2021 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 45 – SEABBATICAL
Asking Price: EURExcl VAT (EU VAT not paid )
Highly upgraded Owner’s Version, Light Oak Interior
Ready for true blue water cruising - Never Chartered, 3-cabins / 3-heads layout
Designed by Simonis & Voogd with interiors and exteriors from Robertson & Caine, the Leopard 45 combines sleek performance with remarkable comfort. The innovative lounge deck, forward cockpit, and well-protected helm station are signature features of the Leopard line, providing multiple entertainment and relaxation areas while keeping the yacht practical and safe at sea.
Broker's remark: SEABBATICAL has been the private home of her Swiss owners for the past four years, during which she has safely crossed the Atlantic twice and explored both sides of the ocean. She was carefully outfitted and continuously upgraded for serious offshore cruising, while being maintained in excellent condition throughout. This is very likely the best-equipped Leopard 45s currently on the market – ideal for a buyer seeking a fully prepared yacht to cross oceans or enjoy extended cruising in style and comfort.
Currently located in the Western Mediterranean, SEABBATICAL comes with a winter berth secured in Imperia, Italy – an excellent opportunity to enjoy a season (or more) in the Med before heading off to the Caribbean and beyond.
