Jeanneau has once again pushed the boundaries of nautical innovation with the launch of its Merry Fisher 1295 Fly. Inspired by the success of the Merry Fisher 1095, this new model boasts an impressive 40 feet and three 300 hp outboard engines. Designed in collaboration with Centowski & Denert Design Studio, the Merry Fisher 1295 Fly features a new hull optimized for this outboard power, allowing cruising speeds between 20 and 22 knots.

One of the main features of this model is the optimization of space thanks to the off-center engine at the stern and the lateral positioning of the fuel tanks. This innovative design offers spacious cabins, a generous cockpit and three large outdoor living areas, including a true forward cockpit.

Versatile and suitable for family cruising, this model lends itself equally well to fishing trips, weekends at anchor or longer cruises with all the comfort expected on board. Although outboard engines are becoming ever more powerful, and units are growing in size, the lack of competition in this 40-foot fly segment leaves the field wide open for the manufacturer.
