2005 Leopard 43, 299.000 USD

SpyHop II is a 2005 Leopard 43 catamaran, four-cabin version, US documented and currently lying in Grenada. She is turnkey ready, extensively upgraded, and set up for serious blue-water cruising. Built by Robertson and Caine, the Leopard 43 is well regarded for its balance of comfort and performance. Unlike many newer charter-focused designs, this model was built with offshore capability in mind and carries an Ocean Class A rating. Designed by Simonis and Voogd, the Leopard 43 combines strength, safety, and handling with generous interior volume.

SpyHop II has been continually maintained and improved by knowledgeable owners. Major systems have been upgraded in recent years, making her ideal for long-term liveaboard use and off-grid cruising. She has upgraded power and water systems to support independent cruising.

Electronics and navigation systems have been updated, and comfort on board is supported by air conditioning and upgraded galley and refrigeration systems.

Sail handling is straightforward with a recently replaced mainsail and a good-condition headsail with a protective cover. All standing rigging was replaced in 2024 and running rigging has been renewed as needed. The mast and boom remain original and sound. Steering and deck gear have been maintained and upgraded.

The yacht is powered by twin engines that have been carefully serviced, with major maintenance completed in 2025. She features straight shaft drives rather than saildrives, offering reliability and reduced maintenance.

Accommodation is a four-cabin, four-head layout. Three heads remain in place while the fourth has been converted into a laundry room, easily reversible if desired. One cabin has been adapted for storage, giving added flexibility for liveaboard use. The saloon and cockpit are spacious, with upgraded upholstery, shades, and lighting. Wide transom steps and sugar scoops allow for easy boarding, swimming, and diving.

Safety equipment is current, and the yacht is well supplied with spares, tools, and extras that add real value for a buyer planning extended cruising.

SpyHop II has been hauled and serviced regularly, with new antifouling and bottom work most recently in 2025. The hulls, rig, machinery, and systems have all been kept current, leaving nothing for a new owner to catch up on.

This is a rare opportunity to step aboard a Leopard 43 that is already prepared for blue-water passages and comfortable Caribbean cruising. SpyHop II combines proven design, recent upgrades, and diligent maintenance in a package that is ready to sail away.
