The Seven Stars Marina & Shipyard in Pisa, Italy, has unveiled the rebirth of the historic brand Leopard Yachts, with the announcement of its first 36-metre model. This first model from Leopard Yachts, originally founded by the Picchiotti family in 1973, will be constructed at the Tombolo Shipyard, where the original vessels were built. The announcement comes shortly after Seven Stars Marina & Shipyard’s recent acquisition of the Tombolo shipyard.
This new 35.8-metre yacht has been designed by Andre Bacigalupo, who worked closely on many of the successful Leopard Yachts motor yachts, alongside a student of Paolo Caliari, who designed the brand's very first model. She will host up to ten guests between five staterooms, with three additional crew cabins hosting six crew members. She will have a maximum speed of 42 knots, with a cruising speed of 35 knots.
