Hello Boater

Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC

Full Comfort, Compact

Jeanneau Leader 9.0

WEEKENDER SIZED UP Don't let her 30-foot profile fool you. Jeanneau used their extensive offshore experience to give the Leader 9.0 a Michael Peters V-hull and surprising cabin space. We're talking a dedicated double berth, a separate shower, and a mid-cabin tucked neatly below. Up top, the seating easily transforms into a generous sunpad. She takes the day-boat idea and stretches it right into the whole weekend.

Effortless Indoor/Outdoor Living

Riviera 505

A FLOATING ENTERTAINER Hailing from a builder known for their rugged, hand-laid hulls, the 505 SUV proves you don't have to sacrifice comfort for performance. Her large aft platform raises to meet the cockpit floor, creating a massive, single-level outdoor space. The signature awning window brings the galley and alfresco deck together, so you're never far from the action.
