While the fly bridge does offer more seating space and a better view I think not having it would be better for a lot of people. The coupe gives you roof space for solar panels and/or storage. Personally, I would want kayaks or something small to get from the boat to shore in tricky area, shallow coastlines, or some smaller docks. These boats seem mostly too small for a tender, so just thinking of options on a small inflatable and or kayak solution. Do you guys use anything on the 1095?
We have a Takacat 340 LX, which is a light weight inflatable. We use an ePropulsion electric outboard on it. We assemble and store on the roof rack when we are on longer cruises. It weighs 64 lbs, so my wife and I can lift up and down when we want to use it. We do not leave it up full time. This was assembling on board the first time. It only gets easier. Takes less than 15 minutes to assemble. ua-cam.com/video/EjzsJ8kR8fA/v-deo.htmlsi=TvWVFI_6f9r25g3l
Paperwork I have from a marketing book says 12’5”. I will post a screen shot in the posts, since I cannot here. I really enjoy the 1295 space and layout. And, the fit and finish emulates a lot that Jeanneau seems to be implementing in the Series 2 boats.
Hi Dave, Great video!!! Did you get a chance to drive the boat from the salon helm, and if so, what did you think of the sight lines vs. the 1095? I find the 1095s sight lines pretty good, but would love them to be even better. The boat looks very nice. Was the $700,000 you mentioned equipped similar to the boat you tested? If so, and assuming it went coupe in 25, I'm guessing it would be about 100G less, and that's where my direct comparison would kind of start. Melissa has a mobility issue, so the Fly wouldn't work for us. As always, thanks for your input.
Thank you for the encouragement Gary. Did not have a chance to drive from the salon helm, however, the forward window is larger and helm seat a little higher than the 1095. It felt like less bow rise getting on a plane than the 1095, starting to plane more quickly with lower RPM than on the 1095. I do not have the full option list of the 1295 we were on, but a coupe would definitely be less. One thing to note on the 1295 for mobility, the salon is not all one level like the 1095, there are step up from the galley to the main salon seating. Happy to answer any other questions I can.

W❤W! That’s Incredibly Awesome! Have a great week! Cheers!🥂❤️✨
Thank you and we will!
I can’t find the beam of this boat on Jenneau’s website or any of the YT channels I’ve seen. Hmmmmm
