2021 LEOPARD CATAMARANS 53' 1" for Sale in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
“Nautilus” is a Leopard 53 which is likely the best one on the market for liveaboard cruising. The owners are experienced cruisers and have set her up with an attractive array of upgrades.
It is not just the important self-sufficiency items such as a Watermaker and Dishwasher which set her apart but the many additional thoughtful conveniences which you will come to appreciate. Some good examples are custom-made bug screens for all portholes and doors, extra freezer, custom boarding ladder, a needed extra Touch screen display and a Lithium Battery Bank which multiplies capacity, reduces weight by 500lbs and couples with 2 DC-DC chargers.
The 53 model delivers increased space, lower draft and better fuel economy than other comparable boats. The reliable Yanmar engines with preferred Straight Shaft drives make her one of the best Owner/Operator boats for exploration cruising available. With no elongated shake-down period necessary, this well maintained boat is presented to you in turn-key condition and ready to cruise.

About Oaksmith Yachts
We know what it feels like to need to know what's past that next hill. To stare across an ocean and want to see what's out there. To wonder what's in that bay or on that island past that next point. To only have a day or a week to explore what should take months. We know what it's like to not be able to afford to let the weather stop you. We know what it feels like and we have a solution.
