The Ultimate SOCIAL Center Console! - Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:00:13 +0000

The Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 takes the traditional center console concept and gives it a much more social, family-focused personality.

While it still delivers the practicality, visibility, and ease of maintenance that make center consoles so popular, this boat adds comfortable seating, overnight accommodation, and flexible spaces that make it equally suited to sandbar days, coastal cruising, watersports, and the occasional weekend getaway.

In this series, filmed at Haulover Inlet in Miami, Florida, we take a detailed look at the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 from both a design and performance perspective. In the walkthrough, we explore the cockpit, bow lounge, helm, accommodation, head, swim platform, and the clever features that make this boat so versatile. In the sea trial, we put it through challenging conditions at Haulover Inlet before heading offshore and inshore to evaluate its ride quality, handling, performance, docking, anchoring, and overall capability.

Whether you're upgrading from a smaller center console or looking for a boat that offers far more versatility than a traditional fishing-focused design, the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 is well worth considering.

As always, the goal isn't to tell you whether this is the right boat for you, but to help you understand what it was designed to do and whether it matches your own boating lifestyle.

Enjoy,

Dan
