Description
The Leopard 48 Ambiramus is an exceptionally well-maintained and comprehensively equipped cruising catamaran that combines comfort, safety, and outstanding sailing performance. Built by the renowned South African shipyard Robertson and Caine, the Leopard 48 remains one of the most sought-after bluewater catamarans in her class. She is widely respected for her robust construction, spacious living areas, and excellent suitability for long-distance cruising as well as comfortable life aboard.
Over the past several years, Ambiramus has been meticulously maintained, continuously upgraded, and extensively modernised by her current owner. Significant investments in technology, onboard comfort, and energy independence have transformed her into a truly turnkey cruising catamaran for discerning sailors. Having cruised extensively throughout the Greek islands, the owner has consistently prioritised reliability, safety, and high-quality equipment. As a result, Ambiramus is presented in a condition that clearly exceeds that of many comparable yachts of the same age.
Stepping aboard, the spacious cockpit immediately demonstrates why the Leopard 48 is so highly regarded among long-distance cruisers. The generous outdoor living areas provide ample space for family and guests, while the seamless integration of the cockpit, saloon, and deck creates an open, airy atmosphere that makes life on board exceptionally comfortable. The elevated helm station offers excellent visibility in all directions, ensuring confident handling both under sail and during harbour manoeuvres.
Inside, the bright and welcoming saloon benefits from large panoramic windows that flood the interior with natural light while providing outstanding visibility. The well-designed galley is both practical and spacious, offering generous work surfaces and abundant storage. The cabins are equally impressive, featuring comfortable dimensions, excellent ventilation, and ample storage throughout.
Technically, the yacht has been extensively upgraded to meet the demands of modern offshore cruising. Comprehensive improvements to the electrical system, energy management, navigation equipment, and onboard comfort ensure a high degree of independence and reliability at sea. The carefully selected systems allow for extended periods away from marinas, making Ambiramus particularly attractive to bluewater cruisers seeking true self-sufficiency. At the same time, great emphasis has been placed on user-friendly operation and dependable engineering.
Under sail, the Leopard 48 displays all the qualities for which this model has become renowned: impressive stability, balanced sailing characteristics, and comfortable passage-making even on extended offshore voyages. Her proven design makes her equally well suited to experienced bluewater sailors, families, and owners embarking on their first serious cruising adventures.
The Leopard 48 Ambiramus combines the proven quality of Robertson and Caine with extensive modernisation and an exceptionally comprehensive specification, creating a package that is rarely found on today’s market. She represents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a fully prepared cruising yacht that is ready to depart immediately, without the need for significant further investment.
Ambiramus is currently located in Greece and will be sailed to Bar, Montenegro, at the end of August. Viewings can be arranged flexibly by appointment at any time.
Our broker's comment

During our sea trial in Greece, we had ideal sailing conditions with a fresh breeze, giving us the opportunity to get a very good impression of the Leopard 48 under sail. I was genuinely surprised by her sailing performance. Considering the generous living space, wide hulls and extensive cruising equipment on board, she points noticeably better to windward than many production cruising catamarans I have sailed.
The boat accelerates quickly, feels balanced at the helm and maintains good average speeds without demanding much effort from the crew. In my experience, many cruising catamarans focus primarily on comfort at anchor and under power, often at the expense of sailing performance. The Leopard 48 strikes a much better balance. She combines the spaciousness and comfort expected from a modern cruising catamaran with sailing characteristics that make passages genuinely enjoyable.
Another aspect that stood out was the level of equipment. It is immediately apparent that the current owner has invested significantly in the yacht and prepared her for serious long-distance cruising. From a broker’s perspective, there is very little left to wish for. Whether for extended Mediterranean cruising or a circumnavigation, this Leopard 48 is exceptionally well equipped and ready to go.
