What is the Jeanneau Leader 12.5 WA?
The Jeanneau Leader 12.5 WA is a 40-foot luxury walkaround motor yacht produced by French builder Jeanneau, part of the prestigious Beneteau Group.

Production history
The Leader 12.5 WA was introduced as part of Jeanneau's modern walkaround line, designed around the triple-outboard layout and Yamaha Helm Master EX joystick integration. The 2022 model year reflects the latest iteration of factory options, including Seakeeper SK3 integration and refined European interior styling.
Who buys this model
Typical buyers are experienced boaters seeking a luxury outboard walkaround that handles offshore conditions while still serving as a comfortable overnight cruiser for two couples. Strong demand in Florida, the Northeast, and Mediterranean markets.
