Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the ARNO LEOPARD31 Openfor exactly what it does best: fast, confident island-hopping and day entertaining. In Mediterranean and Florida charters it’s a familiar sight running quick legs between anchorages, with a planing GRP hull and triple MTU 12V2000s on Kamewa/Rolls‑Royce waterjets delivering an advertised 28–34‑knot cruise and around 36–40 knots at the top, depending on equipment and refit. The shallow draft (about 1.19–1.22 m) opens up skinny-water bays, and the waterjets are praised for strong acceleration and responsive high‑speed handling.
On board, the layout is oriented to guests: four cabins with a full‑beam master, a spacious salon, large fore/aft sunpads and a tender garage. Many brokerage examples show retractable salon roofs and large glass doors, which keep the main deck bright and social. Interiors draw positive reactions—one forum voice put it simply: “I love their interiors!”—and numerous refit listings highlight refreshed upholstery, new teak and upgraded marble bathrooms. Many later refits also add active stabilizers to improve comfort at rest and in waves.
Running costs reflect the performance brief. The triple MTUs and waterjets benefit from specialist technicians and scheduled, often costly, service. Several listings note a spacious engine room with excellent access, yet owners still face common‑rail fuel/injector work and jet pump servicing that require OEM diagnostics and parts. Waterjet care typically includes monitoring pump wear/erosion, cavitation checks, seals/plunger rebuilds, and routine filter/strainer maintenance—preventive programs are strongly advised to avoid expensive repairs.
Pros and Cons
- Waterjet propulsion provides strong acceleration and responsive handling at high speeds.
- Shallow draft (~1.19–1.22 m) allows access to more sheltered, shallow anchorages.
- Entertaining‑focused four‑cabin layout with full‑beam master, large salon, sunpads and a tender garage; many boats feature a retractable salon roof.
- Triple MTU 12V2000 and Kamewa/Rolls‑Royce jets require specialist technicians and can be costly to maintain.
- Comfort improves notably on refit boats with added stabilizers; earlier setups can feel lively at rest or in chop.
- Waterjets demand vigilant preventive care (cavitation, pump wear, seals) to avoid expensive repairs.
