Jeanneau Cap Camarat 12.5 WA

This is the flagship of the Cap Camarat range, and the new version has a full windscreen. That makes a real difference on a fast passage, giving you much better shelter from the wind and when the weather turns rough. Tinted glass, black trim on the frame and a highlighted logo make her look sportier, but she still has what the range is known for: safety, good performance and plenty of room for friends and family.

You've a lot of choice in how she's specified. The outdoor galley comes in several configurations, the interior can be air conditioned, and the cockpit can be shaded with a sun awning or a remote-controlled SureShade. There's also an optional gyroscopic system that steadies the boat, both under way and at rest.

The space is well used. The forward sundeck works as a second saloon, with raised loungers and a bench seat around a removable table. On the port side an electric terrace drops down to open up the cockpit for swimming.

Below, the owner's cabin sits amidships with a double and a single berth, which join to make a very large king-size bed. The galley has a ceramic hob, a fridge and storage, and the seating in the forward saloon converts into another king-size berth, so there's room for guests overnight.
