Right from the start, Jeanneau’s new Merry Fisher 1295 feels like a distinctly modern boat. True, it’s a name that’s been around for decades and the idea of a boat that inhabits that overlap between fisher and family cruiser is hardly avant garde. But just look at the evidence. This is a 41ft flybridge-equipped motor yacht with a trio of 300hp V6 outboards on the transom. It comes with a drop-down bulwark, sliding furniture, a step-through side gate, an offset pilothouse and an aft galley with alfresco bar. With lots of outdoor entertaining zones alongside six-berth accommodation and a big internal saloon, it also does a great job of stealing some thunder from the ultra-stylish new breed of dayboat/cruiser hybrids that come in at this kind of length. Yet in stark contrast to that sector, it brings its talents to market at a price that’s very much in line with Merry Fisher’s no-nonsense heritage.
