Construction firm Robins & Morton joined Baptist Health to celebrate the ribbon cuttings of two renovations totaling more than $28 million at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville. The 26,300-square-foot Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center Transplant Nursing Unit renovation on the 11th floor of the Weaver Tower was a conversion for a new 24-bed nursing unit for stem cell transplants, part of the joint care provided by Baptist Health and MD Anderson. The project also included the renovation of four Neuro ICU rooms on the 10th floor of the J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Tower, highlighted by the addition of a specialized Protective Environment/Airborne Infection Isolation room to support patients requiring enhanced infection control and protective environment measures. The construction cost was $16 million. The 21,250-square-foot Histology and Cytology Lab renovation within the first floor of the Main Tower includes spaces for the histology, cytology, blood bank, and pathology departments. The construction cost was $12.1 million. “As we celebrate the completion of these renovated facilities, we recognize the dedication and collaboration that made these projects possible,” Robins & Morton Florida Division Manager Todd Watson said. “These new spaces will enhance the hospital’s ability to deliver advanced services, supporting the highest level of patient care for the Jacksonville community. Robins & Morton is honored to have partnered with Baptist Health on this important investment in the future of healthcare.” Robins & Morton served as the general contractor for both projects. E4H was the architect for the Histology and Cytology Lab renovation, and The Haskell Company was the architect for the Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center Transplant Nursing Unit renovation.

Ann Storck Center – a Fort Lauderdale-based private nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities – unveiled its new monument sign during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its Fort Lauderdale campus. The new sign began with CEO Patricia (Pat) Murphy's vision and became possible through generous community partners. For 50 years since the opening of its Fort Lauderdale Campus, Ann Storck Center operated without a prominent sign, making the new monument far more meaningful than a physical improvement. The sign now serves as a prominent marker at the campus entrance and creates a visible sense of place for the children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities served by the Center, as well as their families, caregivers, staff members, volunteers and visitors. It reflects a welcoming, established community where every individual belongs and has the opportunity to thrive while serving as a lasting symbol of visibility, inclusion and Ann Storck Center’s continued impact throughout South Florida. The project was made possible through the generosity and collaboration of community partners who collectively donated more than $30,000 in time, talent, materials and resources. Ann Storck Center recognizes Eddie Waters of Custom Homes by Eddie Waters (CHEW) for joining Murphy to bring the monument sign from vision to reality. Eddie made a call to his partners who joined him to help complete the project. Community partners included Sean Frank of Dovetail Landscaping, Austin Fox of Austin Fox Architecture, Paul Pierson of Designer Sign Systems and Tony and Mona Mondazze of Progressive Plastering. Members of Ann Storck Center’s board and leadership team joined individuals served by the Center, families, community partners and local supporters to celebrate the sign’s unveiling. Board members in attendance included Jon Bandes, Albert Miniaci, Jeffrey Knight, Ira Schimmel, Howard Adkin, Carlos Rivera, Michael Gennett and Kim Slapikas (who is the niece of Ann Storck). Bina Frank from the Office of Commissioner Steve Geller was also in attendance. Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, guests gathered inside the Center’s Adult Day Training Building for a reception featuring breakfast, music and networking. “We want to deeply thank the businesses, individuals, and partners who donated time, talent, materials, and resources for our new monument sign at our Fort Lauderdale campus,” said Murphy. “Together, these partners donated over $30,000 to make this happen. Witnessing our community come together to support Ann Storck Center and the individuals we serve is a powerful reminder of the strength, compassion and generosity surrounding our mission. This meaningful campus improvement would not have been possible without our dedicated community partners, whose contributions help us continue enriching the lives of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they can discover ability, build independence and live happier, more fulfilling lives.” By ML Staff.

