Meet The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 795

The Merry Fisher range has earned its reputation as a top seller, and the new Jeanneau Merry Fisher 795 takes it to the next level. Building on an already successful formula, Jeanneau has refined and enhanced the design, adding just the right touches to make this model stand out even more.

The 795 keeps things fresh while delivering the performance and practicality the brand is known for. With over 3,000 units (including variants) produced globally, it’s clear this model is a favourite among boating enthusiasts. The Merry Fisher 795 offers generous space, rugged durability, smart design, and a full suite of features, making it a standout choice in the market.

Spacious Cockpit for Relaxed Outdoor Living

One of the standout features of the Merry Fisher 795 is its spacious cockpit aft. It features a comfortable U-shaped lounge that wraps around the transom and port side, even extending across the recess for the signature sliding rear door.

Finished with high-quality, durable cushions secured neatly with clips and tie-downs, the seating area is perfect for socialising, dining, or simply relaxing. A removable table sits at the centre of the space and easily converts into a sun lounge with the help of support poles and extra cushions.

Captain’s Comfort and Visibility

The helm station is designed for ease and comfort. Offering nearly 360-degree visibility, thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass doors and wide windows, the driving experience is both safe and enjoyable. A comfortable, single bolster seat places all controls within easy reach.

Just ahead of the helm is a compact toilet (head) with a sink and storage cupboard, making overnight stays more convenient and comfortable.

Light-Filled Cabin with Panoramic Views

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a bright, airy cabin. Large surrounding windows, an overhead sliding sunroof, and the rear sliding glass door allow natural light to flood in, giving a real sense of space. Multiple windows open for airflow, letting a cool breeze flow through on warm days.

Compact Yet Functional Galley

The galley is neatly positioned on the starboard side, just behind the helm. Though compact, it’s fully equipped with:

  • A single-burner gas stove

  • Sink with pop-up faucet

  • Storage cupboards

  • A fridge located beneath the driver’s seat

There’s also extra storage behind the cooking area, making meal prep and cleanup a breeze while at sea.

Clever Dining and Seating Arrangement

Opposite the galley is a well-thought-out saloon and dining space. The seating includes a foldable passenger seat that can face forward when underway, or convert into part of the dining area at anchor. The heavy timber table sits in the middle of two inward-facing bench seats and comfortably accommodates four people.

At night, this area can also be transformed into a guest sleeping space by dropping the table and rearranging the cushions.

Optional Features for Enhanced Usability

  • Bow Thruster: Optional for those needing extra maneuverability in tight berths. The switch panel is conveniently placed to the left of the helm.

  • Extended Swim Platforms: A must-have for families. These increase deck space and offer a great area for kids to play safely or access the water for swimming.

  • Hot and Cold Shower: Located at the rear on the starboard side for refreshing rinses after a swim or long day at sea.

Comfortable Overnight Accommodation

Below deck, the forward berth features warm timber veneer finishes and a generously sized bed—perfect for a few nights away. A roof hatch allows for natural ventilation, and large portholes along the hull flood the cabin with light. There’s also ample under-bed storage and a small cupboard for personal belongings.

Performance: Built for Cruising, Not Racing

The Merry Fisher 795 is designed with cruising in mind. With a 200 hp engine, she can comfortably reach up to 30 knots, offering reliable power for exploring and relaxed coastal cruising.

The hull includes running strakes and a reverse chine for improved spray deflection and stability. While not a high-speed performance vessel, the 795 offers:

  • Smooth and predictable planning

  • Impressive cornering with a soft lean

  • Minimal spray when crossing its own wake

  • Trim sensitivity, which can be fine-tuned with trim controls or an alternate prop

At rest, the hull remains stable, ensuring peaceful nights anchored in quiet bays.

Final Thoughts: A Perfect Family Cruiser

The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 795 is built with purpose and precision. Every detail—from space optimisation to comfort-focused features—has been thoughtfully designed by Jeanneau’s expert team. It’s compact enough to be easily manageable, yet spacious and well-equipped enough for extended weekends on the water.

Whether you’re entertaining on deck, cruising along the coast, or enjoying a peaceful overnight stay, the Merry Fisher 795 delivers a versatile boating experience that punches well above its size.
