Great boat! My pet peeve with these smaller boats is that why is the space-wasting cabinet necessary in the bathroom? For God sakes, what do you need to store there? Get rid of the cabinet on the right, recess the floor slightly and put in a shower curtain, so now you have a dry head with a proper shower. Put in a wall-mounted tiny sink somewhere, heck even on the shower area wall and save a lot of space. Have a wall shelf, mini cabinet, or rack above the toilet for the bathroom tissue, hand towel, toothpaste, etc. That's all you need in there. If you need anything else in there, you have issues, store it in your ditty bag in the berths.

Very Nice boat I like Very much
Wyatt about thé price

[@Roberto-mb4qf]

Why no any shoulder ?

[@jonreyes7271]

Is this a boat that would be suited for crossing the English Channel, maybe even some more adventurous North Sea journeys? What's its limit?
I appreciate in perfect conditions a small SIB can do those things, but realistically, is this a boat you'd expect to be able to do those without absolutely perfect conditions?

The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 s2 is rated CE Category C (inshore) for 10 people and B (offshore) for 6 people. We have multiple customers who undertake crossings to France or to the Channel Islands.

@@morganmarineuk That's super helpful, thank you for replying!

[@irishakita1782]

do you need a license for the boat ? might be a stupid question 😂

I’m not sure the interior design of the boat suits my taste, it’s utilitarian rather than tasteful. I do like some of the features, the bed that allows a side entry, turning captains chair, single glass front window.

100% agree. Really like some of the smart design features , but the utilitarian finishes seems a bit disconnected for the price you pay.
