2011 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 DS

This 2011 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 DS is a 44-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat built for offshore passages. The design combines comfort with capable performance, featuring a deck saloon layout, twin helm wheels, and an in-mast furling mainsail paired with a furling genoa. A single Yanmar diesel engine of 75 horsepower provides auxiliary power, complemented by a feathering propeller for long-distance sailing efficiency.

Below deck, the yacht sleeps six across three cabins, with additional saloon berths. The interior features teak joinery and cream leather upholstery. The layout prioritizes easy handling when short-handed, with electric winches for sail control and a thoughtfully arranged deck and cockpit for safe, efficient operation.

The current owner completed substantial upgrades in preparation for an Atlantic crossing, including new standing and running rigging, mainsail and genoa, and a full suite of navigation electronics from Raymarine—radar, AIS, and autopilot among them. A Hydrovane windvane steering system with spare rudder, diesel generator, bow thruster, and air conditioning support extended cruising. Power generation includes an Efoy fuel cell, service batteries replaced in 2023, and a 6-kilowatt generator. A 3-kilowatt inverter and watermaker add self-sufficiency. A tender with electric outboard and a new dinghy complete the inventory.
