DescriptionOrigin Yachts Presents: Quicksilver Activ 855 Weekend “Nellie B”
2015 / 2016 Model | VW 3.0L V6 TDI 260hp Diesel | Bow Thruster | Heating & Air Conditioning | Simrad Navigation

Origin Yachts are delighted to present “Nellie B”, a 2015 / 2016 model Quicksilver Activ 855 Weekend, a versatile and well-equipped cruiser offering an excellent combination of performance, accommodation and practical family cruising. Powered by a VW 3.0-litre V6 TDI 260hp diesel engine coupled to a sterndrive, “Nellie B” offers strong performance, cruising comfortably at approximately 24 knots and capable of reaching approximately 30 knots. A bow thruster provides additional assistance when berthing and manoeuvring at low speeds.

Both the engine and sterndrive have been fully serviced, while the antifouling has been stripped and reapplied. She also benefited from new upholstery below in 2025.

Designed with weekends and extended cruising in mind, the Quicksilver 855 Weekend offers impressive accommodation for a boat of her size. She features two separate double cabins, together with additional sleeping accommodation within the convertible saloon, providing comfortable accommodation for up to five.
The bright wheelhouse and saloon benefit from excellent all-round visibility, a large sliding sunroof and a side-opening helm door providing convenient access to the side deck. The saloon incorporates a dinette and forward-facing passenger seating, while the well-equipped galley features a black Corian worktop, twin-burner hob, sink, refrigerator and microwave.

A separate heads compartment features a sea toilet, wash basin with black Corian vanity and pull-out shower. Reverse-cycle heating and air conditioning provides additional comfort throughout the season.
Outside, “Nellie B” offers a spacious and versatile cockpit with a sliding rear bench seat, additional seating and a cockpit table. The seating and table arrangement can be converted to create a large sun pad, while a bow sun pad provides further space for relaxing.

Her inventory includes a Simrad GPS/Chartplotter, VHF radio, Plastimo compass, electric anchor windlass, Fusion stereo with cockpit speakers, underwater lighting, Bimini and full camper enclosure.
