M/Y Onward
A 2021 Leopard 53-footer on the market through the YATCO MLS.
"Onward" is a 2021 Leopard 53' power catamaran offered for sale at $1,350,000, lying Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Power catamarans are the fastest-growing hull form in the US brokerage market - stability without stabilizers, shallow draft, and volume no monohull matches - and South Florida is where the deepest cat inventory trades.
Power is twin LV 8, 370 hp each, showing 1,400 hours. She cruises around 17 knots and tops out near 24 knots, carrying 562 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 3 staterooms.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus sells the category himself - his central listings include the Invincible 40 Catamaran - and he spent 20+ years as a professional captain in the waters most cat buyers plan to use. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

How much does the 53' Leopard "Onward" cost?

Who is selling "Onward"?
"Onward" is offered by its listing brokerage through the YATCO MLS. Greg Gaus of Double G Yacht Sales represents you, the buyer: independent advice on price, survey attendance, and negotiation, paid from the existing listing commission - never by you.
What does it cost to run a 53-foot power catamaran?
Plan on roughly 8 to 12 percent of the purchase price per year for an owner-operated 53-footer - fuel, insurance, dockage, and routine maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this boat before you offer.
Where can I see "Onward"?
She is lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 17 knots, top speed about 24 knots and 562 gallons of fuel with twin LV 8, 370 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
