Three powercats cover distinct cruising needs
The official Leopard display will include the 40 PC, 46 PC and 53 PC, giving visitors three steps through the company’s power-catamaran range. Each remains comfortably inside Luxury Yacht Guide’s sub-24-metre coverage while offering the wide beam and interior volume that attract owners to twin-hull cruising.
Showing the boats together matters because differences in scale are easier to judge in person than from plans or photographs. Buyers can compare circulation, cabin volume, helm arrangements and outdoor living areas while keeping the same basic Leopard design philosophy and cruising brief.
The 40 PC starts the ownership ladder
The Leopard 40 PC is the most compact of the trio and is aimed at owners who want multihull space without moving immediately into a larger, more complicated yacht. Its size can make marina handling and private operation more approachable while still providing the separation of living zones associated with a catamaran.
At the other end, the 53 PC offers substantially more accommodation and social space for longer-range programmes. The 46 PC sits between them, giving Leopard a progression that lets buyers trade additional volume against purchase cost, berth requirements and the practical demands of managing a larger vessel.
Powercat efficiency is part of the comparison
Power catamarans use two slender hulls rather than one broad monohull, which can create a different balance between interior volume, stability and fuel efficiency. The exact result depends on loading, engines and operating speed, but the architecture gives owners an alternative route to space without simply adding overall length.
Fort Lauderdale is especially relevant for this type of yacht because South Florida is both a major sales centre and a gateway to Bahamas cruising. Shallow-water access, large outdoor areas and long periods living aboard are all common priorities among buyers considering a power catamaran in the region.
FLIBS offers direct side-by-side evaluation
Leopard describes the 2026 show as a chance to compare the entire Powercat line in one location and speak directly with its North American team. The company is encouraging advance appointments so visitors can spend dedicated time aboard each model rather than relying on a brief walk-through.
For Luxury Yacht Guide readers, the three-boat display provides a useful snapshot of how far production powercats have moved into the luxury-yacht market. The category now competes directly with conventional motor yachts on finish and comfort while retaining the distinctive space and stability advantages of a twin-hull platform.
