This 2021 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 represents a revolution in monohull design, blending high-performance offshore capabilities with a layout centered on effortless movement and living. Awarded "Most Innovative" by Cruising World, this model is defined by its patented walk-around side decks that slope gently toward the cockpit sole, allowing crew to move from bow to stern without ever stepping over a coaming.
Performance and Hull Design
Built for speed and stability, the 440 features a Philippe Briand design that brings racing technology to a comfortable cruiser.
Hard Chined Hull: A full-length hard chine increases stability and minimizes heeling, ensuring a fast and confident ride even in significant breeze.
Scow Bow Design: This innovative forward volume increases buoyancy and interior space while improving performance upwind.
Responsive Handling: Equipped with twin rudders and twin wheels, the vessel remains nimble and balanced on the helm.
Powerful Propulsion: Most 2021 models feature an upgraded 57 HP Yanmar diesel engine and a retractable bow thruster for stress-free maneuvering in tight slips.
Innovative Deck and Cockpit
The exterior is designed to transition seamlessly from a high-performance sailing station to a luxury outdoor lounge.
Effortless Short-Handed Sailing: With all lines led aft to the primary winches (often electric) and a lowered gooseneck for easy mainsail access, this yacht is easily handled by a couple or a solo sailor.
Electric Swim Platform: At the touch of a button, the transom lowers to reveal an extra-large swim platform with an integrated ladder for easy water access.
Refined Interior Living
The "open concept" interior is bathed in natural light through large hull portlights and multiple flush hatches.
Master Suite: The forward owner’s cabin offers a true centerline queen berth with rectangular dimensions, allowing for standard household linens, and a private ensuite head with a separate shower.
U-Shaped Galley: Centrally located for stability underway, the galley features an island for bracing, dual refrigeration, and ample storage for extended cruising.
Versatile Salon: The spacious dining area features a table that can lower to form an additional double berth, accommodating up to 8–10 guests depending on the cabin configuration.
Modern Navigation Station: A dedicated, forward-facing nav desk that doubles as a functional home office or coffee nook with a view.
