Leopard 37 Power Catamaran Arrives Charleston as Deck Freight for Commissioning

A newly built Leopard 37 power catamaran, constructed by Robertson & Caine, arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, on February 24, 2026 as deck freight and was offloaded for American commissioning. The boat reached port as secured deck cargo and was received by Charleston-based service personnel who will handle the handover and initial systems checks.

Local service teams in Charleston began intake procedures immediately after the vessel came ashore. The delivery is being processed as part of American commissioning, which includes final acceptance work before the catamaran is placed into operational status for the U.S. market. A local delivery report, published during the last week of February 2026, documents the arrival and notes the Lexington-style logistics involved in receiving deck freight like this Leopard 37.

Robertson & Caine is identified as the builder on the paperwork accompanying the Leopard 37 power catamaran. The model designation and builder were listed on the cargo manifest and on the arrival notice that Charleston service crews used to schedule their commissioning work. Because the boat arrived as deck freight rather than on a roll-on carrier, technicians planned for platform access and lifting points rather than conventional trailer preparation.

The February 24 arrival puts commissioning work on a tight calendar for local teams. With the delivery report issued late in the month, Charleston service crews have a narrow window to complete American commissioning tasks before any scheduled handover or transport to a final commissioning berth. The report provided to local technicians included the vessel's builder name, model, arrival date, and the fact that the boat was transported as deck freight.

Charleston's reception of this Leopard 37 continues a pattern of U.S. commissioning hubs handling overseas-built powercats. For this specific unit, Robertson & Caine's Leopard 37 will remain under the control of Charleston service teams while American commissioning is completed, after which the vessel will be cleared for its next step in the U.S. delivery process.
