Leopard Catamaran Deliveries from Raiatea Charter Fleets
French Polynesia has become one of the world’s most popular places to buy a second-hand Leopard catamaran. Every year, ex-charter yachts leave fleets operated by companies such as The Moorings and other major charter operators, beginning a new life with private owners from around the world. One of the first challenges after completing the purchase is getting the yacht safely to its new cruising grounds.
Yacht Delivery Solutions has completed numerous Leopard catamaran deliveries from Raiatea following charter fleet sales. Having an established network in French Polynesia allows us to assist owners from the time the yacht leaves the charter base through to delivery at its new destination. We regularly relocate Leopard catamarans from Raiatea to Fiji, New Caledonia, Hawaii, Australia and other Pacific cruising destinations.
Buying an ex-charter yacht is often excellent value, but the delivery should never be treated as a simple handover sail. Before departure we carry out a detailed inspection of the yacht, identifying maintenance items, checking engines, rigging, steering systems, electrical equipment and safety gear before planning the offshore passage. Many owners appreciate having an experienced skipper onboard for the yacht’s first major voyage, particularly while they become familiar with the boat’s systems and handling characteristics.
Leopard catamarans have earned a strong reputation as capable offshore cruising yachts and are well suited to Pacific passagemaking. Having delivered numerous Leopard 40s, Leopard 44s, Leopard 45s and Leopard 46s, we’re familiar with the design, onboard systems and the practical considerations involved in preparing these yachts for long offshore passages.
No two deliveries are identical. Some owners join us for part of the voyage to gain offshore experience on their new yacht, while others prefer a complete delivery to their chosen destination. Whatever the arrangement, our focus remains the same—protect the yacht, manage the passage professionally and hand the vessel over ready for its next cruising season.
If you’re purchasing a Leopard catamaran from The Moorings or another charter operator in Raiatea, Yacht Delivery Solutions can manage the delivery from French Polynesia to destinations throughout the South Pacific. With extensive experience relocating ex-charter catamarans and an established local network, we provide a professional catamaran delivery service that allows owners to begin enjoying their yacht with confidence.
