SHIBULI

SHIBULI — Leopard 40 Power Catamaran, Thailand Launched in 2024, SHIBULI belongs to a category that has quietly reshaped Southeast Asian cruising: the compact power catamaran. Two hulls mean a level platform under way, generous deck area for her 12.19m, and shallow enough draft to reach the anchorages a deeper-keeled yacht has to admire from a distance. In Thai waters — the limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay, the beaches south of Phuket, the islands scattered towards Krabi — that combination is precisely the point. Her Leopard pedigree shows in the layout. Space is allocated where guests actually spend their time: shaded cockpit seating that flows into the saloon, an accessible flybridge, and clear sightlines from wherever you happen to be sitting. The interior is bright and uncluttered, built for the tropics rather than adapted to them. Below, three cabins accommodate six guests overnight, with the detailed bed configuration available on request. For daytime charters she takes up to fifteen — a useful margin for a group that wants to be together on the water without crowding the deck. She is crewed, which changes the tenor of the day entirely: the route, the timing of lunch, the decision to stay one more hour at an anchorage because the light is right. You are not managing the yacht. You are simply aboard. Compact, current, and built for exactly the waters she works — SHIBULI suits couples, families and small groups who want the islands on their own schedule.
