Yacht Description
Modern Leopard 50. SOMMER is a 2022 Leopard sailing catamaran at 50 feet, set up for easy, low-drama chartering with up to 6 guests.
Three equal cabins. She sleeps 6 in 3 queen suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Simple. Fair. Nobody draws the short straw.
Water time, sorted. A swim platform and outdoor shower make it painless to bounce between dips and deck life, and there is a BBQ for when “just one more swim” turns into lunch onboard.
Toys for active days. You get 4 stand up paddleboards, a 2-person kayak, a towable tube, floating lounge and mats, plus snorkeling gear (6 sets) and extras like a Subwing and Snuba to keep the water-focused guests busy.
Comfort and connectivity. Full air conditioning, Wi-Fi with Starlink, and salon TV with streaming (Amazon Prime and Netflix) cover the downtime, and there is even a gym onboard for anyone committed to bad decisions in the galley.
Broker Review
Onboard visit
Sommer is a lovely catamaran with a skilled crew at a fantastic price. The sunflower theme carries through the decor with a playful touch, and the Mediterranean-inspired food is full of local flavor. Captain Brandon is fantastic — a lifelong sailor who knows the islands inside out — and Chef Aiesha, from St. Thomas, brings genuine local influence to every meal.

Where do we start to describe the food? Quality for a five star Chef! Every meal was better than the last. Exceptional!
Captain Branden is a great guide to the sites into the fish snorkeling with him allowed us to see so many different fish. His attention to detail made us feel safe and catered to all our needs!
This trip competes with a six star resort!
~Sara, Tom, Grace, Amelia, Alan and Mimi

What a magical way to ring in the new year! This was the best trip ever! Branden and JJ took such great care of us. Every step was something new and exciting.

Well, we’ve cruised extensively all over the world. This was an experience and like any other. The intimacy and privacy of only one other couple and Brandon and Dow. Our crew was really special! The food was beyond delicious, huge portions, and lots of variety! Dad took pictures of all mills for our scrapbook and to share. Brandon was a great and safe Captain full of energy to accompany us as we explored! This is and felt like all owner excursions should provide a tour guide. If you wanted to swim, outcome all the toys if you wanted to get some exercise and explore, he knew every nook and clarity of each island. Both Dow and Brandon were engaging, but discreetly gave us as their guest time and space to ourselves. We always felt highly attended to, but not smothered definitel definitely 10 out of 10 all the way around.
Bruce and Leslie
Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha were amazing right from our first trip planning call - to boarding the yacht - to every meal - every excursion - all the water toys - and especially in just being down to earth good people who fit perfectly with our family. Being on a 2022 50’ Catamaran with all the updated equipment, systems, plumbing, facilities, A/C and other comforts was awesome. The queen size beds were comfy and we all slept well at night. Between the time we spent on the front lounging areas, top deck and back deck we never once sat inside and didn’t even turn on the TV all week! My wife and I woke up to coffee on the top deck in a different secluded cove every morning and we couldn’t keep the kids out of the water all day. Captain Brandon navigated us into some great spots and Chef Aiesha was masterful for the kids who didn’t want seafood at every meal but also wow’d the rest of us who were eager to taste her island specialties.
It was an unbelievable 5 STAR vacation that created memories that will last a lifetime!
Dan
From the moment our family stepped on the vessel, Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha made us feel at home. They were attentive to our needs and wants for meals, activities and ensuring our trip was full of lasting memories. The catamaran was clean, spacious from the point that there were many areas to enjoy the surrounding views and keep sight of my kids in the water, rays of sunshine, quiet spot for a good book and quiet and cool at night for a good rest.
We look forward to another opportunity to travel with Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha with not only our family, but our friends.
April
The boat itself was immaculate—pristine! The modern interior was beautifully designed and in perfect condition, offering both luxury and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully maintained, and the spacious layout made it easy to relax and enjoy the journey.
Captain Brandon was an absolute star. He was eager to make sure that everything was perfect for us, going above and beyond to accommodate and ensure we had a great time.
Having never been aboard a sailing catamaran like this it was was a dream come true. The combination of a beautiful, modern yacht and Captain Brandon’s outstanding service made this an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Sommer to anyone looking for a luxury sailing adventure.
