Sun Odyssey 415: A Blend of Performance and Comfort

The Sun Odyssey 415, designed by Marc Lombard, boasts a powerful and modern hull, engineered for both performance and stability. With a hull length of 11.99 meters and a maximum beam of 3.99 meters, it presents a sporty profile without sacrificing interior space. Draft options include a fixed keel (GTE) at 2.25 meters, a shallow draft version (PTE) at 1.60 meters, and a lifting keel ranging from 1.37 meters to 2.97 meters, offering versatility for accessing shallow anchorages. The light displacement is 7,684 kg, which is relatively light for a sailboat of this size.

The swept-back rig and clear deck layout are reminiscent of Jeanneau’s signature design, facilitating easy handling with a small crew while ensuring excellent volume distribution.

Reliable Shaft Drive System

Notably, in a market where saildrives have become the norm, the Sun Odyssey 415 retains a shaft drive system. This choice will appeal to those who appreciate direct mechanics and robustness, especially for those planning offshore voyages. The 45 HP engine provides ample power under sail or motor, with a 200-liter fuel tank.

Bright and Modular Interior

Available in two or three-cabin configurations, the Sun Odyssey 415 offers sleeping accommodations for 4 to 6 people. The interior volume, both warm and bright, has been designed to maximize circulation and comfort on board. The interior design, by Piaton and Jeanneau, remains true to the brand’s spirit: light woods, meticulous finishes, and well-defined living spaces.

The saloon is spacious, with a large, convivial table, and the well-equipped L-shaped galley allows for cooking even in rough seas. The refrigeration capacity reaches 190 liters, more than sufficient for long cruises, while the 330-liter water tank ensures good autonomy.

CE Certification and Ambitious Program

The two-cabin version is certified in CE category A6 / B7 / C9 / D9, while the three-cabin version can accommodate up to 10 people in category C. This makes it suitable for both offshore cruising and coastal sailing.

A True 40-Foot Seaworthy, Modern, and Appealing Cruiser

The Sun Odyssey 415 continues the success of the range, with a constant balance between innovation, ease of use, and elegance. Accessible for a couple and spacious enough for a family, it presents itself as a modern, reliable, and versatile platform. A true 40-foot cruiser for sailing far, long, and with pleasure.
