Bigger is better.

Today, its flagship NC 1095 Weekender raises the bar further with even more comfort and onboard space.
The roomy cockpit is anchored by a substantial L-shape settee that nearly spans the yacht’s full beam. With its companion table in place, there’s no better spot for dining alfresco.
Stepping inside, the NC 1095’s spacious salon presents a well-appointed galley to starboard and a flexible dinette to port. The bright and tasteful décor, featuring light fabrics and natural woods, is complemented by large opening side windows and double, manually operated overhead sunroofs that flood the space with fresh air and natural light.
The helm console is cleanly laid out, with plenty of room to add one or more large touchscreen displays. The positioning of the steering wheel and engine binnacles is comfortable for driving from either a standing or seated position, and overall visibility is excellent, with a wide, opening driver’s door facilitating deck access when docking.
The NC 1095 has a slightly asymmetric cabin design providing a wider walk-through to the bow on the starboard side. Up front, a large double-wide sunpad offers plenty of space to enjoy the sun.
Belowdecks the NC 1095 is a true weekender, with a standard two-stateroom floorplan consisting of the bow primary suite and a mid-cabin stateroom. A generous utility room offers excellent storage space or a third stateroom if desired.
“The Jeanneau NC 1095 Weekender is well-suited for families looking to create memorable experiences on the Great Lakes, offering a blend of spaciousness, comfort and practicality for extended cruising or weekend getaways,” says Brad Eckhardt, Manitowoc Marina head of sales. “With three cabins and a convertible settee, there is ample space for the whole family.”
