Over the past several years, Ambiramus has been meticulously maintained, continuously upgraded, and extensively modernised by her current owner. Significant investments in technology, onboard comfort, and energy independence have transformed her into a truly turnkey cruising catamaran for discerning sailors. Having cruised extensively throughout the Greek islands, the owner has consistently prioritised reliability, safety, and high-quality equipment. As a result, Ambiramus is presented in a condition that clearly exceeds that of many comparable yachts of the same age.
Stepping aboard, the spacious cockpit immediately demonstrates why the Leopard 48 is so highly regarded among long-distance cruisers. The generous outdoor living areas provide ample space for family and guests, while the seamless integration of the cockpit, saloon, and deck creates an open, airy atmosphere that makes life on board exceptionally comfortable. The elevated helm station offers excellent visibility in all directions, ensuring confident handling both under sail and during harbour manoeuvres.
Inside, the bright and welcoming saloon benefits from large panoramic windows that flood the interior with natural light while providing outstanding visibility. The well-designed galley is both practical and spacious, offering generous work surfaces and abundant storage. The cabins are equally impressive, featuring comfortable dimensions, excellent ventilation, and ample storage throughout.
Technically, the yacht has been extensively upgraded to meet the demands of modern offshore cruising. Comprehensive improvements to the electrical system, energy management, navigation equipment, and onboard comfort ensure a high degree of independence and reliability at sea. The carefully selected systems allow for extended periods away from marinas, making Ambiramus particularly attractive to bluewater cruisers seeking true self-sufficiency. At the same time, great emphasis has been placed on user-friendly operation and dependable engineering.
Under sail, the Leopard 48 displays all the qualities for which this model has become renowned: impressive stability, balanced sailing characteristics, and comfortable passage-making even on extended offshore voyages. Her proven design makes her equally well suited to experienced bluewater sailors, families, and owners embarking on their first serious cruising adventures.
The Leopard 48 Ambiramus combines the proven quality of Robertson and Caine with extensive modernisation and an exceptionally comprehensive specification, creating a package that is rarely found on today’s market. She represents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a fully prepared cruising yacht that is ready to depart immediately, without the need for significant further investment.
Ambiramus is currently located in Greece and will be sailed to Bar, Montenegro, at the end of August. Viewings can be arranged flexibly by appointment at any time.
