Leopard Catamarans has confirmed an exciting premiere for the upcoming Sydney International On-Water Boat Show, taking place from 13–16 November 2025 at Cockle Bay Marina, Darling Harbour. For the first time in Australia, both the new Leopard 46 Sailing Catamaran and the Leopard 46 Powercat will be displayed side by side, offering boating enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience the brand’s latest innovations in one location.
As one of the world’s leading multihull specialists, Leopard has built a reputation for balancing performance, comfort, and innovation. The appearance of the 46 Sail and 46 Powercat together in Sydney underscores the versatility of Leopard’s current generation of design, giving prospective buyers and charter operators the chance to compare two very different but complementary approaches to life on the water.
The new Leopard 46 Sail builds on the success of the award-winning Leopard 45 while introducing enhancements aimed at delivering greater liveability and efficiency. Offshore capability remains central to the model’s DNA, but comfort and sustainability are given equal priority.
The 46 features a seamless connection between aft cockpit and saloon, creating open and flexible living spaces. The removal of the traditional skipper cabin allows for expanded accommodation choices, with layouts ranging from three cabins plus utility space, to four cabins, or even five double cabins, all complete with ensuite facilities.
Another standout feature is the optional Hybrid Electric Drive system, which combines electric propulsion, lithium-ion energy storage, and solar regeneration. This cutting-edge technology enables quieter motoring and reduced emissions, positioning the Leopard 46 among the most forward-thinking sailing catamarans on the market.
Designed for sailors who value both performance and lifestyle, the Leopard 46 ensures a natural flow between the cockpit, saloon, and forward lounge, while its interior flexibility makes it equally suitable for private ownership or charter operations.
For those who prefer cruising under power, the Leopard 46 Powercat offers an alternative that is as practical as it is luxurious. The design emphasises space and comfort, with a large flybridge, generous deck areas, and multiple cabin layouts. Perfect for entertaining, extended coastal cruising, or resort-style living afloat, the 46 Powercat reflects Leopard’s philosophy of maximising onboard enjoyment.
A particular highlight is the dedicated engine room, which is completely sealed off from the living spaces to minimise noise and vibration. Accessible via a large deck hatch and step ladder, the full-sized compartment houses all major systems with intuitive functionality, ensuring easy maintenance without disrupting life on board.
“It allows people to experience the best of both worlds — the thrill of performance sailing or the convenience and power of a luxury motor yacht — all from the same trusted Leopard platform.”
