About Jeanneau

Jeanneau, founded in France in 1957, builds sailboats and motorboats sold all over the world. The Merry Fisher range is one of Europe’s most popular families of outboard cabin boats, and the Cap Camarat range covers fast, sporty day boats.

Layout and Who It Suits

The Marlin versions of the Merry Fisher keep the cabin but give more space to fishing, with a bigger cockpit, recessed side decks and fishing equipment built in. The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin works for anglers and for families.

Couples and families

Enough space for a crew of friends or a family day out.

Weekends aboard

Berths, a galley and a toilet for a night or two away.

Water sports

Swim platforms and outboard power for towing.

Serious fishing

Built-in fishing equipment and a second helm.

Engine and Performance

The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale is designed for outboard power, with a maximum of single 350 hp or twin 2 x 250 hp. We confirm the engine fitted to this boat, its hours and its service history before you pay. Outboards keep the interior free of engine boxes, are easy to service and can be lifted clear of the water when moored, which reduces fouling and corrosion. If you want to compare engines, see our Yamaha and other outboards.

How the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale Handles

The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin planes easily and runs smoothly to the fishing grounds. At rest it is stable, so anglers can move around the cockpit safely. Trim the engine and use trim tabs where fitted to get the best ride for the conditions.

Understanding the CE Design Category

Boats sold in Europe carry a CE design category that shows the conditions they are built for. Category C covers inshore waters, large lakes and estuaries in winds up to force 6 and waves up to about 2 metres. Category B covers offshore conditions up to force 8. The category is shown on the builder’s plate together with the maximum number of people. The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin is rated B for 6 people, C for 10.

Life Aboard

Spending a night aboard the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin is simple. Fill the water tank, stock the galley, check the gas or cooker, and bring bedding for the berths. Ventilate the cabin well and keep hatches open on warm nights. Pack light and stow everything securely before you get under way.

Galley, Heads and Water

The fresh water tank holds 100 L. Use water sparingly on longer trips and refill whenever you can. Learn how the toilet works before your first trip, and follow local rules on holding tanks and discharge. Keep the galley simple: one-pot meals and a cooler go a long way on a boat.

Fuel and Range

The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale carries 350 L of fuel. Outboards are most efficient at a steady cruising speed rather than flat out. Plan trips with a third of the tank in reserve, and check fuel availability at your destination.

Your First Trip

Pick a calm day and stay close to home while you learn the boat. Practise docking, turning and stopping, find the safety gear and test the bilge pumps, lights and electronics. Brief your crew on how to move around safely and where to hold on. Confidence comes quickly.

Docking and Mooring

Approach slowly, ideally into the wind or current. Prepare fenders and lines before you arrive and assign jobs to your crew. Use short bursts of throttle. Side doors and wide side decks on many Merry Fisher and Antares models make it easy for the skipper to step out and handle lines. Practice makes it easy.

Looking After the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale

• Rinse the boat and flush the engine with fresh water after salt water trips.
• Service the outboard on schedule: oil, filters, gear oil, impeller.
• Check bilge pumps, batteries and navigation lights before each trip.
• Clean and dry the cabin and air the cushions.
• Antifoul the hull if the boat stays in the water.
• Wax the gelcoat and protect stainless fittings.

Winter Lay-Up

Lift the boat out if winters are harsh. Stabilise the fuel, service and fog the engine, drain the water system, remove or charge the batteries, clean and dry the interior and fit a breathable cover. A well laid up boat is ready to go in spring.

Safety Equipment

Carry life jackets for everyone, a throwable buoy, fire extinguishers, flares, a first aid kit, an anchor with enough rode, a VHF radio and a means of navigation. Requirements depend on the country and the distance from shore. Check the rules where you will use the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin.

Registration, Licences and Insurance

Rules differ by country. Many require registration, some require a licence to drive a boat of this size or power, and most marinas require insurance. Keep the builder’s certificate, CE declaration and bill of sale together. We provide all the paperwork for the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale.

Where to Keep It

Most owners keep a boat like the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin in a marina berth or on a swing mooring during the season, and ashore or in dry storage over winter. Boats of this size need a heavy trailer and a suitable tow vehicle if you plan to trailer them.

Upgrades Worth Considering

Popular additions include a chartplotter upgrade, an electric windlass, a cockpit cover or canopy, a bow thruster on larger boats, solar panels and a diesel heater for a longer season. Ask us about adding equipment before delivery.

Comparing the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin With Similar Boats

Jeanneau’s range covers the Merry Fisher cabin boats, the fishing focused Merry Fisher Marlin versions and the sporty Cap Camarat day boats. Merry Fishers suit cruising families, Marlins suit anglers who also want a cabin, and Cap Camarats suit fast day trips and water sports. The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale is a good choice if its size and layout match how you plan to use the boat.

Hull and Build Quality

Jeanneau builds with fiberglass hulls and decks designed for European coastal waters, and certifies its boats to the CE standards. Look for solid fittings, tidy wiring and good drainage when you inspect the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale. Those details show how a boat was built and how it has been cared for.

