Small Size, Big Summer Plans
As the sun lingers longer in the sky and the water begins to warm, there’s no better time to head for the coast—and no better companion than the 2024 Jeanneau Leader 6.5 CC Series 3. Designed for warm-weather fun, easy trailering, and sporty handling, this center console is the kind of boat that fits just as naturally into your weekday escapes as it does into your weekend adventures.
This summer-ready craft may be compact in name, but it’s packed with versatility. From quick fishing runs to afternoon sandbar stops, the Leader 6.5 CC turns any sunny day into a well-spent one.
Efficient Layout with a Smart, Sporty Feel
One of the most notable aspects of the 6.5 CC Series 3 is how much utility Jeanneau packs into its streamlined layout. The center console configuration allows for 360-degree movement, which makes it great for casting lines or quickly adjusting lines at the dock. The forward cockpit includes a wraparound bench that transforms into a sundeck, offering both lounging and storage in one compact footprint.
At the helm, the raised seating position and wide console give you excellent visibility, whether you’re navigating tight marinas or enjoying open water. The dashboard is clean and modern, with enough space for digital displays and controls, and the steering is responsive and confident under the hand.
What really sets this model apart, however, is its ability to switch roles effortlessly. It’s just as comfortable being a day cruiser as it is being a serious fishing platform, which makes it a smart choice for boaters who want flexibility without moving up to a larger vessel.
Sleek Design Meets Practical Performance
The exterior styling of the Leader 6.5 CC Series 3 carries Jeanneau’s signature look—clean lines, bold angles, and a strong stance on the water. Its hull design provides a soft ride in choppy conditions, giving peace of mind to boaters who want to venture a little farther from shore.
The swim platform and rear access points make boarding easy after a swim or dive, and there’s even a space to install a live well or extra storage compartment if fishing is in your plans. The bimini top and windshield offer just enough protection from the elements without disrupting the boat’s athletic silhouette.
Ready for This Season and the Next
Whether you’re a new boater looking for an easy entry point or a seasoned mariner who wants a compact, capable option for short trips, the 2024 Jeanneau Leader 6.5 CC Series 3 is a boat that keeps things simple—without sacrificing performance or fun. It’s a vessel made for the spontaneous, the casual cruiser, and the adventure-seeker alike.
