Sea Way is the most well-equipped 4-Cabin Leopard 48 currently on the market.  Her current owners purchased the boat out of The Moorings Yacht charters in the lower Caribbean, well outside of the hurricane belt.  Upon taking delivery they used their experience working as a certified electrician and a finishing carpenter to outfit the boat for bluewater cruising.

She has suffered ZERO hurricane damage, lightning strikes, or any other major damage history.

The boat is currently at Shelter Bay Marina in Colon, Panama but can be delivered anywhere in the Caribean or Florida.
