After a year-long sabbatical cruising the Bahamas and Caribbean, our 1999 Leopard 38 Kaia is ready for her next adventure! Currently sailing in the southern Caribbean (between Grenada and Martinique), all the hard upwind miles are already behind her. This is the perfect cruising area, with a vibrant and supportive cruising community at every anchorage.
With extensive upgrades completed in 2024 and 2025 including all new rigging and sails, Kaia has been exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully improved. She’s fully equipped and ready for extended live-aboard cruising.
Fresh from a quick trip to the boat yard (October 2025) for a bottom job and polish, she’s looking great and performing beautifully.
We are a family of four currently cruising north from Grenada — Kaia is ready to continue on and available now.
Delivery within the Caribbean is possible.
