Test / Jeanneau Leader 10.5 CC, numerous equipment options

In the final instalment of our test of the Jeanneau Leader 10.5 CC, we look at options and prices, as well as the market for 10 m open outboard launches.

A standard price that can be enhanced with options

The standard price of the Jeanneau Leader 10.5 CC without engine is ?186,360 incl. VAT. Our test model, presented with numerous options and two Yamaha 425 XTO engines plus joystick, is priced at ?377,100 incl. VAT (2023 price list). Of course, packages and options must be added to obtain a complete boat.

For example, the Silvertex Ice Premier Finish includes a number of options that seem essential for cruising, such as electric windlass, forward cockpit upholstery, flaps, interior and exterior lighting, and a refrigerator in the cockpit galley. This ?14,280 package must be supplemented by several other options, depending on the program, such as saloon and cabin upholstery, electronics package, cockpit table, etc. For fishermen, the livewell with seawater circulation pump and deck wash is priced at ?1,758 incl. VAT.

Our test model was also equipped with a gyroscopic stabilizer. Although this is a comfort option at the rather high price of ?50,208, its use is quite remarkable. Despite the chop, the boat doesn't roll when stationary.

In a similar style and hull length - 10 m - and with a similar layout: two cockpits fore and aft, two double cabins and a toilet, the Leader 10.5 CC can be compared to the Regal 33 SAV or the Key Largo 34.
