This stunning Leopard PC53 power catamaran was built in 2021 and has spent most of her life with very little private use in Florida, preserving her exceptional condition.

This galley-up, 3-cabin owner's version maximizes luxury and space and the 53PC has almost 40% more usable space than the previous model the 51PC. The expansive starboard aft owner's cabin features a generous 2 sink bathroom and a huge separate shower. The fly bridge is a sight to behold, offering panoramic views, ample lounge areas, a protected helm, sun lounge, BBQ grill, ice maker, beverage fridge and a dining table that seats 8.
The upgraded Yanmar LV-8 370 engines sit in oversized engine rooms with giant hatches which make for open air access and expansive room. The Yanmar 9LV common rail engines have developed a reputation for fuel economy, low maintenance, and reliability.
The yacht comes with wireless Yacht Controller, and an electric bow thruster to tame difficult docking situations. Both the lower and the flybridge helms are protected and out of the elements for total comfort on longer cruises. The well engineered configuration and the catamaran hull make this boat very efficient at displacement speeds easily getting 3 miles per gallon and a range of 1680 nautical miles at 1400 rpm. High displacement cruise is 8.5 knots or you can bring her up in plane to make time at up to 23 knots.
With a fresh water capacity of 185 US gallons) and a 26 US Gal/h) watermaker on board, this vessel is perfectly suited for long term cruising , combining power, efficiency, and ample tankage.
Onward was recently hauled in Florida for bottom prep and two coats of BioGuard bottom paint. All running gear was coated with PropSpeed. Props were tuned, and new cutlass bearings installed. The top sides have always been protected with ceramic coating. There has been strict adherence to maintenance interval’s.
Onward is largely self sufficient for power thanks to over 3,200. watts of solar and a large bank of lithium batteries controlled by Victron. The Northern Lights generator has low hours as a result. If the sun shines, you may never need to run the generator except for the BBQ Grill or the house air conditioner.
Whether on the expansive flybridge, on the comfortable foredeck, in the large cockpit, or inside in the salon the useable living space is more than some boats twice the size. Storage to match.
