Jeanneau Leader 8

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

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

The boat features two interior cabins and an exterior salon that can be converted into sleeping area thanks to a camping tent, allowing for genuine cruising capacity over several days. Onboard comfort is enhanced by an electric toilet, a bathroom, hot water, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

The cockpit is particularly inviting with a teak deck, new upholstery, a new bimini, a sun lounger, a deck shower, and a swim platform facilitating water access.

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

With its 9 berths, performing diesel engine, and high 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.
