Leopard 50 Catamarans for Sale
View ListingsUsed Leopard 50 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 50 was the first Leopard sailing catamaran to make the upper lounge a core part of the design, pairing it with a forward cockpit that works as a genuine living space, twin 57 hp Yanmars and tankage for extended cruising. Every Leopard 50 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 50s available in the British Virgin Islands, Saint Lucia, the Bahamas, Saint Martin, 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 50s 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 50
A Leopard 50 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 well below comparable privately owned Leopard 50s of the same year — and at this size that gap is widest in absolute terms.
- Heavily specified from new. Charter-spec Leopard 50s leave the yard with generator, air conditioning, watermaker and full electronics already fitted, rather than as costly retrofits.

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 — wThe Leopard 50 was built in three factory configurations, and yachts from The Moorings and Sunsail fleets are usually the four- or five-cabin version — which means more cabins and heads than a comparably priced owner’s boat.
- Five-cabin, five-head. The full charter layout, with symmetrical accommodation across both hulls for maximum guest capacity. Ideal for owners planning to continue in charter management or cruising with extended family.
- Four-cabin, four-head. The most owner-friendly charter layout: a large owner’s stateroom with private access and extra storage, without losing the cabin count that protects resale. The sweet spot for most private buyers.
- Three-cabin plus utility. Gives a hull over to an owner-focused suite with the forward port space as a multipurpose utility room. 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 or utility space as a workshop, office or storage without structural work.
Shared across all versions: the upper lounge with direct communication to the helm, the forward cockpit as the primary gathering area with direct saloon access, a spacious saloon, separate staircase to the owner’s stateroom, and straightforward access to onboard systems. Four distinct living zones — flybridge, forward cockpit, aft cockpit and saloon — are what sets the 50 apart from smaller boats in the range.
