    About Thumper

    Thumper, a Leopard 53 Powercat is the ideal blend of luxury, comfort, and performance, making it a fantastic choice for a BVI bareboat charter. Whether you’re cruising between islands, enjoying lunch on the flybridge, or relaxing with friends after a day at The Baths, the Thumper offers the space and amenities to make every moment on the water unforgettable.

    Designed with entertaining in mind, the Leopard 53 features an expansive flybridge that quickly becomes everyone’s favorite gathering place. Enjoy panoramic island views from the comfortable lounge seating, soak up the Caribbean sun on the oversized sun pads, or enjoy cocktails and dinner around the large flybridge table as the sun sets over the islands.

    The spacious aft cockpit and bright salon flow together through large sliding glass doors, creating one seamless indoor-outdoor living space that is perfect for sharing meals, playing cards, or simply enjoying the tropical breeze. Whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before heading to The Indians or hosting a sunset happy hour, everyone will find plenty of room to spread out and relax.

    Below deck, the highly sought-after 4 cabin, 4 private head layout offers exceptional comfort and privacy for up to eight guests. Each spacious queen cabin features its own ensuite bathroom, making the Leopard 53 an excellent choice for families or couples traveling together.  Thumper has one forepeak berth, that can only be used if a captain/skipper is needed for the charter, it cannot be used by guests. Thumper does not offer a convertible salon, so the maximum number of guests that can be on board is 8.

    The fully equipped galley offers generous refrigeration, ample counter space, and abundant storage for provisions, making it easy to prepare everything from simple lunches to fresh island dinners aboard.

    The aft deck is the perfect place to relax with your morning coffee or enjoy an afternoon floating in your favorite anchorage.  Of the aft deck is a hydraulic swim platform, making for easy to raise and lower the dinghy as you reach a new location. 

    Powered by twin diesel 350 Yanmar engines and equipped with a bow thruster, the Leopard 53 is smooth, stable, and confidence-inspiring to operate throughout the islands. The elevated flybridge helm provides excellent visibility while docking and maneuvering, making island hopping both enjoyable and stress-free.

    **An on-water check-out is required on the first day of charter**

    This yacht is fitted with a water maker. Please note, water makers are very sensitive systems and they must be used in accordance with the instruction provided during your boat briefing. Watermakers cannot be run in shallow water, in marinas, underway or in Anegada. A watermaker is not considered 'essential equipment' and if it is not working at the time of your charter or fails during your charter, we can suggest multiple locations where you can purchase water during your charter and we will cover the cost.

"Better Than We Could Have Ever Imagined"

From the planning stage to last day of our trip, we could not have asked for any better experience. Alexia and crew were wonderful to deal with.

"Another Amazing Week With VCY"

Amazing customer service. Highly recommend VCY ahead of the other two big companies on the island with very little customer service.
