Jeanneau NC 37 Review (2021 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

There are a number of clever features on deck. The cockpit section of seating slides to allow for more space on the bathing platform, a feature admired for its flexibility. There is plenty of storage, including a locker under the bathing platform and within the saloon area.

The deck saloon boat design, which places the saloon on the same level as the cockpit, has large sliding doors that can connect or separate these areas depending on weather conditions. Also highlighted are the boat's cooking facilities, including a gas oven and grill.

The yacht's two main cabins, one with a double bed and one that can be configured as a double or two singles, receive praise for their space, storage, and contemporary design. There are separate shower and toilet facilities, which is very practical when the boat is accommodating a number of people.

There is a clever additional sleeping or storage area beneath the floor. This area could be used for storing cushions from the cockpit overnight, avoiding the need to bring them all the way through the boat.

The boat's helm position, with its low-glare finish and side access door, is praised, as is the joystick control that simplifies managing the boat in close quarters.

The boat has twin Volvo Penta D4-270 engines, which offer a top speed of around 30 knots, cruising at 26 knots will give a range of approximately 250 miles.

Overall, Nick is impressed by the Jeanneau NC 37's design, which he believes demonstrates a deep understanding of the needs of a boating family. He praises the boat's thoughtful features, from its flexible seating and storage options to its practical separate shower and toilet facilities. The boat's combination of performance and practicality, he suggests, makes it a superb choice for family cruising.
