Accommodation
Cherry wood laminate finishes and a solid wood trim line the interior of the Leopard 48, providing both beauty and practicality. The spacious interior dining area can seat up to 8 guests comfortably and the dining table can be converted to an optional double berth or coffee table. With the option of a 3 or 4 cabin layout, the large cabins in the Leopard 48 set a new standard in comfort. Each interior design offers both comfort and practicality.
Austrian Walnut laminate flooring and cherry finishes with solid wood articulated trim give a luxurious feeling inside the hulls, and all heads are ensuite with separate stall showers. The starboard hull is entirely dedicated to the owner's suite in the 3 cabin layout. The walk around center line queen sized bed allows for easy side access. With a comfortable couch, or optional storage unit, there is plenty of storage space in the passage way. The large master head features a stall shower with bench and a dedicated locker for a washer / dryer.
The guest cabins are well ventilated, offer excellent lighting, and storage space. Both guest cabins feature en-suite heads with stall showers, toilet and wash basin.
Galley
The open galley with Corian counter tops and standard stainless steel appliances blends effortlessly into the salon, forward cockpit and aft-cockpit. The galley has deep side by side double sinks, Vitrifrigo two drawer front opening fridge and freezer and a Force 10 gas range with three burner stove top and oven / broiler. Extensive counter-top space includes a raised bar and separate prep station above the fridge / freezer, making the galley the social hub of the yacht.

Deck Gear
Just like the award winning Leopard 44, the Leopard 48 features the innovative forward cockpit with direct access to the saloon and fore deck. Aft cockpit, saloon / galley and forward cockpit are all on the same level, making it very easy to move around the yacht while at anchor or at sea. The continuous hard top provides a stable platform for access to the mast and boom, and can accommodate a large array of solar panels.
The clear and uncluttered deck layout of the Leopard 48 is emphasized by the recessed deck hatches. The sleek Leopard lines are easily recognized by the large teardrop shaped saloon and hull side windows, giving this yacht a very modern look and a source of organic light in the saloon and cabins.
