2021 Jeanneau 895

Step through the cockpit door and you’ll notice how the wide side decks, deep freeboard, and tall bow rails make moving forward feel secure, even when the water’s lumpy. The sliding glass doors and opening side windows turn the wheelhouse into a breezy sunroom on calmer days, then button up tight when the weather turns. At the helm, the excellent sightlines, bow visibility, and responsive controls make close-quarters maneuvering surprisingly relaxed. Down below, the separate shower space and generous storage let you pack for longer weekends without tripping over gear. Thoughtful touches like the convertible salon seating and cockpit bench that flips to face aft fishing or forward cruising keep everyone comfortable, no matter how you use the boat.

This 895 is ideally suited to waters where conditions can change from flat calm to choppy in an afternoon. The sharp entry and weight distribution help it slice through wind chop while keeping spray off the windshield, and the enclosed pilothouse means you’re not at the mercy of sudden squalls or cool evenings. Shallow draft and outboard power let you tuck into protected coves, beaches, and smaller marinas that deeper boats can’t reach. With two private cabins and a bright galley up, it’s easy to spend full weekends exploring nearby islands and sheltered inlets, then comfortably run home at a brisk cruising speed when the window in the weather appears.
