The Jeanneau Leader 8 is well known for its perfect balance between performance, comfort and build quality. This 2011 unit stands out thanks to its excellent overall condition and meticulous maintenance. It is powered by a Volvo Penta D4 260 hp diesel engine with only 485 hours, delivering strong torque, controlled fuel consumption and proven reliability.
The hull was fully sandblasted in 2023 and treated with epoxy paint before antifouling, ensuring long-term protection. Antifouling was renewed in 2025. The mechanical side benefits from annual servicing with invoices available, and major recent works were carried out in 2025, including bellows, alternator and batteries.
The layout offers two interior cabins plus an exterior cockpit dinette convertible into an additional berth using the camping canvas, providing real cruising capability. Comfort on board is enhanced by an electric toilet, bathroom, hot water, microwave and refrigerator.
The cockpit is particularly attractive with its teak deck, new upholstery, new canvas, sunbathing areas, cockpit shower and bathing platform for easy sea access.
Navigation equipment includes a Raymarine chartplotter/fishfinder, chain counter and VHF. The bow thruster makes harbour manoeuvres easy and safe.
With 9 passenger capacity, a powerful diesel engine and a very high level of equipment, this Leader 8 is perfectly suited for coastal cruising and crossings to Corsica in complete safety. A turnkey boat, reliable, well maintained and highly attractive on the market.
