Laura Marie
48′ Leopard Cat
Set sail with a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and performance, designed for an unforgettable charter getaway. With a spacious 50′ LOA and 25′ beam, Laura Marie offers more room than many larger yachts, providing the ideal space for entertaining or relaxing in style.
The heated, fully enclosed helm and aft cockpit allow for year-round sailing in comfort. With all sail lines routed into the helm, electric winches and a 12″ Raymarine chart plotter make single-handing the yacht a breeze. The expansive main salon and sunroom-like forward cockpit and roomy aft cockpit provide perfect places to unwind and enjoy the surrounding beauty, rain or shine. Below deck, memory foam toppers ensure a restful night’s sleep for up to 8 guests in four cabins, all with private en suite heads and showers.
Laura Marie has a major electrical upgrade, with large Lithium-Ion house batteries, a 5kW solar array and giant 7 kW alternators which create energy independence. It’s unlikely you will ever need to plug into shore power or start the ship’s 9kW generator, saving the time and trouble messing with shore cables. And – no more generator noise!
An LCD display (Cerbo) panel has also been added to show the status of everything very clearly, so no more guessing about where the power is coming from or where it’s going to. With a 10,000-watt inverter, you will have ample power throughout your voyage. Enjoy the convenience of a very generous 264 gallons of freshwater storage*, an ice maker, five refrigerators, and extra cooking appliances, like an InstantPot and Air fryer. For entertainment, the yacht features a 32” Smart TV, Starlink WiFi, 6-speaker stereo system, and over 100 DVD movies for relaxing evenings onboard.
Explore the islands with the 13’ Highfield SP390 tender and two 2-person inflatable kayaks, while the yacht’s Viking 8-man life raft and onboard safety equipment ensure peace of mind.
Whether you’re seeking a thrilling sailing adventure or a relaxing retreat, Laura Marie offers everything you need for a luxurious, worry-free charter experience.
*A 400 gallon/day water maker is available for long trips to remote places, such as Alaska.
