Leopard 48 Private Boat Share Syndicate - 2015-2019 Model

3-4 Owner Arrangement (Self-Managed)

- Want Leopard ownership without the full costs? We're forming a private, owner-run syndicate for a 2015-2019 Leopard 48, based in Manly Harbour, QLD with a seasonal relocation to the Whitsundays each year.

Leopard 48 (2015-2019 model year)
- Spacious 4 cabin, 4 head layout or the Owner's Version (3 cabins + larger owner's suite) - to be chosen by group consensus
- Bluewater-capable and well-equipped for extended coastal cruising
- Final purchase to be agreed by all syndicate members

Ownership & Costs
- 3-4 equal owners, depending on interest and usage needs
- Buy-in cost per share: approx. $250K-$300K (based on market pricing for Leopard 48s)
- A working float fund will be established at purchase to cover initial running costs and maintenance reserves
- All ongoing costs split equally between owners
- Approximate Monthly Costs:
* 3 owners -> ~$1,250-$1,450 per month each
* 4 owners -> ~$950-$1,150 per month each
- This covers insurance, marina, maintenance, antifoul, detailing, and a Whitsundays delivery trip each year. A float fund is established at purchase to ensure smooth operation and cover reserves.

Self-managed syndicate - no management company fees
- Full cost transparency: insurance, marina, maintenance, and reserves shared openly

Management & Experience
- Syndicate managed directly by the owners
- Backed by experience: previously owned and managed a Lagoon 380 for over 10 years
- Proven track record handling maintenance, deliveries, and seasonal relocations
- Practical knowledge to keep standards high and costs controlled

Usage & Availability
- 11 months available each year (~335 days)
- 3 months in the Whitsundays (June-August)
- 8 months based at Manly Harbour, Brisbane
- 28 days reserved for delivery trips + annual maintenance

Per owner allocation:
- 3 owners -> ~112 days/year
- 4 owners -> ~84 days/year
- Online booking system for fair allocation, holiday rotation, and standby use

Fairness & Flexibility
- Holiday periods rotated annually between owners
- Online booking tool for easy reservations, swaps, and standby use
- Delivery trips shared between owners who wish to participate

4-Year Term
- The syndicate will run as a 4-year arrangement
- At the end of the term, owners can decide to:
* Sell the vessel and split proceeds,
* Renew the syndicate, or
- Buy/sell shares if members change
- Owners may also exit earlier by selling their share (subject to group approval of the new partner)

Why This Works
- Leopard lifestyle at a fraction of full ownership cost
- Transparent, owner-run syndicate with no hidden fees
- Experienced catamaran owners managing the process
- Annual Whitsundays access without charter rates
