Jeanneau Leader 30 (Gen 2, 2019 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 30 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

The Jeanneau 30 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Jeanneau 30 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 25 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. The Jeanneau 30 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Bavaria Yachts S29 Open which has an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots powered by its 1 x 350hp Mercury MerCruiser 6.2L 350 ECT engines and can reach a top speed of 38 knots. This is closely followed by the Bavaria Yachts S30 Open with a notable cruising speed of 35 knots and top speed of 38 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sealine S330 impresses with its extensive range of 262 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 305 Open and Galeon 335 HTS all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Bavaria Yachts S29 Open is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.
