Jeanneau's Merry Fisher 695 Sport uses a compact wheelhouse and open working cockpit to bring several activities into one sub-seven-metre boat. The manufacturer lists a 6.71-metre overall length and a 200-litre fuel capacity for the current model.
A cockpit designed to change use
Removable and folding cockpit seating opens space for fishing gear, dive equipment or a paddleboard. With the seats in place, the same area supports a lunch stop or conversation around the table.
A versatile deck still needs safe, secured stowage while underway. Fishing rods, cylinders and watersports equipment should not block access to the engine or an emergency exit.
A sheltered wheelhouse
The enclosed helm gives the skipper and passengers weather protection on a cool day. Jeanneau's design provides a different seasonal brief from an open centre console with a similar overall hull length.
Visibility through the wheelhouse windows must be checked before departure, including around pillars and when the windscreen is wet. Crew should establish a safe position for approaching a berth.
The practical numbers
The current page lists 2.54 metres of beam, approximately 1,500 kilograms of hull weight, a 50-litre freshwater tank and CE category C for eight. A vessel's maximum load and onboard arrangement need to be checked with the applicable certificate.
The official older brochure quotes a different overall figure with options, so owners should measure and verify the actual installed platform and equipment when planning storage or a berth.
Current-model use
A family might use the boat for a sheltered coastal outing and a fishing group for a working cockpit day. Neither use changes the basic need for weather checks and crew competence.
