New Jeanneau Merry Fisher 795: What UK Buyers Should Know About The Latest Weekender

The current Merry Fisher 795 Series 2 is a compact outboard weekender designed for family coastal cruising and short overnight trips. Burton Waters currently advertises on-the-water pricing from £80,969, although the final price depends on engine choice, trim level and optional equipment. With an overall length of 8.14m, one cabin and four berths, it sits in the part of the Jeanneau range where day boating starts to become practical weekend cruising.

What is new about the Series 2?

Jeanneau describes the Series 2 as having a redesigned hull with a versatile traditional V shape. The cockpit includes U-shaped seating that converts into a sundeck, while the interior provides a galley, storage and an enclosed head compartment. Hot water is available as an option rather than being standard equipment. A coupé door makes boarding easier, and the enclosed wheelhouse provides useful protection for UK boating outside the warmest summer months. Our guide to the Merry Fisher range explains where the 795 sits within the wider line-up.

The key specifications

Burton Waters lists a cruising speed of around 27.1 knots and an indicative cruising range of 150 miles, based on specified test conditions and the largest engine option. Actual speed and range will vary with engine, load, sea state, hull condition and driving style. The relatively shallow draft and modest air draft can make the model suitable for a mixture of coastal, estuary and some inland cruising, subject to local navigation restrictions. Buyers considering inland use should also read our guide to buying a Jeanneau for the Broads.

How does it suit UK boating?

The enclosed wheelhouse is one of the 795's strongest practical features for British conditions, allowing owners to cruise comfortably when the weather is cooler or unsettled. A petrol outboard also changes the ownership picture compared with diesel-powered inboard boats. The red diesel duty changes that affect many diesel-powered craft do not apply to petrol in the same way. For destination ideas, see our guide to the best British boating locations.

Merry Fisher 795 or 795 Sport?

The standard 795 Series 2 is positioned as a comfortable wheelhouse weekender, while the Sport version places more emphasis on outdoor and activity-focused use. Our 795 Sport walk through explains the differences in more detail. New Jeanneau boats benefit from a three-year general manufacturer's warranty and a ten-year structural warranty on the hull and deck, subject to Jeanneau's maintenance and warranty conditions.

Where does it sit in the range?

The 795 is aimed at buyers who want more overnight capability than a pure day boat without moving into a much larger cruiser. That helps explain why Merry Fishers are popular with UK families. For more accommodation, the Merry Fisher 895 Series 2 offers two cabins. Buyers considering larger luxury motor yachts can also compare the Prestige F4.3 and Prestige F5.7. Before ordering, it is also worth comparing new versus used boats.
