VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.3 is one of the most successful cruising yachts of her generation, combining comfortable accommodation, reassuring sailing performance and straightforward handling. Designed by Daniel Andrieu and built by Jeanneau in France, this 2005 example has been in the hands of her current Norwegian owners since 2017, having previously been based in Italy.

Used privately on a seasonal basis and never chartered, she has typically spent around five weeks afloat each year before being stored ashore for the remainder of the season. She presents in very good order and has clearly benefited from careful ownership and ongoing maintenance.

Offering a spacious three-cabin, two-heads layout, she provides comfortable accommodation for family cruising or holidays with friends. Recent upgrades include a Raymarine Element 7S char00 plotter (2023), a 150W solar panel installation (2021), six new saloon side windows (2025), and an engine service with a new impeller fitted in Spring 2026. A 94m² gennaker with furling sock provides excellent additional performance when sailing downwind, while the included dinghy and Mercury outboard complete a well-equipped cruising package.
