About Bareboat Catamaran Leopard 40
The Leopard 40 is a dual-cabin sailing catamaran offering straightforward bareboat charter in Southeast Asia's most coveted waters. Based in Phuket, this Robertson and Caine design accommodates up to eight guests across four double cabins, making her well-suited for small groups or families seeking independent exploration of the Andaman archipelago.
What arrives with the yacht is practical and well-considered. Expect a bimini top for tropical sun, snorkelling gear for the shallow reefs, and a tender with outboard for exploring secluded anchorages. Bed linen, towels, and all equipment are included. What you bring is your sailing experience and your crew (unless you elect to hire a skipper or hostess separately).
Bareboat charters require at least one qualified skipper among your group. Should you prefer a hands-off approach, professional crew is available by arrangement. The charter runs from 17:00 on day one through 11:00 on the final day, giving you seven full days minimum to navigate the limestone karsts and hidden lagoons between Malaysia and Thailand.
Highlights
- •Spacious catamaran hull with four double cabins and dual heads
- •Included snorkelling kit and tender for reef exploration
- •Flexible crewing options, from fully independent to professionally skippered
- •Discounted rates for extended charters (5–15% off for bookings exceeding two weeks)
The Charter Experience
Phuket's sheltered waters and reliable trade winds make the Andaman Sea an accessible sailing ground even for moderate experience. From your base, work north to the Phi Phi islands or south into Malaysian waters near Langkawi, where national park anchorages and isolated beach camps reward early arrivals. The season runs November through April, when conditions are most stable and visibility is exceptional for diving and snorkelling.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin with an evening departure from Phuket, anchoring in Phang Nga Bay's protected waters before pushing north. Day three takes you through the Phi Phi channel to pristine reefs; days four and five offer a leisurely passage towards Langkawi, with stops at Panak Island and the limestone cliffs of Tarutao National Park. Return legs allow time for final snorkelling and provisioning before your midmorning departure on day seven.