South Florida’s weekend scene is getting a stylish new addition. Beginning September 19, Atlantic Village in Hallandale Beach will debut its Saturday Style Series, a monthly open-air market series bringing together fashion, beauty, wellness and interactive experiences. Led by The Bungalow Agency, known for producing retail experiences across South Florida, New York City and the Hamptons, the series will showcase independent designers, small-batch brands and direct-to-consumer concepts. Shoppers can discover fashion, accessories and activewear alongside children’s and pet-friendly finds, beauty and wellness products. Beyond shopping, each Saturday will feature hands-on experiences, including charm bars, hat and handbag customization, and beauty activations. Atlantic Village’s restaurants, fitness studios and other tenants will also join the programming with special experiences, classes and cross-promotions, giving visitors even more ways to explore the lifestyle center. The series begins with The Refresh Edit on Saturday, September 19, from noon to 6 p.m., followed by The Fall Edit on October 10 and The Holiday Edit on November 14. The Saturday Style Series fits naturally into Atlantic Village’s evolution from a traditional shopping center into a lifestyle destination where dining, wellness, fitness and specialty experiences come together. Visitors can enjoy an elevated culinary experience at The Wagyu House, stop by neighborhood favorite Crema Gourmet for coffee or brunch, or unwind with rejuvenating treatments at Glow Med Spa. Fitness is also part of the mix, with Club Pilates and 54D offering distinct workout experiences, while newer concepts such as Tee Box expand the center’s offerings into golf training and performance. Atlantic Village (Credit: Fabian Giannattasio) Atlantic Village’s growth also reflects the broader transformation taking place across Hallandale Beach. Long positioned between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, the area is increasingly developing a lifestyle scene of its own. Nearby destinations such as The Village at Gulfstream Park and the exclusive Shell Bay Club have helped establish the area as a hub for dining, recreation and entertainment. With the Saturday Style Series adding to its evolving mix of shopping, dining and wellness, Atlantic Village continues to help shape Hallandale Beach into a lifestyle destination of its own.

Image by DepositPhotos Miami's cannabis and hemp retail scene has grown into something genuinely layered. You've got licensed medical dispensaries operating under strict state oversight, and you've got hemp-derived retailers selling products under Florida's separate hemp statute. They're not interchangeable, and knowing which one you're walking into changes what you should expect, both legally and in terms of what's actually on the shelf. Florida's hemp rules have also tightened meaningfully over the past year, with the state now calculating total THC in a way that catches products that used to slide by under the old federal math. None of that needs to complicate your shopping trip, but it's worth knowing before you assume every product labeled "hemp" is automatically compliant. Quick Comparison of the Best Dispensaries in Miami Dispensary Best For Product Selection Reviews Location Hours The Plug Miami No-card convenience and late-night shopping Indoor and exotic flower, pre-rolls, edibles 5.0 stars, 170+ reviews 11091A Biscayne Blvd, North Miami Daily, 8 AM to midnight Trulieve Miami Consistent medical selection Flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates 4.7 stars, 1,600+ reviews 4020 NW 26th St, Miami Mon–Sat 9 AM–8:45 PM, Sun 10 AM–8 PM Curaleaf Dadeland South Miami medical convenience Flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates 4.6 stars, 230+ reviews 9002 S Dadeland Blvd, Miami Mon–Sat 9 AM–8:30 PM, closed Sundays The Flowery Miami Boutique medical shopping Flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates 4.6 stars, 1,300+ reviews 11900 Biscayne Blvd Ste 108, Miami Mon–Sat 11 AM–8:45 PM, Sun 10 AM–6 PM Sunnyside North Miami First-time medical patients Medical cannabis products and online ordering 4.8 stars, 360+ reviews 505 NE 125th St, North Miami Mon–Sat 9 AM–8:30 PM, closed Sundays Product availability, store hours, and menus can change, so check current information directly before visiting. 1. The Plug Miami Product Selection: Indoor and exotic flower, pre-rolls, edibles, and other hemp-derived products.Location: 11091A Biscayne Blvd, North Miami.Hours: Daily, 8 AM to midnight.Reviews: 5.0 stars, 170+ reviews.Best For: No-card convenience and late-night shopping. If you'd rather skip the medical card process altogether, put The Plug Miami on your list. Located on Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami, it operates as a hemp-derived dispensary and smoke shop with indoor and exotic flower, pre-rolls, and edibles restocked weekly. Every product is meant to carry a Certificate of Analysis you can check in the shop, which matters given how much scrutiny Florida hemp products are under right now. It's a solid fit if you want a quick, no-appointment stop instead of navigating the state's medical registry. Just go in knowing that hemp-derived doesn't automatically mean every product clears Florida's current compliance threshold, so ask to see the lab results yourself. If convenience, extended hours, and the ability to shop without going through the medical card process are your priorities, The Plug Miami is an easy place to start. 