The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40DS (1998) is a well-balanced cruising yacht offering comfort, space, and solid offshore performance.
She provides a remarkably spacious interior layout for her size, featuring three cabins and two electric heads, ideal for family cruising or extended stays onboard.
The deck saloon design enhances natural light and visibility below deck, while the 1.60 m draft ensures a good compromise between performance and access to shallow anchorages.
She is powered by a reliable Yanmar 4JH3E 54 HP engine with shaft drive and a 3-blade propeller, delivering a comfortable cruising speed of around 6 knots.
The yacht has been consistently upgraded, including full engine and hull maintenance in 2024, new standing rigging in 2023 (certified), and modernized systems such as lithium batteries, 3 kW inverter, and 400 W solar installation.
Recent upgrades also include synthetic teak (2025), replaced seacocks (2025), and a well-equipped navigation suite with B&G electronics and Autohelm autopilot.
Fully prepared for immediate sailing, she represents a solid, turn-key cruising platform in very good condition.
