Often we are enjoying the water so much on Sweetest Thing, our Jeanneau NC 1095, we don't film and just decompress. I have plans of shooting video on boat trips, but, instead, focus on enjoying the trip and being together in beautiful spots. The mission of Echo Zulu Cruising is to make boating accessible and provide practical tips. And tip #1 is use the damn boat.

Ft Lauderdale International Boat Show is October 30-November. I am excited to stop by the @JeanneauAmerica display to see the boat on Dock H in the Red Zone. Many of the twin-engine Weekender / Merry Fisher models are on hand, the larger range of the Leader / Cap Camarat models and the two DB (Day Boat) models. Hope to see you there.
Weekender / Merry Fisher Models
NC 1295 Fly - This boat gives me boat envy, taking what we love about our 1095 to another level. Here is a video of some of the features on a 1295 to think about with Lucy, from @dunbaryachts: https://youtu.be/ouE5o_8Giv8?si=PWzOf...
NC 1095 Fly - We own the 1095 coupe, and think it is one of the best values for features and size, this video looks at the galley on the 1095: https://youtu.be/hDCxvNd54yE?si=V3Dik...
NC 895 S2 - Every Series 2 we have seen has thoughtful refinements from the S1. Look forward to exploring this layout compared to our 1095.
NC 895 Sport S2 - Twin engine with the walk around.
Leader / Cap Camarat Models
Leader 12.5 - A model I am excited to compare this to the 1295 cabin.
Leader 10.5 - Similar hull size to the 1095, totally different boat. Here is a video on an owners perspective of the 10.5: https://youtu.be/z10suDIzk64?si=07xlR...
Leader 9.0 - Curious to see how this hull is laid out.
DB Series
DB 43 - A boat I am excited to see the interior.
DB 37 - A high end fit and finish day boat that brings the outside in. Here is a video of our tour of the DB 37: https://youtu.be/zML4ARTKk1o?si=xGB00...

These two boneheads are featured in the Nuckolball podcast in the link below. Learn more about Big Hal, friendship, family and survival. Echo Zulu Cruising has been forced to be a repeat, non-sponsor of this fantastic podcast by our friend Mike Nuckols, we have no input, editorial control, or even prior knowledge of our non-sponsorships of this podcast. Hal was an unwitting reviewer of our Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095. This is once again an epic and entertaining story. Take a listen and share with friends. open.spotify.com/episode/6Nd8j9lpa9BsgiNUho7ffV...

Here are the specifications for the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295, my current boat crush. @chedler , they are not easy to find online. So, grabbed a screen shot from a brochure. Here is the link to the 1295 at Jeanneau America: www.jeanneau.com/en-us/boats/powerboat/41-nc-weeke…

Echo Zulu Cruising is a proud non-sponsor of this months NuckolBall podcast. The latest episode celebrates Pride Month. It's the story of my friend's son coming out to him, plus a bonus ending. Our non-sponsorship raises the question of "Slay or No Way" on Dave's hair and whether Alicia is a hostage. I love the whole Nuckols family. open.spotify.com/episode/50CzhERdZ7x3OJM9jc4hfz?si…

Jeanneau Power Boats at the Seattle Boat Show, February 2-10, looks like the Jeanneau power boats are at the Lumen Field Event Center. @JeanneauAmerica is at Booth West 39, @SundanceYachts is Booth West 63 (with some Prestiges at Bell Harbor B 6). Most of the NC Weekender Range is there.

NC 1295 Fly - We love this boat, takes what we love about the 1095 to another level. Our walk through: https://youtu.be/ScGQzON8iF4
NC 1095 - Our boat and one of the best values we have seen for features and size. https://youtu.be/TITDRgJzVcg
NC 895 S1 And S2 - Having both to compare. Every Series 2 we have seen has thoughtful refinements from the S1. We need to do a walk through of these!
NC 795 - Great, trailerable option. Another one we have seen, but not done a walk-through on.
#NCSport Models - two models we need to explore
895 Sport - Twin engine with the walk around.
795 Sport - Single Engine maximizing exterior space with the protected cabin.
