Onboard entertaining is enhanced with ample dining space and forward-facing L-shaped seating that communicates directly with the galley. Wide sliding saloon doors provide panoramic views towards the stern, allowing the interior saloon to flow naturally to the outside aft and forward cockpit.
The boat is filled with natural light during the day and illuminated by subtle hidden lighting after sunset, with individual spotlights highlighting certain areas.
Designed for a modern blue water lifestyle, the Leopard 45 features a raised helm station covered by a hardtop bimini, with direct access from the cockpit and side deck. All sailing lines lead to easily accessible winches, with primary winches being electric and operated by footswitches.
