French boat-maker Jeanneau has added an all-new model to its Merry Fisher line for 2025, announcing a new coupe flagship, the Merry Fisher 1295 Coupe. Flagship versions for Cap Caramat 10.5 WA and 12.5 WA were also unveiled, as well as several key updates to its Merry Fisher 895 Sport Series 2.
The new range will be on-show at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival In September, and will be available in Asia.
Sleek New Looks for Cap Camarat
One element giving new identity to the flagships Cap Camarat 10.5 WA and 12.5 WA is an optional tinted, stylised high windscreen intended to offer extreme protection from wind and inclement weather, even at high speeds, the brand said.
But the line has also received a few additional design flourishes, including doors to the exterior galley, which are now white, seatbacks adorned with the brand’s chrome logo, and handrails now in black to underpin the line’s sporty image.
The line also welcomes new sand-tone oak wood, to add brightness and warmth to the Cap Camarat Walk Around and Center Console models, from September 2024.
Merry Fisher 895 Sport Series 2
For the second-generation version of the Merry Fisher 895 Sport comes a reimagining of the space. A hull overhaul offers extra driving comfort and fast planing starting at intermediate speeds, while a large modular aft cockpit has been included in the new model with marine activities and water sports in mind.
Inside the cruiser, the interior galley at deck level has shifted aft, closer to the cockpit and the exterior living space. Changes to the owner’s cabin include a sliding door that allows easy access to a double berth and additional storage.
Grey walnut wood and Corian counters are among some of the upgrades in high-quality materials, and a new vanity space has been installed in the boat’s bathroom.
Introducing: Merry Fisher 1295 Coupe
With three cabins and two head compartments, the new 40ft coupe model features all the elements that made the Merry Fisher 1295 a desirable choice – large, bright windows in the hull, a forward owner’s cabin with separate shower, and two guest cabins. Twin berths or one large berth are available.
A U-shaped galley opens onto the cockpit, which features side terraces that can be lowered to and open to starboard, expanding the space.
Jeanneau said the coupe was born out of market demand and that the family cruiser maintains all the key strengths of the line – its modular design, space, and clever layouts. Its inclusion in the Merry Fisher Weekender line is intended to move the brand further upmarket.
Controls are inspired by larger craft, with a joystick control, genset and gyroscopic stabiliser.
The Merry Fisher 1295 Coupe will debut in France, in October, at the Grand Pavois la Rochelle boat show, and will be available to view in Cannes.
