This is not a typical Leopard 45 - it's a thoughtfully engineered, self-sufficient cruising platform built for serious liveaboard comfort and extended off-grid autonomy. Over the past two years the vessel has undergone an extensive modernization focused on reliability, efficiency, and eliminating dependence on shore power, propane, and marinas. The result is a quiet, solar-powered cruising catamaran capable of anchoring for weeks at a time with residential-level convenience.
At the heart of the system is a massive 2,160Ah lithium battery bank paired with 4,300 watts of solar mounted on a custom stainless arch with extendable panels, dual Victron Quattro inverter/chargers, and a complete Victron monitoring and distribution network. Every major onboard system - air conditioning, refrigeration, watermaker, cooking, and electronics - is designed to operate cleanly and efficiently from battery and solar. Soft-start technology across the boat keeps loads smooth and silent, while Starlink provides reliable connectivity from remote anchorages.
The galley has been converted to modern electric living with upgraded Isotherm refrigeration, filtered water, and an electric cooking solution. Comfort upgrades include new air-conditioning units, filtered showers, upgraded lighting, and improved tank monitoring. Navigation and safety systems feature new radar, AIS, and updated charting. Recent mechanical servicing, fresh bottom paint, serviced saildrives, new props, and upcoming engine service mean the next owner steps aboard a vessel that is both turnkey and mechanically current.
For adventure, the boat comes equipped with a nearly new Highfield tender and Honda outboard, full dive setup, snorkeling gear, fishing equipment, security system, and extensive spares inventory - making her ready for immediate cruising without additional outfitting.
This Leopard 45 is ideal for buyers seeking a modern electric-leaning cruising lifestyle: quiet anchorages, minimal generator use, and true independence without sacrificing comfort. Simply provision, cast off, and go.
