2019 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440

The 2019 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 is a 44-foot cruising yacht designed through collaboration between Philippe Briand and Piaton Bonet Yacht Design. Built with a fiberglass hull and powered by a Yanmar diesel engine producing 57 horsepower, she combines practical performance with thoughtful design. The hull features a full-length chine that enhances stability and creates additional interior volume, while patented walk-around side decks seamlessly connect the cockpit to the foredeck—a notable accessibility feature for safe movement underway.

The four-cabin, two-head layout accommodates up to ten people and maximizes sleeping capacity without sacrificing comfort. The forward double cabin can serve as an owner's suite when preferred. Below decks, the yacht feels bright and spacious thanks to numerous hull windows and overhead hatches. The saloon features a U-shaped galley to port with generous counter space and storage, along with a forward-facing navigation station. Both head compartments are notably large and include separate shower stalls.

Sailing characteristics are forgiving and capable. The full-length chine contributes to stability, allowing the boat to stand up to breeze effectively. Twin rudders provide excellent control when underway. The Yanmar engine cruises efficiently at around six to seven knots. The large central cockpit includes an al fresco dining table, with lines led aft to winches near the helm to keep the forward cockpit area clear and functional.
