These are great vids guys, very instructional. I'm taking notes on all your tips. I'm also in Aus, and have a MF 1095 on order, which is just a stretched version of the 895, so most of your tips applicable to my boat. It was your vids that convinced us to buy a Merry Fisher. We were originally going for the 895, but we decided to go with the 1095 because of the dry head, and the third cabin. Please keep going with the vids, we love em.
Many thanks indeed for your feedback Cameron P S :) We're really pleased you are finding them useful and LOVE the 1095. Yes they are similar as you describe and a fabbbbbbulous boat. I'm always popping a few berths along from us at our Neyland berth and looking at the 1095 that lives there :)) Perhaps Jeanneau will give us one for our brand promotion :)) More films planned and great fun doing them!!
Really great Video. Shows cruising on a motor boat at it’s best. Just a pity there are no more to look forward to! Many thanks for posting and sharing this trip online. Lovely area of coast.
Many thanks as always John it was a lovely trip and yes the coast is just fabbb !! - got some Jeanneau walkthroughs planned but at the moment we’re in the Peak District in the motor home - with all this rain the motor home may become a boat!! :))
Thank you Jose! I’m pleased you are enjoying our videos. We are lucky to be living so close to such wonderful coastal scenery, which we enjoy sharing with you all.
Hahaha many thanks indeed Mark - you always make us laugh and of course never say never!!! We started in one inflatable Sevvylor kayak on the Cleddau Estuary - only paddling with the tide!! :))
Many thanks indeed Andrew and the Marlin is a fantastic boat. We are hoping to do some walkthroughs of other Jeanneaus in the future and that is on the list!!
Awww many thanks Les and so glad you enjoyed the film. Yes it' is a wonderful coast line and we do pinch ourselves, regularly, to make sure we still live here :))
Hi guys , just come across your channel. Really enjoying it . We get a Merry Fisher 695 in May and are really looking forward to trips out . Carry on the great channel ! And thank you 👍
What an amazing coastline - hopefully we’re moving from London to the Vale next year…..wife’s from Llantwit Major…..and we’ll be shopping for a new boat - the 795 S2 and 895 are on the list…..
That sounds a great move - we did Warwickshire to Pembrokeshire and love it!😁 try both out before you decide! Daniel Yeates is your man at BHG Marine, Lymington - he was a great source of information and a pleasure to deal with! ☀️
Another Great Video Bob and Nicky. Lovely stretch of coast and good weather at last. Great to have tips on the mattress toppers and clothes pegs! Any other tips on bits and pieces to make life aboard more comfortable are always appreciated. Just one thought for you to consider. It would have been great to have started with your passage plan on the chart plotter. Then it would have made it easier to understand the scenery shots. Just a thought. Looking forward to your next video and many thanks for all your time filming and editing it. Regards to you both.
Many thanks John and yes it is a fabbb part of the world. Yes good idea re the plotter, we'll use that in our next trip film and your thoughts are always welcome as we progress. Kind regards to you John :))
At Barafundle bay, why did you anchor so far out..? Your boat doesn’t have that much drought.. so wondering why you didn’t go closer in..? Possibly gone for a swim..
Lovely boat, great weather. Bit jealous. Been looking at the 795 for the family. FWI, the big fish you caught is a Scad or Horse Mackerel I'm sure, not a bass. The first one you identified as a bass was correct. Better than anything I've caught this year though!
Many thanks for that Andrew and as a beginner fisherman any input like that is most welcome - I’ll look that one up!! 😁🦈. The 795 was a fabulous boat and really good fun too - fingers crossed you make it happen 😁🚤
Hi. Nice boats. I have a question about the heating in the cabins. Is it possible to close the heating in the cabins while heating the saloon? I like to sleep in a cold room if you understand.
Great video, thank you. Your boat is superb, congrats. As former owners of Merry Fisher 795, do you think it would be sufficiently comfortable for similar weekend trips?
Many thanks for your feedback Darijo. Yes we had slept overnight in our 795 and found that comfortable too. It has enough space easily for 2 plus food/cupboard storage and fridge space so could easily do that same trip we did with the 895. Good weather planning and lots of sunshine would make it even better!!! :))
