Welcome aboard Leopard 45 catamaran Madiba. The Leopard 45 is a design that has been an unqualified success with discerning charter guests worldwide. It was voted 'Cruising Boat of the Year' when the design was launched.

Madiba sleeps up to six people in three double en suite cabins. She is an especially family-friendly yacht, and the South African crew enjoy having children aboard.

The elegantly proportioned and spacious saloon features an attractive beech-wood table for dining indoors. It's also a great place to play games, watch DVD's on the flat screen TV or just relax while reading a book.

The cockpit, the place you'll spend most of your time when in the glorious Caribbean, is extremely spacious. A great place to enjoy your cocktails and meals or to relax and listen to your favorite music while under sail or when at anchor. The bimini, a canvas cover with side flaps, ensures your comfort come rain or shine.

One of the main features making Madiba such a popular charter yacht is the spacious dive platform and easy-to-use swim steps and ladder. There is a fresh water shower conveniently located by the steps for rinsing off after your swim.

Up front we have the trampoline where many enjoy their happiest times, either sunbathing, reading, contemplating the stars or just 'chilling'. Some even claim it's the finest place on the boat to sleep!
