Moorings 4700 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Moorings 4700, constructed by the esteemed South African shipyard Robertson & Caine, represents a landmark era in the evolution of the cruising catamaran. Designed by the renowned firm Simonis Voogd Design, the 4700 was commissioned specifically as a flagship for The Moorings’ global charter fleet. While it is technically the charter-branded version of the Leopard 47, the 4700 designation specifically denotes the heavy-duty, four-cabin configuration that dominated the Caribbean and Mediterranean charter markets in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It is a vessel defined by its robust construction, characterized by vacuum-bonded hulls and a reputation for enduring extreme tropical conditions. Unlike many modern cats that prioritize "condo-maran" volume at the expense of seaworthiness, the 4700 maintains a balanced profile with high bridge deck clearance, a feature intended to minimize the rhythmic slamming common in following seas.
