The Moorings 5200: Redefining the Modern Charter Experience
The Moorings 5200 is the latest addition to The Moorings’ charter fleet, debuting in the U.S. for the 2025–2026 season. Built on the same platform as the Leopard 52 but designed with distinct styling and layout features, the 5200 introduces new levels of versatility and comfort for charter guests.
Available in bareboat, skippered, and crewed configurations, the Moorings 5200 offers flexible options for a range of charter experiences. One of the boat’s standout features is its expansive social layout. The aft and forward cockpits flow seamlessly together, creating a vast, open space that can seat up to 16 guests—a hallmark of the Moorings and Leopard design philosophy of sociability and connection. The upper lounge area provides an ideal spot for relaxation and sunset gatherings, popular among charter guests at anchor.
Below deck, the 5200 features a thoughtful cabin arrangement. The five-cabin version includes a full-size owner’s suite with a private companionway, plus four double guest cabins. For those who prefer maximum capacity, a six-cabin version replaces the owner’s suite with an additional midship cabin, and both layouts can be configured for crewed or bareboat use. Crew quarters are smartly designed with exterior access, a full head, and shower facilities.
At the helm, the design emphasizes visibility, accessibility, and ease of operation—perfect for charter guests and skippers alike. The double helm seat, high lifelines, and well-placed handrails enhance both comfort and safety, while the low boom and clear sightlines forward and aft make handling the yacht intuitive and secure.
Set to be available for charter as early as December, the Moorings 5200 promises to become a familiar sight in top cruising destinations worldwide. With its refined blend of luxury, practicality, and innovative design, this next-generation catamaran is poised to redefine the charter experience.
