The layout of the Leopard 42 catamaran provides for four double cabins, four heads, four showers, a very large saloon and a large galley.

The cabin sole is of durable low maintenance teak and holly composite floor panels. The headliner is neatly finished.
"Polaris" has four double, ensuite cabins with queen size bunks. The two forward cabins have walk-around bunks and an extra quarter berth forward.
