Jeanneau Leader 8

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

The hull was fully sandblasted in 2023 and then treated with epoxy paint before antifouling, ensuring durable protection. The antifouling was renewed in 2025. The mechanics benefit from rigorous annual service 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 salon convertible into sleeping area thanks to the camping awning, allowing for true multi-day cruising capacity. Onboard comfort is enhanced by an electric WC, a bathroom, hot water, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

The cockpit is particularly inviting with a teak deck, new upholstery, new awning, a sunbathing area, a deck shower, and a bathing platform facilitating sea access.

Navigation equipment includes a Raymarine chartplotter/fish finder, a chain counter, and a VHF. The bow thruster greatly facilitates maneuvers in port.

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