2. Trulieve Miami Product Selection: Flower, vapes, edibles, and concentrates.Location: 4020 NW 26th St, Miami.Hours: Mon–Sat 9 AM–8:45 PM, Sun 10 AM–8 PM.Reviews: 4.7 stars, 1,600+ reviews.Best For: Consistent medical selection. If you're a registered medical patient, Trulieve remains one of the most consistent options in the city. Its Miami location carries flower, vapes, edibles, and concentrates, with lab reports for individual products available directly through your patient account online. Reviewers repeatedly mention staff spending real time walking first-time patients through strain options for specific concerns. With over 1,600 reviews averaging 4.7 stars, that reputation holds up at scale. Both online ordering and delivery are available, which helps if you'd rather skip an in-person wait entirely. If you want a dependable, well-documented medical option with a broad selection, Trulieve is a strong choice. Image by DepositPhotos 3. Curaleaf Dadeland Product Selection: Flower, vapes, edibles, and concentrates.Location: 9002 S Dadeland Blvd, Miami.Hours: Mon–Sat 9 AM–8:30 PM, closed Sundays.Reviews: 4.6 stars, 230+ reviews.Best For: South Miami medical convenience. Curaleaf's Dadeland location gives you a closer medical option if you're in South Miami and don't want to head further north into the city. It carries a similar range to other major medical chains, including flower, vapes, edibles, and concentrates. Reviews here run high, and the location's convenience for anyone living or working around the Dadeland corridor is its clearest advantage. You can get access to a broad medical menu without making a trip across Miami. One thing to plan around is that the location is closed on Sundays. If proximity matters more to you than chasing a specific specialty product, Curaleaf Dadeland is a practical option to keep in mind. 4. The Flowery Miami Product Selection: Flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates, and other medical cannabis products.Location: 11900 Biscayne Blvd Ste 108, Miami.Hours: Mon–Sat 11 AM–8:45 PM, Sun 10 AM–6 PM.Reviews: 4.6 stars, 1,300+ reviews.Best For: A boutique medical shopping experience. The Flowery brings a more boutique feel to the medical dispensary experience. Rather than a high-volume retail floor, the atmosphere leans curated, which appeals if you'd rather shop somewhere that feels less clinical and more considered. Product categories mirror what you'd expect from a licensed Florida dispensary, but the shopping experience itself is the differentiator here. Its 4.6-star average across more than 1,300 reviews also suggests that plenty of customers appreciate that approach. It's a good option if ambiance and a less rushed pace matter to you as much as the product on the shelf. If you prefer browsing in a more curated environment, The Flowery is worth considering. 5. Sunnyside North Miami Product Selection: Medical cannabis products with online ordering and real-time menu updates.Location: 505 NE 125th St, North Miami.Hours: Mon–Sat 9 AM–8:30 PM, closed Sundays.Reviews: 4.8 stars, 360+ reviews.Best For: First-time medical patients. Sunnyside positions itself around education and a judgment-free approach, which makes it a particularly good fit if you're newly registered and still learning how to navigate menu options. The brand operates dispensaries across several states, and its Florida locations carry that same emphasis on online ordering with real-time menu updates. Reviewers highlight staff patience with first-time questions specifically, which is exactly what you want if you're still getting oriented to how medical cannabis shopping works. Its 4.8-star rating from over 360 reviews is also the highest on this list. Hours can shift, so it's worth confirming directly before you head over. If you want more guidance during the shopping process rather than simply getting in and out, Sunnyside is a solid option for beginners. Image by DepositPhotos What to Look for in a Miami Dispensary Miami's cannabis and hemp market gives you plenty of options, but not every shop offers the same products or shopping experience. Here are a few factors worth considering before choosing where to shop. Product Selection and Restock Frequency A good dispensary should offer enough variety to help you find the product format that fits what you're looking for. Depending on the retailer, that could include flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, or other hemp-derived products. It's also worth paying attention to how often inventory changes. Shops that restock regularly are more likely to offer fresh batches and newly available products instead of carrying the same limited selection every time you visit. Lab Testing and Product Transparency Lab testing can be particularly important when you're shopping for hemp-derived products. Look for retailers that make a Certificate of Analysis available for the specific product you're considering. This documentation gives you a clearer picture of what's actually in the product rather than requiring you to rely solely on a sales pitch. If a retailer makes general testing claims but can't provide product-specific information, it's reasonable to ask questions before making a purchase. Convenience and Store Experience Not every Miami dispensary is designed for the same type of shopper. Some focus on quick in-store visits and extended hours, while others offer online ordering, delivery, or a more relaxed browsing experience. Consider how you actually want to shop before choosing a regular location. Flexible hours may matter more to you than having the largest