2018 Jeanneau Leader “PUNCHED OUT”

The Leader 36 sports a smart layout, giving a generous amount of room to the space that is used the most: the cockpit. With exceptional handling, a nice turn of speed, comfort in short chop, and comfort in sizable following seas, the Jeanneau cruiser hits the mark of excellence. Her express-style windshield gives the boat a sleek and sexy raked look.

The Leader 36 makes it easy: Hydraulically opening engine room access allows you to easily climb into the engine space to check fluid levels. Her amply wide walkways leading forward to the bow are large enough to accommodate walking up and down with cocktail in one hand and a hot plate of food in another. The Master is masterful. The guest stateroom, with a double berth that converts to twins and a third berth to port was adequate for adult guests for a night or two, or with children for much longer.
