Perhaps you are interested in purchasing a Jeanneau sailboat, but you do not really know how to approach it? Where to purchase a new boat, how to proceed, and who to trust?
Follow the guide: in this article, we will discuss various steps in the process of making your future purchase. We will accompany you, from your initial discovery of various models to your first cruises!
Get to Know Jeanneau Sailboats
Perhaps you have encountered a Jeanneau that caught your attention: strolling down the dock, in a harbour, at an anchorage… Generally, it all starts that way!
But it is in learning to distinguish the various boats within our sailboat range, and in comparing them, that you can identify which boat is best adapted to your plans. For this first step in the process of making your purchase, we offer multiple possibilities.
Discover the Full Range of Jeanneau Sailboats Online
First, on our website, Jeanneau.com, you can view the full range of new Jeanneau sailboats. Sun Odyssey, Jeanneau Yachts, Sun Fast… models from each of our sailboat lines are presented in detail.
Visit and Tour Jeanneau Sailboats
After your initial search, the next step will be to discover our sailboats up close. For this, you can:
- Contact one of our approved dealers to benefit from expert advice on your plans, tour available models at the dealership, and progress in making your decision.
- Visit a national or international boat show – to meet with our crew, discover our boats and our new models, and, if you like, meet and talk with Jeanneau owners. Each year, we participate in major events: the Cannes Boat Show, the La Rochelle Boat Show, the Paris Boat Show, the Barcelona Boat Show, the Genoa Boat Show…
- Participate in an exclusive Jeanneau event – for example, Jeanneau Private Days at the Jeanneau shipyard in Cholet, in the French Department of Vendée.
Charter a Jeanneau Sailboat
Having done your research, with your selection determined, we advise you to charter the recent model that you prefer. By chartering for a day, several days, or several weeks, you can ensure that the model is a perfect fit with your plans.

At this stage, you must have a precise idea of which sailboat model you want. Within our extensive network of approved Jeanneau dealers, in France and internationally, one of our dealers will be responsible for assisting you.

From there, your Jeanneau dealer will become your preferred contact, accompanying you through each step in the process of making your purchase, until you take delivery of your sailboat.
Schedule a Sea Trial
With a Jeanneau Sea Trial, you will take the helm of the model you have preselected, in real conditions. From our point of view, this is an indispensable step, particularly if you have never had the chance to charter your chosen model: from this moment on the water, you will evaluate the behaviour and handling of the boat, her onboard comforts, fit and finish...
While under way, your Jeanneau representative will be present to answer all your questions.
Configure Your Boat
Our crew have placed at your disposal multiple tools and services to assist you with creating your boat: the one that perfectly suits your plans. At this step in the process of making your purchase, you will have the ability to personalise your Jeanneau.
