CHANGES IN LATITUDES Yacht Description
-
Dual Sea Scooters for 2 guests:
Premium water scooters perfect for fun underwater exploration and exciting snorkeling adventures. -
Two Stand-Up Paddleboards:
Great for relaxed island exploring or active family fun paddling coastal waters together. -
Large 13' 30hp dinghy for 10 guests:
Spacious tender ideal for beach runs, water sports launch, and island excursions with the whole group.
Front cockpit. Flybridge lounge. Two sea scooters. Game on. This new 2025 Leopard 50 catamaran is built around usable outdoor space: a forward cockpit directly off the salon for sunrise coffee and sunset drinks, plus a top-deck flybridge with 360° views, sunbed, dining table and shade. If your version of “vacation” includes actually being outside, this platform is engineered for it.
Inside, it’s a straight, functional layout: 4 queen en-suite cabins for up to 8 guests, each with its own electric head and stall shower, plus a bright salon that opens both forward and aft for natural airflow, or seals up under full A/C when you’ve had enough “nature.”
On the water, the package is deliberately simple but effective: tube, floating mats, 2 paddleboards, 2 sea scooters, snorkel gear and light trolling rods. No jet-ski circus, just clean, easy toys you’ll actually use. The captain is happy to walk you through sailing basics if you want to touch a sheet instead of just the cocktail glass.
The soft power move on this boat is the galley. Your chef runs a genuinely serious menu: from sushi spreads and teriyaki salmon to braai night, “death by chocolate,” tiramisu and pavlova, backed by a stocked ship’s bar with mainstream spirits, wines and beers. Translation: you’re not staring down mystery buffet trays for a week.
Add in reliable creature comforts—full air conditioning, generator, watermaker, salon TV/stereo, onboard Wi-Fi, BBQ and covered lounging areas—and this Leopard 50 is essentially a floating, low-drama base camp: modern build, smart outdoor design, strong food, and just enough toys to keep everyone off their phones without needing a operations manual.
Accommodation
4 x queen cabins each with en-suite bath with electric toilet and stall showers.Salon has lounge area, galley, nav station, formal dining area and door opening to front cockpit as well as aft deck.

Reviews
Gino and Nikita are first class hosts!!! The food, the service, and the hospitality are beyond what I could have expected! This was a vacation dreams are made of!! We will definitely be back!! I highly recommend this crew!
Tullie R.
Fabulous food, beautiful boat and the crew took care of every need we had.
We had a family of 6- they did themed nights, found great coves for snorkeling, we did a lot of fishing and even finished the charter with crew given awards.
5 ⭐️ experience!
Kim H
Gino made the experience so amazing with his fantastic attitude and optimism. He made such a great effort to make our experience first class and one of a kind, taking us to the most beautiful islands, coves, and beaches during our trip.
I’m leaving this trip gaining so many amazing memories and two new friends! Thank you so much Gino and Nikita! We love you guys!
Nicolas C
They are highly skilled in cooking and captaining and take care of their guests with pleasure and a positive attitude! Nikita went to great lengths all week to make sure our whole group was happy with our complex dietary restrictions and Gino did the same to make sure we were comfortable with the route. His sailing skills made us all feel at ease navigating us through the islands and taking us to all the beautiful spots! They are both an absolute joy to spend a week with! Thank you Nikita for the incredible FROM SCRATCH birthday cake for my mom!!!

To be honest, it wasn’t the boat.. it was all Gino and Nikita that made this trip special.
From Gino taking us to some breathtaking places and showing us reefs and islands, to Nikita’s stunning talent in the galley. I have truly never had better food prepared on a trip. Nikita’s talent is second to none, and I have traveled the world.
We WILL BE BACK!
Keeley B.
You delivered so much more.
Your grace and hospitality is top notch and you made us easily comfortable on our floating home for the week. And it felt like we all became a family which was the best part!
Captain Gino - we were all impressed with your maturity and master seamanship.
First Mate/Chef Nikita - what a chef and mixologist!!! You kept us well fed and full of rum, every meal a delight indeed.
You Two - are quite a pair and it was lovely to see how well you communicate with each other and work as a team. Well Done!!
Today is our last morning, last sunrise, last snorkel, last delish breakfast.... and we are so full of great memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for all that you did to make this week so so special.... Perfect!
Ben, Beth, Emma, Zoe, Andrew, and Ryan
Gino, you really impressed us with your skills and knowledge despite your age.
Nikita, I assumes the meals would be tasty, but they were delicious!! And so beautifully presented!
You both have such sweet spirits and you made our little last-minute getaway truly special
Thank you both!!
