A rare opportunity to secure a proven Leopard 43 catamaran at essentially vessel-only value, with the added benefit of an established charter-favourite already in place.
Currently operating in the Fraser Coast / K'gari region, the vessel has demonstrated annual gross revenue up to approximately $130,000 per year under commercial use. For buyers seeking lifestyle ownership with the ability to offset holding costs, the existing operation provides a significant advantage over purchasing a private vessel and starting from scratch.
The vessel is being offered transparently and priced accordingly, with upcoming cosmetic and maintenance items reflected in the asking price, including:
rigging updates
exterior paint / coating refresh
A unique opportunity for: private owners wanting to substantially reduce ownership costs, buyers wanting immediate commercial capability and liveaboard or cruising buyers who value optional income generation
Highlights:
Proven commercial charter history
Established operational systems
Existing market presence and brand recognition
Spacious, highly regarded cruising platform
One of the most sought-after production catamarans in this size range
The current operation can continue under management/operator arrangement if desired, allowing a future owner flexibility between private use, or passive ownership.
An excellent opportunity to purchase a respected cruising catamaran where the vessel value stands on its own -- with the commercial operation effectively helping offset ownership costs moving forward.
Serious enquiries welcome.
