2026 Leopard Catamarans 46 PC, 2026 Leopard 46 Powercat
Elevated living, thrilling performance

The new Leopard 46 Powercat marries blue-water capability with penthouse-style comfort. Designed by Robertson & Caine in partnership with naval architects Simonis Voogd, this next-generation model stretches the boundaries of what a midsize cruising powercat can do—delivering head-turning style, impressive range, and the volume of a much larger yacht, all while remaining easy to handle for a cruising couple.

Key features

• 
  

• Expansive entertainment zones – extra-long flybridge with dual sun lounges, wet-bar, grill, and forward-facing helm; single-level connection to an oversized aft cockpit for unobstructed social flow.

• 
  

• Forward door & lounge – full-height watertight door from the saloon leads to a sunken forward cockpit with sun pads and settee, creating a true “bow terrace.”

• 
  

• Flexible interior layouts – choose a three-cabin owner’s version with a full-beam master suite (walk-in wardrobe, workspace, and large en-suite) or a four-cabin charter/guest layout, each cabin offering island berths, ample storage, and private heads with separate showers.

• 
  

• Performance diesel power – twin Yanmar 250 hp engines standard, or upgrade to 320 hp or 370 hp for top speeds up to 25 knots; efficient hulls give comfortable cruising around 16–17 knots and trans-oceanic range at displacement speeds.

• 
  

• Quiet, accessible machinery spaces – engines and generator are isolated aft in dedicated compartments for low noise and superb maintenance access.

•
