An affectionate nickname for 
South Africa President Nelson Mandela

Voted "Charter Boat of the Year" by the influential Cruising World Magazine... . And rightly so! the aesthetics of Madiba's lines make her distinctive and easy on the eye. She literally stands out in a crowd

Welcome to life aboard Madiba. Our yacht, a Leopard 45 catamaran, 
is a design that has been an unqualified success with discerning charterers worldwide.

The comfortable double ensuite cabins are design masterpieces. 
Each is fitted with crisp percale cotton bed linens and extra large bath sheets.

The layout of the deck hatches and port lights was developed to ensure the cabins are always well ventilated to ensure maximum comfort.
