2025 Jeanneau Leader 10.5 WA S2: The Ultimate Tampa Bay and Sarasota Boat
If you’re looking for the perfect boat for Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota, the 2025 Jeanneau Leader 10.5 WA S2 should be at the top of your list. Combining sporty performance, luxurious comfort, and versatile design, this walkaround cruiser is tailor-made for Florida’s Gulf Coast lifestyle. Whether you want to beach at Honeymoon Island, explore Sarasota’s waterfront, cruise to Marco Island, or tie up in downtown Tampa for a night out, the Leader 10.5 WA is built to handle it all.
Walkaround Design Built for Tampa Bay
The Leader 10.5 WA features a walkaround design that gives you easy, secure access from bow to stern. This makes the boat ideal for families, entertaining, and moving around the deck when anchored at the sandbar or docking along the Intracoastal.
At the bow, you’ll find expansive seating and lounging areas that are perfect for enjoying Florida sunsets or relaxing with friends. The wide cockpit aft is equally versatile, with convertible seating that shifts from dining mode to sunbathing space in seconds. Add in Jeanneau’s signature port-side terrace (beach club platform), and you’ve got a boat that’s tailor-made for Tampa Bay sandbar parties and weekend cruising.
Comfort Below Deck
What sets the Leader 10.5 WA apart from other boats in its class is its spacious split-cabin layout. Below deck, the forward salon transforms into a large V-berth, and an optional aft cabin provides extra sleeping space. Together, the interior comfortably accommodates up to four guests overnight.
The enclosed head with a separate shower ensures privacy, while large side windows flood the cabin with natural light. Whether you’re spending a night in Sarasota or making a weekend run down to Marco Island, this boat offers true comfort for longer adventures.
Helm & Technology
At the helm, the Leader 10.5 WA provides seating for three passengers side by side, with ergonomic bolsters and armrests designed for long days on the water. The dash has room for dual 12″ Garmin touchscreen displays, giving you full control over navigation, engine data, and entertainment.
This thoughtful helm design means you’re not just driving; you’re commanding with confidence, whether running the Gulf or maneuvering into a tight slip along Bayshore or at Tampa’s Convention Center.
Power & Performance
The 2025 Jeanneau Leader 10.5 WA Ultimate Tampa Bay Boat is powered by twin Yamaha F300 outboards, producing a combined 600 horsepower. This package delivers excellent speed, smooth cruising, and reliable efficiency for both short bay trips and longer offshore runs.
Yamaha’s joystick control makes docking easy, even in challenging spots like downtown Tampa or busy Sarasota marinas. With a fuel capacity of 212 gallons, the boat offers the range to comfortably cruise down the Gulf Coast without worrying about frequent fuel stops.
