About

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.

It gets no better than The Multihull Company. I’ve watched their great videos for years. When it was time to sell my catamaran, there were no other brokerages in consideration. THEY ARE THE CATAMARAN MARKET LEADERS!! Captain Will Miller has taken the company to the top level. They had an interested buyer prior to my listing going live. I was under contract the first week. The Multihull Company is an impressive organization.
