Owner Experience Review
Owners and charter operators describe the 23 HTbyARNO LEOPARDas a practical Med all‑rounder: three cabins with three heads plus a separate crew cabin make family overnights straightforward, while the spacious salon and galley support longer stays. It is frequently used for luxury day trips on the French Riviera, where charter feedback has been consistently high (a representative listing shows a 4.8/5 rating), reflecting strong guest comfort from the layout and amenities. Underway, the boat is reported to cruise around 26 knots with top speeds in the 30–32 knot range. Forum experts note thatARNO LEOPARDboats are usually more seaworthy and of stronger build, which aligns with the model’s reputation as a fast yet composed coastal cruiser. An owner remark highlights that it can be noisy underway and that the bow tends to stay low rather than rise significantly. Running costs are a recurring consideration: owners and forums warn of high annual expenses and possible large yard bills, with estimates around £50k per year cited for similar-size Italian sport yachts. Documented maintenance on listed boats includes turbine replacement, pump and injector overhauls, heat-exchanger service, A/C pump replacement, and new batteries. The model is commonly powered by twin MAN D2842LE406 V12 engines, and owners treat MAN overhauls and fuel-system servicing as major recurring items.
