The accommodation consists of 4 stateroom cabins and has been thoroughly overhauled to improve comfort levels and space. As with the Sunsail 404 the saloon/galley is reversed yet more natural light has been created to this specific model by adding an overhead skylight to the saloon, and by increasing the size of hull windows and port lights. At night, the interior is illuminated by subtle, hidden LED lighting throughout. The exterior styling has evolved into a sharper, more angular look, topped by a sleek new deck hardtop, which extends from aft cockpit to forward cockpit.

With versatility in mind, we bring to you the next generation of Leopard Catamarans, the Leopard 50. She has been designed to replace one of the best-selling Leopard Catamarans of all time, the award-winning Leopard 48.The Leopard 50 has the ideal layout for anyone looking for more outdoor living space as she comes equipped with a flybridge that includes a lounge area, table, sunbed and optional exterior speakers and shade awning. Access is provided by floating stairs leading up from the aft cockpit. An important distinction compared to similar sailboat flybridge configurations is that while under sail, passengers can move about the flybridge with ample headroom and never worry about interference from the boom. The flybridge is also situated to still maintain contact with the helm station, an important feature found on all Leopard Catamarans. The entire exterior styling of the Leopard 50 has also been revamped to give the hull a more sophisticated look. In addition to the exterior options, the interior offers multiple layout configuration with 4 or 5 cabins, and an extensive options list.
