Jeanneau Leader 8

The Jeanneau Leader 8 is a recognized powerboat for its excellent compromise between performance, comfort, and build quality. This 2011 unit stands out for its remarkable overall condition and thorough maintenance. It is powered by a Volvo Penta D4 260 HP diesel engine with only 485 hours, offering significant torque, controlled fuel consumption, and proven reliability.

The hull was completely sandblasted in 2023 and treated with epoxy paint before antifouling, ensuring long-lasting protection. The antifouling was renewed in 2025. The mechanical systems benefit from rigorous annual maintenance with invoices available, and many recent works have been carried out: bellows, alternator, and batteries in 2025.

The boat offers two interior cabins and an outdoor saloon convertible into sleeping space thanks to the camping awning, allowing for real multi-day cruising capacity. Comfort onboard is enhanced by an electric WC, a bathroom, hot water, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

The cockpit is particularly welcoming with a teak deck, new upholstery, a new canopy, a sunbathing platform, a cockpit shower, and a swim platform facilitating access to the sea.

Navigation equipment includes a Raymarine chartplotter/depth sounder, a chain counter, and a VHF. The bow thruster greatly facilitates dockside maneuvers.

With its 9 seats, efficient diesel engine, and level of equipment, this Leader 8 is perfectly suited for coastal cruising and crossings to Corsica safely. A ready-to-sail unit, healthy, reliable, and particularly attractive on the market.
