About
PRICE REDUCTION: Sweet Escape is a comprehensively equipped, serious and proven blue water cruising catamaran. OWNERS VERSION, NEVER CHARTERED, 2ND OWNER. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the best cats available, a 40' 3-cabin Leopard catamaran, with everything you need to go on an extended cruise!
Currently cruising with the second owners. The original owners returned to Florida in 2022 after completing a 15-year around-the-world voyage. This vessel is well-built, and a super safe Catamaran. She is easy to sail and comes equipped with everything you will need to go cruising now! NOTE:** While heading home to Florida, she stopped in Cape Town, S. Africa, and had a complete refit in 2020 at the factory. These older Leopards were built stronger than the new ones! You will not find a better-equipped 40' cat under $350,000! These boats are light and fast. The lighter weight allows her to ride easily over waves and her sharp bows and clean underwater profile cut cleanly as well as minimize drag. Visibility is excellent over the coach roof and a sliding hatch cover in the hard cockpit Bimini over the helm makes it easy to keep track of sail shape. The cockpit and salon include inside and outside cushions. Interior cushions have removable/washable covers.
The Galley is practical with large cabinets for storage and a flip-down countertop which facilitates the passage of food and drinks to the table in the cockpit. Dining accommodates eight people sitting comfortably, leaving free access to the cockpit. The cockpit transitions to the aft steps which aid with easy entry in/out of the water from swim ladder on the port side. The galley-up design incorporates a spacious saloon and aft-facing galley with a cocktail bar and serving window overlooking the cockpit. Accommodations include 3 double cabins, and two large heads with separate shower stalls.
The 3-cabin layout features an owner-dedicated starboard hull with master stateroom, office area and large head with separate walk-in shower forward, including a custom queen mattress (folding), an office area with long bookshelves, with the water maker in the forepeak. Cherry paneled finishes with solid trims are throughout. The entire Owner’s ˜wing” can be discreetly closed away, creating complete privacy and the luxurious feeling of being able to roam undisturbed while guests or children enjoy the rest of the boat. Guests will enjoy the large cockpit with an outside dining area, protected by a functional hard-top Bimini, fitted as standard, as well as a custom enclosure.
Guest accommodations (Port Hull) include 1 queen cabin with a custom mattress in the stern and a double cabin forward. In the port forepeak, there is a 1.9 cubic ft. chest freezer hard-wired into the electrical system. There is a head with a separate shower located mid-ship.

My wife and I worked with Andrew Hodgdon to sell our 2021 FP Elba 45. In addition to skillfully carrying out the traditional yacht broker responsibilities, Andrew went above-and-beyond to ensure that we were well-positioned to sell in a competitive market. For example, Andrew helped out with much-appreciated repairs and hurricane prep, among other things. Trustworthy, intelligent, and conscientious, Andrew’s communications with us and the buyer were always thoughtful and forward-thinking, and fairly represented our interests.
We really lucked out in connecting with The Multihull Company. We made a cold call to Cynthia Wummer, a Multihull Company broker and told her we wanted to buy a catamaran to cruise The Great Loop and experience the Bahamas. We particularly wanted a PDQ power catamaran. From our first contact she was so helpful and responsive. She immediately contacted a selling broker who represented a prospective seller. Because we are new to a bigger boat and boating on the ICW, Cynthia assisted us through the entire process. She is a captain which was an added bonus to the process; she knew all the right questions to ask the selling broker as well as the surveyor. She drove 3 hours to be present during the survey, she developed a good relationship with the selling broker, she called and checked in with us regularly, was very enthusiastic about our purchase, and answered all our questions. We could not have done it without her. The Multlihull Company support team, Andrew Holland and Courtney Greider, were so helpful in the closing process: the paperwork was easy to complete and communication was smooth and timely. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Multihull Company and Cynthia to anyone who is the market for a boat large or small. Thank you!!!!
Multihull Company has succeeded again. This is my second time using their services and they are extremely professional and honest. Working with their brokers and their administrative team was easy. Communication occurred at every level and constructive advise was always given. They know this business inside and out and acted as my fiduciary in every way. I will use them again for their service and knowledge.
Great to deal with and very patient in our questions. They were able to find us the perfect vessel for our needs.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