menu, while first-time medical patients may prefer a store where staff are available to answer questions and explain the available options. Medical Access and Hemp Options It's also important to understand the difference between Florida's medical cannabis system and hemp-derived retail. Medical dispensaries serve registered patients, while hemp retailers operate under a separate regulatory framework. Knowing which type of retailer you're visiting helps you understand the purchasing requirements, available products, and documentation you should expect. If you're shopping for hemp-derived products, pay attention to current Florida requirements and the testing information provided by the retailer. Bottom Line The best dispensary in Miami depends on what you value most, whether that's product selection, convenience, location, or a more personalized shopping experience. The Plug Miami stands out for its extended hours and selection of indoor and exotic flower, pre-rolls, and edibles, while established medical dispensaries offer broader options for registered patients. Before choosing a shop, consider the type of retailer you need, check product testing information, and compare the selection and shopping experience. A little research can help you find a Miami dispensary that fits your needs rather than simply choosing the closest location. Frequently Asked Questions Still have questions about choosing a dispensary in Miami? Here are a few things worth knowing before you visit. What Should I Look For When Choosing a Dispensary in Miami? Start by determining whether you're looking for a medical cannabis dispensary or a hemp-derived retailer. From there, consider product selection, lab testing, staff knowledge, pricing, location, and operating hours. Do Dispensaries in Miami Offer Lab-Tested Products? Licensed medical dispensaries and compliant hemp retailers provide product testing information, although the way you access those records may vary. Ask staff how to view the Certificate of Analysis or other available lab documentation for the specific product you're considering. What Types of Products Can I Find at a Miami Dispensary? Depending on the shop, you may find flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, concentrates, and other cannabis or hemp-derived products. Selection varies between medical dispensaries and hemp retailers. How Do I Know If a Cannabis Product Is Right for Me? Start by checking the labeled cannabinoid content, serving size, and product format. You can also ask knowledgeable staff for product information, especially if you're unfamiliar with a particular format or potency. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of DepositPhotos

Sotheby’s has unveiled new editorial features and events that span a major Es Devlin retrospective in London, the auction of a rare Shang–Zhou dynasty bronze vessel in Hong Kong and an intimate gathering at John Chamberlain’s Shelter Island estate, alongside a slate of upcoming international exhibitions. Es Devlin Retrospective Opens at London’s Design Museum Set designer and artist Es Devlin will be the focus of the largest exhibition of her career at London’s Design Museum, opening on 2 October and running through 4 April 2027. The show surveys three decades of work across theater, opera, fashion and large-scale stage environments, reflecting collaborations with performers and directors including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, U2 and Sam Mendes, as well as institutions such as the Metropolitan Opera. The exhibition charts Devlin’s move from celebrated stage design toward a more personal artistic practice, which has increasingly attracted institutional attention. Readers can explore the profile for further details on Devlin’s evolving body of work. Ancient Bronze Jue Featuring Ge Pictogram to be Auctioned in Hong Kong At Sotheby’s Hong Kong on 4 September, a rare bronze jue from the Okada Museum of Art will be offered in the sale Masterpieces of Asian Art from the Okada Museum of Art II. Cast in the late Shang or early Western Zhou period in the 11th century B.C., the 19.5-centimeter tripod drinking vessel bears a single pictogram beneath its handle: Ge (戈), or dagger-axe. Specialist Nicolas Chow notes that the mark associates the vessel with the Ge clan, a lineage that claimed descent from Yu of the Xia, and reflects early concepts of divine legitimacy, sacred authority and moral order in Chinese state formation. Dinner at John Chamberlain’s Shelter Island Estate Marks Centennial Countdown Sotheby’s and design company Nordic Knots recently co-hosted an intimate dinner at the John Chamberlain Estate on Shelter Island, Long Island, following a feature on the artist’s work. Guests gathered at a long white table set over colorful Nordic Knots rugs inside a former stable that now serves as a private gallery for Chamberlain’s bright foil sculptures. Chamberlain’s widow, Prudence Fairweather, and his stepdaughter Alexandra Fairweather hosted the event, offering informal tours and conversations around works including an oversized foam piece known as the “barge,” which Alexandra now uses as the set for her interview series “On the Couch.” Upcoming Global Exhibitions and Events A series of exhibitions opens on 29 August, including “Miller: Fearless” at the Art Institute of Chicago, “Dai-chien: A Master of Modern Chinese Painting” at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, Florida, and an exhibition on photographer Florence Henri at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, Switzerland. Also on 29 August, the Busan Biennale opens in Korea, followed on 1 September by “Mexicano: Moments in Mexican Photography” at the Getty Center in Los Angeles and, on 2 September, Frieze Seoul. On 3 September, “Heritage in Motion” opens at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, adding to a crowded early autumn calendar of international art events. By ML. Photo(s)/Sotheby’s

