Leopard Catamarans Updates the 53 Powercat

Leopard Catamarans has announced an updated version of its 53 Powercat, the builder's flagship motor yacht. The revised model launched in December 2025 and made its first public appearance at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2026. Over 142 units of the outgoing 53PC have been delivered worldwide. The boat will be available to private owners and through The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program.

Aft Cockpit and Transom

The aft cockpit can be specified with either a modular "Alfresco" furniture package or a traditional fixed arrangement. The walk-through transom has been revised, and an optional electric lifting platform is available that functions as a tender station in the up position and a swim platform in the down position.

Flybridge

The flybridge has been reworked with a new seating layout that includes modular back cushions and updated fabric. The helm station has been redesigned for improved sightlines and ergonomics. A new wet bar/galley module adds an integrated sink, grill, and refrigeration.

Saloon and Galley

Inside, the saloon and galley have been restyled with new seating, updated finishes, and a more open layout connecting the galley, dining area, and lounge.

Engine Room and Noise

All major mechanical systems are now housed in a separate, sealed engine room, which Leopard says reduces engine noise and vibration transmitted into the living spaces.

Accommodations

The 53PC remains available in three- or four-cabin ensuite configurations. The owner's version includes a full private suite with an island bed and walk-in closet.
