On board the best £500k flybridge you can buy | Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 sea trial review | MBY

[@simonburrow1198]

This presenter always does a thorough job, probably one of the best great boat and video.

[@Steve-Manchester]

I love Alex as a presenter. He will always be critical of the nuances of a boat but will balance his review. If I ever won the lottery I would trust this guy's judgement.👍

[@jefforceone]

Finally, someone has done a full review of the Merry Fisher 1295 thank you motorboat and yachting and thank you Alex for a very nice review such a fascinating boat

[@loki7441]

A heck of a boat for the price. Personally I'd prefer inboard Diesel. 1200 litres of petrol sloshing about makes me a bit tetchy. A great review by the way. Well edited, you didn't take a breath once through the review. 😄

[@nixen2000]

Great video and a thorough review of the boat. It felt like I got my own guided tour. Well done!

[@troyezell5841]

That is the best laid out set of double cabins I've seen in a compact cruiser. Usually cabin 3 is much more compact than cabin 2, but in this case they are nearly evenly laid out, creating more room for both. I love the layout of the entire boat. Great video!

[@lionelgower6877]

Love that helm-station options for the engines control.

[@joachimemand1687]

I'm playing the game of "what would be my first boat" game a lot and the MF1095/1295 is high up on the list. Only beaten by the recently axed Cranchi Eco Trawler 43. They are not comparable in their markets, only by living area, but it's a very theoretical game anyways :D Great video!

[@johnwoodward4319]

I had a Merry Fisher 795 which was an incredible boat for its size and very capable in rough seas however, this is on another level and very nice indeed.

[@seanlovi8798]

This fella is one thourough reviewer no doubt about it.

[@Muratshayev]

A very interesting boat. Thanks for the great review!

[@lgriestra]

Very good presentation and analysis.

[@nickglossop]

Great boat and another great review.

[@cookiemonster2299]

Great review 👍 Ideal boat for a wknd away. ❤️🇬🇧

[@edvanloon]

Great review mate

[@Nezzer57]

Great value, well designed boat. Amazing value V new Beneteau Antares 12, which is 3ft shorter and 50% more expensive! 👍

[@alexreid4131]

Despite the outboards it reminds me a lot of the Sealine F380.

[@aris9560]

hahaha "A TV bracket" nice one!

[@clifbradley]

Do the curtains not slide all the way over? I'm zhocked that Alex found a 'dayboat' that he actually liked somewhat. Definitely not a Nordic boat and for him to like it....that's something. Plus all the cabins...amazing

[@scubacro5758]

1:45 why? 😂 What is the point of conecting kill cord in middle of cabin

[@PhilbyFavourites]

If only the Solent was always that calm 😩😩😩 Great review, not sure if I heard litres per hour at; fast cruise, economical cruise or displacement cruise?

[@robertlangley1664]

Why wouldn’t they put two 600 Mercury outboards ? On the back end for more torque and top end speed

[@Nick_G7IZR]

Nice. Good VFM too.

[@gkelly34]

Gorgeous 🥰

[@arisgod2749]

I just don't get why not put two 500Rs Mercs instead of the 3 300s.

[@JohannesSebastian]

When do I choose a MF 1295, compared to the Jeanneau NC37?

[@davyvanpoucke8634]

Compared to Sealine F430 ?

[@Captain-Iglo]

Nice boat, but missing a gas-spring captains seat.

[@TheCharlesChen]

Is he only using half the binnacle?

[@markshutt1476]

Considering the price, seems like quite a lot of boat. Maybe not the fit and finish you may want, but you are not paying for that, also. Seems to be just fine for those that don't want, or cannot, pay a million plus and really are more occasional users of their boat.

[@lesliesetchell9669]

Excellent review - but don’t forget the new Beneteau Antares 12….

[@alexsmith3945]

I just tested the Antares 12 in Barcelona. Lots of similarities but actually a very different result. Look out for that very shortly...