Miami's luxury residential market continues to serve high-end living, and private helicopter access has become one of its most exclusive amenities. While only a handful of residential developments in South Florida offer dedicated helicopter facilities, they attract residents seeking fast access to airports, private islands, yachts, and business destinations. Some feature fully operational FAA-registered heliports, while others include planned rooftop landing facilities that remain subject to regulatory approval. What Does a Private Helicopter Transfer Cost? For residents who actually use these facilities, the cost of a helicopter transfer varies considerably depending on the aircraft, operator, routing, waiting time and whether the helicopter is already positioned in South Florida. Charter companies serving the Miami market commonly quote helicopter aircraft at roughly $1,000 to $6,000 per flight hour, with some South Florida operators listing rates as high as $7,500 per hour for larger or more specialized aircraft. These are aircraft charter estimates rather than guaranteed point-to-point fares, and fuel, pilot, repositioning, landing and other operational charges can be added. For a short transfer, the actual flight time can be surprisingly brief. Miami International Airport (MIA) to a downtown Miami residence such as One Thousand Museum is only a few miles, while Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), a major private-aviation airport, is also relatively close. In practical terms, a helicopter transfer from MIA or a private-jet facility such as OPF to an approved residential landing site could potentially cost several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars per trip, depending on the operator's minimum charge and aircraft. One Thousand Museum's FA10 heliport is located approximately five nautical miles from MIA and is a private-use facility requiring permission before landing. How Does a Residential Helipad Actually Work? A residential helipad is not simply an elevator for helicopters. Even at a building with an operational FAA-listed facility, every landing must comply with the heliport's operating rules, aircraft limitations, weather conditions and required permissions. At One Thousand Museum, for example, FA10 is officially classified as a private-use heliport, and permission is required before landing. The facility has a 56-by-56-foot concrete landing area and an elevation of approximately 709 feet. For a resident, the process generally begins with arranging the helicopter charter and coordinating the arrival with the building or heliport manager. The operator confirms that the aircraft is appropriate for the facility, obtains the required landing permission and coordinates the flight with air traffic control and other aviation requirements. This means the privilege is less like pulling into a private driveway and more like using a highly regulated private aviation facility. At developments where the helipad is still proposed, residents cannot assume that helicopter service will be available until all required approvals and operating procedures are in place. Miami’s Helipad Homes Below are five notable Miami developments that either feature an operational helipad or have announced plans to include one. One Thousand Museum Photos Credit: One Thousand Museum Official Website Address: 1000 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132 Designed by the late Zaha Hadid, One Thousand Museum is currently home to one of the few operational residential heliports in Miami. The rooftop facility is registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under identifier FA10 and became active in March 2020. The private-use heliport features: FAA Identifier: FA10 Landing pad size: 56 feet × 56 feet (17.1 × 17.1 meters) Surface: Concrete Elevation: 709 feet above sea level Status: Active private-use heliport Activation: March 2020 Maximum recommended helicopter weight: Approximately 12,000 pounds Landing requires prior permission, making the facility available exclusively for authorized operations. The heliport complements the building's collection of luxury amenities and provides direct aerial access to nearby airports, private islands, and yachts. Aston Martin Residences Photos Credit: Aston Martin Residences Official Website Address: 300 Biscayne Blvd Way, Miami, FL 33131 The Aston Martin Residences includes a completed rooftop helipad positioned above the building's multi-level amenity deck spanning floors 52 through 55. The landing area forms part of the tower's collection of "Sky Amenities," which also includes lounges, pools, wellness facilities, and entertainment spaces. Unlike One Thousand Museum, the developer has not publicly released technical information regarding: Landing pad dimensions FAA registration number Operating specifications Maximum helicopter capacity As of publication, those details have not been made publicly available through FAA records or official project materials. Villa Miami Photos Credit: Villa Miami Official Website Address: 710 NE 29th St, Miami, FL 33137 Currently under construction in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood, Villa Miami plans