This Jeanneau Merry Fisher 580 is a great example of a small, versatile coastal cruiser that’s equally at home fishing or enjoying relaxed day trips on the Clyde. She’s a simple, practical boat with the benefit of a much newer 100hp Suzuki outboard from 2017, which is a big plus compared to many boats of this age still running older engines. With around 1,250 hours, she’s clearly been used but should still have plenty of life left if maintained properly. Performance-wise, she offers a comfortable cruising speed around 18 knots and can push up to the mid-20s, making her ideal for quick hops between anchorages or fishing spots.
Her layout is straightforward but effective, with two berths in the forward cabin, a basic galley setup including a fridge, and a porta potti for occasional overnighting. The wheelhouse gives good protection from the elements, which is always appreciated in Scottish conditions, and the overall feel is functional rather than luxurious—but that’s exactly what makes these boats so popular.
On deck she’s nicely set up with the essentials including anchor gear, fenders and warps, plus a useful little 6hp auxiliary outboard. The navigation package is perfectly adequate for coastal work, with GPS, chartplotter, VHF DSC, fishfinder and echo sounder all in place. Stored ashore, she should present well structurally, and overall she looks like a tidy, honest little boat that’s ready to get back on the water without much fuss.