[@davidmeek8017]

Aloha; well done! Mahalo

[@ianscott3180]

Doesn't half Bob about when stationary in a calm Solent.

[@Pyth0nym]

Does this boat have AC?

[@WOW-li4uj]

Not really disagreeing, it is a nice boat! But, I would take a 400 Galeon over this one!

[@darthkek1953]

If this could be rigged with diesel outboards it would verge on perfection.

[@stilloutside]

When it rains what happens on the flybridge

[@seikibrian8641]

Unless you've opted for a bimini, you get wet. Or you move below to the enclosed helm.

[@jchill5229]

👍👍👍👍

[@jaffaholland4039]

For the money, for thoes that would not look to.spend weeks on board what a fanastic boat

[@alccad]

Curtain and blind near the fire? 😂

[@trunkmonkey2931]

Needs 3 mercury 600's

[@scottrippon5039]

Riviera 39 open fly....

[@mvcharisma]

Jeanneau’s are just like Bayliners and Sea Rays. They’re all built cheaply with low quality materials and fitment. It’s better to buy a high quality used boat, not something that’s built down to a price

[@opmacace523]

Yes they are built to a price but as long as the hull is decently designed this would be a better choice than some old boats with leaking issues

[@invisibleink2644]

That looks like a pretty rough ride for such calm conditions. I wouldn't wish to be aboard when the weather is less than ideal.

[@christiansymonds]

Do you actually own a boat? Have you owned and operated any of the brands you mentioned? If not, you aren’t qualified to make a statement you can’t back up. My family and I have owned all three and have owned ‘quality’ used boat brands. All have their place, if you want a new boat, these brands offer a lot for your money (boats are never ‘value for money’) as are used boats, all have their pros & cons. New boats now offer really good warranties which can give comfort if anything should go wrong, used boats need a high quality survey to identify potential issues and costs, they will cost money to maintain and repair, boats live in a hostile environment…

[@petermartin4675]

Bad place for a TV , you'll get a stiff neck.

[@morri03]

A very cheaply made boat for non boaters in my view. Look at some of the awful finishing of the seat cushions etc.. I’d also like to see that boat in a head sea it’s not going to have enough torque to handle rougher weather when you need to run at a slow plane, it will keep falling off and need heaps of throttle to get back up. And that’s before you consider how full in the bow it is. Even the chine slap was incredible when he was showing the forward accommodation.

[@guinnessharvey4476]

Jeanneau don’t make bad boats. They’re well put together and they’ll handle a decent chop just fine:)

[@chrisbethmann3955]

It’s screaming for another 300,000 thousand. 3-500, 2-600 mercurys, automatic blinds, vinyl…..

[@morri03]

@@guinnessharvey4476 I didn’t say it was bad I said it was cheaply made. All that MDF, poorly finished furnishings, use of outboards is obviously a polarising choice and beam forward necessarily impacts sea keeping. I get it, it’s a day boat, weekender where you don’t go far and pick your days but that’s not the kind of boat for many people.

[@alcapony4935]

@@morri03Maybe, but for the price, find one better or equal! A lot of people don’t have an extra £300.000+ to spend on better upholstery. I think they’ve done quite a good job at this price.

[@skinny1968]

Outboards don't belong on a cruiser. Swimming is so dangerous around all those props legs etc. Not to mention loss of the swim platform.

[@edvanloon]

Pair of fridges...hahaha

[@alexsmith3945]

Yeah, I spotted that about a month and a half too late!

[@karatejoe5049]

fucking hell 30 minutes

[@RT-np5ws]

Storage!!!!!

[@mikelyon5595]

Lose the flybridge!

[@clifbradley]

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like watching the test drive portions absolutely useless? I don't see a point. It's boring and I know they want to explain how it handles, but unless you are on the boat, you don't really know how you'll like the ride. So show me the yacht, give me your impression and the layout options. All I need really.