Anchoring and Overnight Stays

One of the joys of a boat like the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin is anchoring in a quiet bay for the night. Choose a sheltered spot, check the forecast for wind shifts, let out plenty of rode and set the anchor firmly. An anchor alarm on your phone or plotter gives peace of mind.

Boating With Children

Fit everyone with a properly sized life jacket, keep younger children in the cockpit while under way and agree simple rules before leaving. The cabin of the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin is a great place for children to rest out of the sun.

Weather and Trip Planning

Check the marine forecast before every trip and plan around wind and tide. Stay within the CE category of the boat. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back, and carry enough fuel to return with a reserve. The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale is safest and most enjoyable when trips are planned with care.

Batteries and Electrical System

Most cabin boats have separate engine and house batteries with a selector switch. Turn it off when you leave the boat, keep terminals clean and use a charger when on shore power. Check that navigation lights work before evening trips. A healthy electrical system keeps the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin reliable.

Upholstery and Interior Care

Wipe cushions with a marine vinyl cleaner, air the cabin regularly and use moisture absorbers when the boat is closed up. Cover the cockpit when not in use. Sun and damp are the biggest enemies of any boat interior.

Salt Water Care

After every salt water trip, flush the outboard, rinse the deck, windows and fittings with fresh water, and dry stainless steel to prevent staining. Check and replace anodes when half worn. A few minutes of care keeps the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale looking good for years.

Running Costs

Budget for fuel, the annual engine service, mooring or storage, insurance, antifouling and routine maintenance. Outboard power keeps service simple and affordable. Looking after the boat well protects its value.

A Perfect Weekend

A typical weekend with the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale might include an early start at the fishing grounds, lunch at anchor and an afternoon cruise with the family. It is the kind of boat that gets used often.

Resale Value

Jeanneau boats are well known across Europe and beyond, which helps resale. Keep service records, look after the interior and store the boat well, and the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin will be easy to sell when you move up.

Buying for Charter or Business

Boats like the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin are popular with charter companies, sea schools and tour operators. If you plan commercial use, check local rules on coding and crew qualifications. Ask us for a combined quote if you need more than one boat.

3. You confirm the order and payment terms.
4. We prepare the boat and arrange transport.
5. You receive the boat with all paperwork.

Choosing the Right Size

Think about your usual crew, the waters you use and where you will keep the boat. A smaller boat is easier to handle, cheaper to berth and simpler to tow. A larger one carries more people, more fuel and more comfort for nights aboard. The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale at 8.56 m (28 ft 2 in) sits in the sweet spot for many owners. Tell us how you plan to use it and we will give you an honest view.

Survey, Sea Trial and Inspection

For any boat purchase, a survey and a sea trial give you peace of mind. A surveyor checks the hull, deck, fittings, electrics and safety gear. A sea trial shows how the boat and engine perform. We are happy to arrange inspections of the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale or send detailed photos and videos if you are buying from abroad.

Outboard or Inboard?

Outboard boats like the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin have big advantages: more interior space, lighter weight, easy engine access and the ability to tilt the engine out of the water when moored. Engines can be serviced or replaced without lifting the boat apart. Inboards have their place on bigger yachts, but for this size outboards are the practical choice.

Electronics and Navigation

A chartplotter with up to date charts, a depth sounder and a VHF radio are the essentials. Ask us what electronics are fitted to this boat; upgrades are easy to add. Learn your equipment on dry land before relying on it at sea.

Tips for New Skippers

If you are new to boating, take a powerboat course; many countries require one for a boat of this size. Start with short trips in good weather, learn the rules of the road and buoyage, and build up experience gradually. The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale is a forgiving boat to learn on, and confidence comes quickly.

Trailering

At this size the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin is usually moved by a specialist transporter rather than a family car, but a heavy duty trailer makes winter storage and occasional moves easier. Check the combined weight of boat, engine, fuel and trailer against your tow rating.

Pre-Delivery Checks

Before the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale leaves, the engine is run, systems are tested and the hull and interior are inspected. We send you photos so you know exactly what you are getting and what to expect on delivery day.

Cockpit Living

Most of the time on a boat is spent in the cockpit. On the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale it is the place for meals, sunbathing, fishing and watching the world go by. Add cushions and a table for lunch, a canopy or bimini for shade, and a cool box within reach. A well organised cockpit makes every trip more relaxed.

Moving Around Safely on Deck

Use handrails and grab rails whenever you move forward, keep one hand for the boat and wear non-slip shoes. Teach your crew to step onto the boat from the swim platform or side door rather than jumping. On the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale, rails and recessed side decks make moving forward to anchor or moor safer than on many boats of this size.

Storage Aboard

Good storage keeps a boat tidy and safe. Use cockpit lockers for fenders, lines and water toys, cabin lockers for clothes and bedding, and the anchor locker for ground tackle. Keep safety gear where everyone can find it. Pack soft bags rather than hard cases, because they fit lockers more easily aboard the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 Marlin for sale.
