Leopard Catamarans is proud to be part of the Travelopia group, which is solidly backed by the KKR fund and is a firm that can boast 28 billion dollars in investments. As global travel experts, Travelopia employs 2,000 people across 26 brands, bringing unique travel experiences to more than 500,000 customers in over 150 destinations every year.
Robertson &Caine, a South African shipyard specializing in ocean-going multihulls, was founded in 1991 by John Robertson and Jerry Caine. Since 1995, Robertson & Caine has enjoyed a close partnership with yacht charter company The Moorings, which was joined soon after by Sunsail, both members of the Travelopia group. The idea was soon born to launch a version specifically for private owners so that they too could benefit from the exceptional qualities of these catamarans. These qualities have been validated both by their long transatlantic passages and by their intensive use. The Leopard brand was established in 1997 and has enjoyed exponential success ever since.
Today, Leopard catamarans are recognized the world over not only for their remarkable design by naval architects Simonis & Voogd Yacht Design, but above all for their reliability, comfort and sea-keeping performance. We have achieved this high level of quality thanks to the cumulative experience of thousands of owners and charterers. In a little over thirty years, we have developed 26 different models as part of this unique partnership, building a total of more than 2,900 sailing and power catamarans.
In Cape Town, the cradle of multihull sailing in the Southern Hemisphere, close to 200 employees put their all into building top-quality catamarans that meet the most stringent international standards. As global leaders in the sector, The Moorings and Sunsail enjoy exclusive production rights for the charter market. Leopard catamarans are available to private owners.
We are present in the United States, Europe and South Africa, of course, but also in Asia and Oceania. Our teams can therefore offer the most appropriate solution for every situation, from full ownership under the Leopard brand, to charter management/leasing programs with exceptional, guaranteed benefits with Sunsail or The Moorings.
In all cases, owners and charterers benefit from the unrivaled reliability, comfort and performance of Leopard catamarans. This explains why they are highly sought-after models on the second-hand market, for which our in-house brokerage service exists to accompany clients, both for the Leopard brand and for multihulls sailing under The Moorings
or Sunsail flags.
Evolving from 50 years of customer feedback, Leopard Catamarans has pooled their expertise with builders Robertson and Caine to design today’s Leopard range: spacious, robust, performance-driven blue water cruising catamarans.
