Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Sport Serie2 Keeps Two-Cabin Adventure Formula

What the latest official material confirms

The current 895 Sport is presented around fishing, diving, kayaking, paddleboarding and other active uses rather than as a conventional enclosed cruiser. Jeanneau's latest imagery identifies the model as Serie2. The latest manufacturer material gives buyers a current reference point rather than relying on older dealer descriptions or archived specifications.

That matters in the fast-moving sub-12-metre market because equipment, engine choices and standard packages can change between model years. Leisure Boat Guide is treating the builder's current specification as the controlling source.

Layout and use on the water

The aft cockpit uses folding seating and generous storage, while an asymmetrical side-deck arrangement creates a deeper, safer passage on the starboard side. Two enclosed double cabins support weekends away. The arrangement is designed around real day-to-day boating rather than simply maximising the number of seats or berths shown on a specification sheet.

For owners, the practical question is how easily people can move, store equipment and change between cruising, swimming, dining or sailing modes. The current layout gives a clear indication of the model's intended use.

Performance and technical package

Jeanneau lists an overall length of 8.83 metres, a beam close to three metres and CE ratings covering both coastal and more demanding use. The practical layout prioritises access and equipment handling. Published figures remain manufacturer specifications and will vary with load, weather, propeller choice, hull condition and optional equipment.

The important point is the balance between power and the boat's intended role. Buyers should compare cruise speed, fuel use, range, maintenance and handling rather than treating top speed as the only meaningful figure.

Why it matters for leisure boat buyers

The 895 Sport appeals to families whose boating revolves around activities rather than formal entertaining. It provides enough shelter and accommodation to extend the season while keeping the working deck flexible. This places the model in a useful part of the market for owners who want capability without moving into the cost, berthing and crewing demands of a much larger yacht.

A sea trial remains essential because ergonomics, visibility and motion cannot be judged fully online. The current official information nevertheless provides a defensible basis for comparing this boat with direct alternatives.
