2024 Multipower Buyer's Guide

50 to 60 feet

Aboard a multipower of 50 to 60 feet in length, we’re getting into a world of great comfort on the water - a quality of life that is little different from our life ashore. Unrestricted energy and an XXL payload form a big part of this... As for the length of the hulls, this ensures seakindly behavior, even in heavy weather. The large capacity of the tanks allows for lengthy passagemaking, sometimes ocean crossings - provided that the throttles are not pushed too hard.

EUPHORIE 51

Inviting you to go further

Read the boat test

The objective for builder Privilège and architect Marc Lombard was to design a power version of the very successful Série 5. The bet paid off, as the elegant Euphorie 5 has irreproachable seakeeping qualities and a luxury level of comfort. With the exception of a few details, notably in the cockpit, this powercat is now taking over the deck plan of the Privilège Signature 510. The layout is unchanged: the gigantic owner’s cabin still occupies the full width of the central rostrum. As usual in the Privilège world, customization is possible and high-end quality is present in every detail. A real invitation to head off further afield!

LEOPARD 53 PC

A clear effort in terms of design

First presented at the 2020 Miami Boat Show, the 53 PC replaced the Leopard 51 PC launched back in 2013. This boat features real motoryacht lines, with a solid foredeck, pronounced topsides and an impressively sized flybridge. A very clear effort has been made in terms of design: the coachroof is visually lighter than on previous models. Inside, moving around is easy: a wide central passage connects the aft cockpit to the foredeck saloon - accessible thanks to the famous front door, dear to Leopard. Outside, there’s no shortage of space for relaxation, and access to the sea and the dinghy has been given priority. Off Fort Lauderdale, our test demonstrated the good handling of the 53 PC and her speed possibilities – up to 22 knots. As for range, this can reach 1,995 nautical miles at 6.8 knots using just one engine.
