True innovation is rare in yacht design but the new Jeanneau “walk-around” yachts – including the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 deliver it in boatloads. The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 was Sail Magazines Best 40-50ft Cruising Boat in 2018 as well as European Yacht of the Year 2018 in the Family Cruiser category. The “walk-around” side deck slopes gently down towards the helm station on each side so that there is no more clambering over thwarts and coamings to get from the cockpit to the side deck – you simply walk around the helm. The helm itself has forward-facing seats so you can helm without having to twist your body and crane your neck. The coamings are both hinged so you can fold them out to make daybeds on either side. In the case of the starboard pad, it can extend all the way to the cockpit table (with a filler cushion). The cockpit table is also offset slightly allowing a straight walk-through passage even when one of the table leaves is open. The twin wheels, wide split backstay, and extra-large swim platform offer easy boarding and clear access to the companionway. The engine start panel is incorporated into the central cockpit table together with the autopilot, compass, table/transom, and light controls. Horizon adds electric Harken winches operated directly from the cockpit and short-handed sailing is easy, safe, and stress-free. The Yanmar 45hp pushes the easily driven hull at 7.5 knots cruising speed. With the roller furling mainsail and genoa, you can be under full sail within a minute of dropping the mooring. Perfect for short island hopping in the BVI. The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 was designed by Jean-Marc Piaton and Rafael Bonet. The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 2 cabin/ 2 head layout will appeal to smaller groups looking to sail in spacious luxury. The forward master cabin, with en-suite head and shower, has double doors to access and when open, it accentuates the sense of space you get below. In this two-cabin version, the aft cabin is to starboard with a huge storage/utility room area to port. There is a generator onboard, air conditioning throughout and all the heads are electric. There is a forward-facing chart table/nav station to port and forward is the galley. The galley itself has an island with storage and also works as a useful brace underway. There is a three-burner stove and oven, double sink, freezer, and refrigerator. There is additional wine bottle storage under the cabin sole. To starboard, there is a generous folding dining table with a central bench seat and there is plentiful storage under the seats. The table can also be lowered to form an extra double berth and the light below is exceptional, with hull and deck port lights supplemented by multiple hatches. Get in the groove with Rhythm and Blues, a spectacular monohull to carve through the BVI aboard. In addition to the comprehensive equipment lists below, we also offer wifi and watertoy rental.
