Ocean 80

The SY Ocean Leopard, built by Southern Ocean Shipyards in 1988, is still a head-turner wherever she goes. Back in the 1990s, she won several awards, broke records, and amazed even the most experienced sailors around the world every time she was spotted sailing with all her glamour and exceptional performance.

Several refits were carried out in the past (2001, 2005, 2013, and 2020) to preserve her identity and maintain that glamorous feel when you step below deck.

Currently berthed at the renovated Marina de Cascais, she is back in the water after a three-month dry-dock maintenance project. She is now ready to be sold to her next fortunate owner.

The Ocean 80 is fully equipped, fully functional, and ready to return to where she belongs—the ocean.

Description:

The saloon is divided into an upper and lower area, both featuring comfortable seating and dining tables.

Below deck, just inside the entrance on the port side, is a fully equipped chart table with electronic equipment and several panels containing all the switches to operate the yacht’s entire electrical system.

In total, the Ocean Leopard offers three (3) en-suite cabins. The owner’s cabin, located at the bow, is a true masterpiece with stunning woodwork that gives the owner a truly homey feeling.

A fully equipped galley on the starboard side provides access to the stern, which houses two skipper cabins and the engine room.