to include a rooftop helipad as part of its private Copper Club amenity collection. The project is being developed by Terra and One Thousand Group in collaboration with Major Food Group. Public project information indicates the building is expected to be completed in late 2027. At this stage: The helipad remains a planned feature. Landing pad dimensions have not been disclosed. FAA registration has not yet been announced publicly. Because construction is ongoing, technical specifications may be released closer to completion. E11EVEN Residences Beyond Photos Credit: E11EVEN Residences Beyond Official Website Address: 60 NE 11th St, Miami, FL 33132 E11EVEN Residences Beyond has announced plans for a private rooftop helipad as one of its signature amenities. The feature appears in official marketing materials and project fact sheets but remains contingent upon FAA and other required government approvals. Current publicly available information indicates: Rooftop helipad is planned. FAA approval remains pending. Landing pad dimensions have not been published. Operational specifications have not been released. Until approvals are completed, the helipad should be considered a proposed amenity rather than an operational facility. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach Photos Credit: The Ritz-Carlton Residences Official Website Address: 4701 Meridian Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140 Rather than placing a landing pad on the building itself, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach offers a distinctive alternative through a floating marine helistop located in Biscayne Bay. Residents reach the landing platform by boat from the property's private marina before continuing their journey by helicopter. Unlike conventional rooftop heliports, the floating helistop is designed to integrate with the waterfront character of the property while providing helicopter access without placing a landing facility directly on the residential structure. Publicly available information does not specify: Platform dimensions Maximum aircraft capacity FAA operating designation By Luiz Porto/ML Staff. Top Image/Courtesy of One Thousand Museum

The reimagined model will officially launch in December 2025 but will be available for its first public viewing in February 2026 at the Miami International Boat Show, offering unparalleled comfort for both private owners and participants in The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program. Elevated Exterior Socialization The key focus of the redesign is the enhancement of the yacht’s expansive exterior living areas. The aft cockpit introduces versatile living and a new level of comfort. Owners can now choose between a flexible “Alfresco” modular furniture setup or a traditional fixed configuration, maximizing adaptability for entertaining or relaxation. The enhanced walk-through transom and optional redesigned electric lifting platform further integrate the yacht with the water, after deck (in up position) serving as both a tender station and a spacious swim platform/beach in down position The flybridge, often described as the heart of the boat, has been completely refined. It now features a more spacious and comfortable seating layout with modular back cushions and new fabric, an upgraded helm station with improved visibility and ergonomics, and a sophisticated wet bar/galley module with an integrated sink, grill, and refrigeration. Interior Flow and Serene Comfort Inside, the saloon and galley have undergone a major refresh, focusing on a seamless flow and modern sophistication. Saloon & Galley: Redesigned seating, upgraded premium finishes, and enhanced connection between the galley, dining, and lounge areas creates a truly social, open-plan living experience. Noise Reduction: A critical engineering update includes housing all major systems in a separate, sealed engine room, substantially reducing engine noise and vibration transmitted into the living spaces, providing a quiet and restful cruising experience. Accommodation: The 53PC continues to be offered in three- or four-cabin ensuite layouts, with the owner’s version providing a full private suite complete with a large island bed and spacious walk-in closet. Lighting: Modernized cockpit lighting for ambiance and functionality. Ambient and task flybridge lighting built into seating and structure for night use. Franck Bauguil, Senior Vice President of Yacht Ownership & Product Development for Leopard Catamarans and The Moorings, commented on the release: “The refined Leopard 53 Powercat is a testament to our commitment to continuous innovation and listening to the needs of our global owners. We haven't just refreshed the finishes; we've optimized the experience at the same price point. The combination of its exceptional new living spaces, smart ergonomic design, and enhanced level of comfort truly sets a new standard for luxury power catamaran cruising. It remains the ideal platform for both extended private voyages and successful charter ownership through The Moorings.” Proven Performance and Ownership Versatility The enhanced Leopard 53 Powercat retains its highly efficient hull design and trusted twin Yanmar 370HP engines, offering reliable performance with top speeds up to 24 knots, linear power curve completely flat on the water and an impressive long-range capability. The yacht is available for purchase for private use or through The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program, offering a guaranteed income stream and plenty of owner use. By ML Staff.
