2019 Jeanneau NC 895

Step into the cockpit and you’ll notice how the sliding aft bench and clever seat backs let you tailor the space from fishing mode to sundowner lounge in seconds. Inside, the helm side door is a game changer, making docking and line handling far less stressful when you’re short-handed. The galley is tucked where it’s actually usable underway, with plenty of counter space and direct sightlines to the cockpit so the cook stays part of the action. Wide, secure side decks and high rails feel reassuring when moving forward in a swell. At night, the separate shower area and solid cabin doors add real privacy, turning weekends aboard into something that feels more like a floating condo than a day boat.

In these waters, conditions can shift quickly from flat calm to choppy, and the NC 895’s sharp entry and substantial wheelhouse keep you dry and comfortable when the breeze comes up. The protected helm with excellent visibility is ideal for running in shoulder seasons, when open boats stay at the dock. Shallow draft lets you tuck into skinny coves and sandbars that deeper cruisers can’t reach, while the twin outboards make it easy to explore farther afield without hunting for fuel every stop. With real overnight accommodations for a family and secure, walkaround decks, this model is perfectly suited to local island chains, winding channels, and long day trips that turn into spontaneous overnights.
