or virtual tours where available, so you can shortlist quickly before arranging a viewing.
Our brokerage team guides you through every stage of the purchase: refining your search, arranging viewings, coordinating surveys and sea trials, and managing documentation and international closings. Because these yachts complete a detailed phase-out process on exit from charter, buyers get a transparent platform for survey, upgrade and refit planning. Browse the available Leopard 45s below, or contact a Moorings Brokerage specialist to discuss which year, layout and ownership history best match your cruising plans and budget.

Why Buy an Ex-Charter Leopard 45
A Leopard 45 that has come out of The Moorings or Sunsail fleet carries advantages a privately owned equivalent rarely matches.
- Documented maintenance history. Scheduled servicing by professional base technicians throughout the charter career, with records available for review.
- Structured phase-out. A detailed inspection and handover process before the yacht reaches the brokerage market, giving a clear baseline for survey.
- Cruise-ready location. Yachts lie in active cruising grounds, so you can take delivery where you intend to sail.
- Strong value. Ex-charter pricing typically sits below comparable privately owned Leopard 45s of the same year.
- Known build. The Leopard 45 has a long production run and a wide owner community, so parts, documentation and refit guidance are easy to find.

Layouts and Cabin Configurations
The Leopard 45 was built in two factory configurations, and yachts from The Moorings and Sunsail fleets are almost always the four-cabin charter version — which means more cabins and heads than a comparably priced owner’s boat.
- Four-cabin, four-head. The charter layout — two double cabins with en-suite heads in each hull. Ideal for families cruising with guests, or for owners planning to continue in charter management. Some listings are described as five-cabin where a forepeak berth is included.
- Three-cabin owner’s version. Gives the starboard hull over to a full owner’s suite, with extra storage and comfort for long stays aboard. Uncommon in ex-charter inventory, so worth moving quickly on when one appears.
- Converting to an owner’s feel. Many buyers repurpose a forward cabin as a workshop, office or storage without structural work.
Shared across all versions: the forward cockpit with direct saloon access, large sliding doors that connect the saloon to the aft cockpit, a raised helm station with clear sightlines, and walk-around decks. Yachts built from 2020 onward may also have the upper lounge: an additional social space above the cockpit, and one of the most sought-after features on later Leopard 45s.
