2026 Jeanneau Leader 6.5 WA Series 3

The Leader 6.5 WA Series 3 is a 22.5-foot cuddy cabin built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single 150 hp Yamaha engine. The design, by Michael Peters, combines a solid, capable structure with practical family-oriented layout. The boat's open deck spaces are its strongest feature: a large recessed sundeck forward offers secure footing, while aft sits a generous U-shaped cockpit that opens into additional sundeck area. Long, flush swim platforms extend the boat's usability at the water's edge.

Interior accommodation centers on a roomy cabin forward with a double berth and an enclosed head, providing comfortable overnight capability for cruising or weekend getaways. The cabin design prioritizes clear sightlines and ventilation, with considerate attention paid to ergonomics throughout the boat. The overall layout balances protected indoor space with abundant outdoor seating and sunbathing areas, making it well-suited to families who want both shelter and open-air flexibility.