Nice video Bob - couple of questions - do you have a generator on board to keep the fridge etc running when moored up? Also - what do you do with the fish to keep them for latter eating and without making your boat stink like a trawler ? Cracking couple of days for you both though. Phil
Hi Phil and many thanks for watching. We don’t have a generator so the boat is running on the 2 ‘house batteries’ when stationary and engines off. The third battery, the engines battery, charges those first two whilst running and our shore power lead keeps all batteries topped up when we’re berthed. You can periodically check the battery levels as inevitably they lose the ability to recharge - gradually over time. I’m not sure of the expected life of the house batteries - I’ll find out and let you know - good question!! For the fish I bought a sealable fish bag - this was it …. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MJ0NLW8/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_glt_fabc_WY08WQJYQ398F78DJ5A6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I also taught myself to fillet fish on a You Tube film or two so can put them in a Tupperware box in the fridge too once filleted - those click lock type boxes. The bag is great for whole fish 😁
@@PowerboatingAdventures Thanks Bob - glad the batteries were able to keep the fridge / lights etc running ok - looked a great trip and very fortunate sea conditions.
Great video, gives me some good ideas for my similar/older beneteau 8.8. I see you have not got a generator, so what did you use for heating? Is it built in and battery powered then?
Hi Charlie, it is a great boat and we have another film on the channel about that very subject. Have a look at this and you have any further questions don’t hesitate to ask :) The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895 - Speed Test and Fuel Usage
@@PowerboatingAdventures Do you have any idea of the percentage of fuel used on this trip, or the range of an 895 offshore at 22knts (most efficient cruise) please?
Thanks for watching and there are twin 300 litre tanks so the 600 litre total would of course depend on speed!! At 1000rpm speed would be about 6 knots and range 383 nautical miles whereas at the other end of the scale at say 6000 rpm the range drops to 148 nm’s burning 150 litres an hour of fuel!! A big variation!!
Hi Lumaca and many thanks. Yes the boat would certainly be ok for 2 adults and two children. Plenty of sleeping options for you and yes you could do a week no problems. ☀️🚤
Thanks for your question 63melvyn and no you wouldn’t need a survey as the dealer/maker are supplying you with the manufacturer’s warranty which will cover any build issues that may come to light. Always worth a good look round to make sure doors and cupboards close properly, windows close properly, things are as you’d expect from a new product but the main structural issues are covered by your warranty, as are any minor defects that might come to light in your first months of ownership. Check the exact terms of that warranty with your dealer, take a thorough look through the boat before signing and ask a million questions of them if you’re unsure! 😁 If you’re in the UK then Daniel Yeates at BHG marine in Lymington, is REALLY good at explaining the whole process and is super fast at answering any questions that may arise during the purchase process. Hope that helps ☀️👍
Salut Jeremy, J'espère que ce texte se traduit bien !!! Merci d'avoir regardé le film et ce voyage particulier a utilisé 256 litres d'essence, soit environ 2,6 litres par NM pour ce voyage.

Hi Bob & Nicky,
I was thinking this can't get any better and then the bacon started sizzling😀 Fantastic vid, thanks for the tour.
All the best,

Hahahaha fantastic - that’s made us laugh 😍
Excellent, just ordered those rail clips ;-)
Many thanks Cyrus and good choice!! :)

Just ordered MF 795 with a 225 Merc in the last few days and looking forward to similar adventures.
Fantastic Steve and you will have a fabbbb time - a great MF!!
Brilliant video just to let you know that the bigger fish was a scad not a bass just thought I'd let you know for future reference 👍
Many thanks indeed Matthew - you can tell I’m a beginner 😁
Many thanks for your feedback too, much appreciated!!
At Barafundle bay, why did you anchor so far out..? Your boat doesn’t have that much drought.. so wondering why you didn’t go closer in..? Possibly gone for a swim..
I think we were just tied on the buoy there - lazy option probably 😀😂👍
