Broker’s Remark
POLARIS has had the same owner since new in 2020 and has been part of The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program. This means she has been professionally maintained and has continuously followed a service system within one of the industry’s very best and most well-established yacht ownership programs.
She was carefully outfitted and continuously upgraded for serious offshore cruising, while being maintained in excellent condition throughout. This is very likely the best-equipped Leopard 45s currently on the market – ideal for a buyer seeking a fully prepared yacht to cross oceans or enjoy extended cruising in style and comfort.
The owners are currently enjoying a Mediterranean voyage, cruising from Italy toward the stunning shores of Sardinia and Corsica. The yacht’s winter berth is secured in Almerimar, in the sunny south of Spain.
A handover is envisaged for the end of September 2026, offering ample time for planning. That said, should a prospective buyer wish to take ownership sooner and continue the journey, an earlier handover could be considered in consultation with your broker.
