EXCELLENCE   -   KNOWLEDGE   -   REACH   -   SALES SUPPORT   -   MARKETING

 

Our brokers have been selling Leopard catamarans since the brand was born in the 1990s.

With their vast experience and acute understanding of the market, they can provide an accurate valuation of your boat or a boat your are interested in purchasing. In addition, they can help you navigate through the intricacies of the used boat buying process, especially when it comes to international purchases that can sometimes be required due to the historically small supply of used Leopard Catamarans on the market. 

Our intimate knowledge of the Leopard Brand and the global catamaran market provide sellers with the peace of mind that we can sell your yacht quickly.

Product Knowledge

As the exclusive dealer worldwide, every single new Leopard Catamaran that has been built by Robertson & Caine was sold by us. Sales agents within our business have been with Leopard since the inception.  The only catamaran brand that they sell is Leopard. Our team of brokers are not only experts of the Leopard product but have also forged strong relationships with Leopard owners globally.  As the exclusive dealer, we speak with owners and buyers about our product every day.

 

Experience

With a globally connected, Leopard-focused team we have sold more Leopard Catamarans than any other brokerage, both new and used. We have sold 100's of preowned Leopards listed on LeopardBrokerage.com. This is not including the 1000’s of pre-owned Leopard Catamarans sold by our team that have come out of the charter fleets of The Moorings and Sunsail.

 

Sales Support

We do our homework so you don’t have to. Our sales team studies a detailed market analysis of recent Leopard Catamaran sales and market trends. We use this knowledge to establish a fair asking price relative to today’s market. We are able to offer a trade evaluation on your current Leopard if you are interested in purchasing a new Leopard. We will support you through the entire sales process and handle the transaction from start to finish. We organize the survey/ sea trial and haul out and supervise the entire event. Your presence will not be required. We know many qualified captains and will coordinate the process. We are able to recommend third parties for all facets from documentation to survey to repairs/ maintenance and delivery of the vessel.

 

Global Support

With over 20 global charter bases through our sister companies, The Moorings and Sunsail, as well as dedicated Leopard Catamarans regional sales and support offices located in the United States, Mediterannean, and Asia, owner's of both new and used Leopards purchased through our brokerage office have access to our team no matter what part of the world you are cruising.

 

Robertson and Caine

Unique to any other brokerage, we are able to access technical information and history through Robertson and Caine, in addition to the Leopard Service Department. We have very active communication with Robertson and Caine, and full access to their technical team. If we need to get a question answered quickly, or if we need urgent upgrade advice in order to make a sale, we can achieve this better than anyone else. Our relationship with the factory is unrivaled. Any parts that need to be special ordered can be done easily through us. Considering we are the exclusive dealer of Leopard Catamarans, we can advise surveyors and clients on how the boat is built and designed, unlike any other brokerage who is not privy to that information. The information we house can make or break a deal.
