Boat Description
Hawksnest is a 2020 Leopard 43 Powercat that offers the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and practicality for Caribbean cruising and beyond. Designed by naval architects Simonis Voogd and built by Robertson and Caine, this power catamaran delivers the kind of offshore capability, onboard space, and self-sufficiency that experienced cruisers demand. Presently undergoing phase out under the supervision of an independent private management firm.
Performance
With a cruising speed of approximately 17 knots and a top speed nearing 24 knots, the Leopard 43 Powercat is renowned for its fuel efficiency and comfortable ride in open seas. Powered by twin Yanmar 320HP diesel engines, she offers a range of over 300 nautical miles at cruising speed, making inter-island passages throughout the Caribbean both economical and enjoyable. Her wide beam and twin-hull stability provide a safe, dry ride and expansive deck spaces without compromising maneuverability.
Layout and Maintenance
Hawksnest features the sought-after 3-cabin, 2-head owner's layout, with a luxurious full-length owner's suite to port. Her light use in charter (limited mostly to the COVID-affected period) means she has seen far less wear than many of her peers, and she has been professionally maintained throughout.
Off-Grid Capabilities
One of the standout features of this vessel is her excellent suitability for off-grid, liveaboard cruising. Equipped with a powerful 9kW Northern Lights generator, Victron inverter, solar panels, and an onboard watermaker, she can comfortably support extended stays away from marinas. Whether anchored in remote bays of the Grenadines or cruising through the Exumas, Hawksnest is fully outfitted to meet the needs of independent cruisers.
Flybridge and Interior
The flybridge is a social and functional highlight, complete with a second helm station, ample seating, a dining table, and even an electric grill - perfect for enjoying sunsets with a view. Inside, her spacious saloon and galley are designed with long-term comfort in mind, offering everything from full-size refrigeration to ample pantry storage and natural ventilation.
Value Proposition
With proven systems, solid build quality, and a reputation for reliability, this Leopard 43 Powercat is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a turn-key platform for island-hopping, liveaboard life, or private charter operations. She's available now and represents one of the best values on the market.
