The Floating Condo

2020 Jeanneau NC 1095 Fly — $279,950

Imagine pulling into a marina in a 34-foot boat, but instead of stepping down into a cramped, dark cave, you are stepping into a light-filled, glass-enclosed floating apartment. You walk up the stairs to the flybridge, mix a drink, and watch the sunset from the highest vantage point in the anchorage. Later, when you go to sleep, your guests aren’t sleeping on the salon couch—they have their own dedicated cabins below deck.

The Jeanneau NC 1095 Fly is the ultimate family cruiser for the modern era. Built by the French maritime giant, this boat emphasizes natural light, modular seating, and supreme comfort. By relying on twin Yamaha 300HP outboards, you get the volume of a motor yacht with the maintenance schedule and shallow-water capability of a center console. It is the perfect platform for a family looking to spend a month cruising the Florida Keys or doing the Great Loop in high-rise style.

For our final boat of The Outboard Revolution, we are looking at the absolute peak of how modern engines have changed boat design. For decades, the rule was simple: if you wanted a multi-level motor yacht with a flybridge, you had to buy a heavy, deep-draft boat with massive inboard diesel engines taking up half the interior volume.

The Jeanneau NC 1095 Fly broke the rules. By strapping twin Yamaha outboards to the transom, Jeanneau recovered the massive amount of space normally reserved for an engine room. The result? They managed to fit three separate sleeping cabins into a 34-foot boat. It is a spatial magic trick. The “Smart Money” play here is avoiding the $500,000+ MSRP of a new 2025 model and snagging a lightly used 2020 model for nearly half the price.
