2016 Jeanneau Merry Fisher 855

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Jeanneau squeezed big-boat livability into a footprint that still sneaks into shallow coves and smaller slips. Wide, secure side decks and tall rails make moving forward to handle lines or enjoy the sunset feel easy and safe. Inside, the clever convertible dinette lets you shift from family mealtime to extra berth in minutes, while large windows and sliding doors keep the cabin bright and connected to the water. Below, the two-cabin layout offers genuine privacy for overnight guests or kids. Add in practical touches like abundant storage, sliding helm side door, and cockpit seating that reconfigures for fishing, lounging, or dining, and you’ve got a remarkably versatile weekender.

This Merry Fisher 855 is particularly well-suited to local waters where conditions can swing from glassy mornings to choppy afternoon seas. The hull design and twin outboards deliver confident handling in short, steep chop while still floating shallow enough for sandbars and back-bay exploring. Air conditioning and an enclosed wheelhouse turn steamy days or sudden squalls into non-events, so you can comfortably extend the season. The protected helm with excellent visibility is ideal for navigating busy channels and tight marina fairways, while the generous cockpit and swim platforms make it easy to shift from cruising to snorkeling, towing water toys, or dropping a line when the bite is on.
