Owner Experience Review
Owners, charter crews, and brokers consistently describe the 47 PowerCatfromLeopard Catamaransas a versatile platform: widely used in Moorings/Sunsail fleets, comfortable for family coastal and island‑hopping cruising, and viable for longer liveaboard passages thanks to noted tankage and range. On board, the galley‑up saloon, panoramic windows, and generous cockpit make entertaining easy, and storage earns “feel of a Tardis!” remarks. Layouts commonly cited include a 3‑cabin owners’ version with a spacious master and a 4‑cabin charter setup, both with good headroom and ample lockers.
On the water, reported cruise sits around 15–17 knots, with higher‑power installations pushing into the low‑20‑knot range. Some broker/test write‑ups quote fuel use “2–3 GPH” at that cruise, but figures depend on installation and conditions. Handling notes are generally positive: a stable, level platform at anchor, comfortable downwind, with good helm visibility and easy operation in calm to moderate seas. A recurring owner warning is to mind bridgedeck clearance, as low clearance can mean slamming in a chop.
Maintenance feedback centers on balsa‑cored GRP hulls/decks—buyers are advised to inspect around deck hardware for moisture or core issues. Typical powerplants cited include Yanmar, Volvo D4‑260, and earlier Cummins options, and several brokerage listings note repowers or rebuilt engines over time. Owners/brokers also call out practical care items: liferaft‑locker integrity, occasional electrical/refrigeration anecdotes, the bridgedeck‑slamming noise in certain conditions, and one forum report of fittings/doors breaking and feeling unsafe.
