Jeanneau Leader 8

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

The hull was entirely sanded in 2023 and then 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: gaiters, alternator, and batteries in 2025.

The boat offers two interior cabins and an outdoor salon convertible into sleeping space thanks to the bimini cover, enabling genuine multi-day cruising capacity. Comfort on board 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 sunbathing area, a stern shower, and a swim platform facilitating access to the sea.

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

With its 9 seats, efficient 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, solid, reliable, and especially attractive on the market.
