A broad Jeanneau line-up at Ataköy Marina
Jeanneau has published the model list for its Bosphorus Boat Show display at Ataköy Marina, Istanbul, where the event runs from 17 through 25 October 2026. Its selection covers a new power catamaran and several familiar leisure-cruising families, creating a useful comparison for visitors interested in motorboating below twenty-four metres.
The listed boats are the TH38, Cap Camarat 9.0 CC, Merry Fisher 795, Merry Fisher 895, Merry Fisher 1295 Coupé and Merry Fisher 895 Sport. They address different preferences, from open-deck recreation to overnight cruising and a more substantial enclosed living arrangement.
The event gives Turkish owners a chance to speak directly with the manufacturer’s representatives about available configurations, after-sales support and how each design suits the local waters. A static viewing is a practical start, but a sea trial is still important before committing to a particular model.
TH38 adds multihull thinking to the powerboat display
The TH38 is the power-catamaran model in Jeanneau’s published selection, setting it apart from the conventional single-hull layouts displayed nearby. Power multihulls can offer broad beam and substantial deck area for their length, though this also changes berth requirements and how the vessel handles in close quarters.
Potential buyers should consider the actual berth width needed and the availability of suitable marina spaces in destinations they frequently use. The greater apparent stability of a catamaran at rest does not remove the need to assess wave response, trim and sea-keeping for the intended cruising profile.
Jeanneau identifies the TH38 as new within the show line-up, but visitors should not confuse that description with an announcement that the vessel is first launching at this event. Exact status, engine arrangements and locally available equipment should be obtained from the manufacturer.
Merry Fisher cruisers address the family market
Four Merry Fisher variants are expected at Istanbul: the 795, 895, 1295 Coupé and 895 Sport. The range lets buyers consider an enclosed family boat, a more spacious overnight cruiser and a sportier arrangement without leaving the same stand.
The Merry Fisher 1295 Coupé is the largest of those listed and is likely to attract visitors whose use involves multi-night cruising and more extensive onboard facilities. Buyers should compare actual cabin arrangement, cockpit versatility, service access and the ability to handle the yacht with their normal crew.
The 895 Sport points in another direction, placing greater emphasis on deck utility for active boating, while the conventional 895 offers a different balance of family accommodation and outdoor leisure space. The difference is often more meaningful in day-to-day ownership than a simple list of engines or maximum speeds.
Cap Camarat and practical ownership checks
The Cap Camarat 9.0 CC provides a centre-console alternative for owners who favour open-air day trips and flexible access to swimming and watersports. Like other open-deck boats, it should be evaluated in the light of the conditions and passenger loads the owner expects to encounter.
Jeanneau encourages visitors to contact dealers to request an invitation for the Istanbul event, and confirmed show access is worth arranging before travelling. Prospective owners should bring practical questions about engine servicing, trailer or berth dimensions, fuel reserves and any equipment suited to their intended use.
The breadth of this line-up is a reminder that the leisure motorboat market serves more than one type of owner. A well-chosen boat should support the trips people genuinely make rather than merely offering the highest specification or the largest cabin on a show brochure.
