Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 CAVU

2021 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 | Innovation Meets Elegance

Experience a revolution in cruising with the 2021 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440. Designed by Philippe Briand, this award-winning yacht redefines movement on board and sets a new standard for performance in its class. Whether you are navigating coastal waters or embarking on an offshore passage, the 440 delivers a symphony of comfort, safety, and speed.

Groundbreaking Design & Exterior

The hallmark of the Sun Odyssey 440 is the innovative walk-around deck. Unlike traditional sailboats, the side decks slope gently toward the cockpit sole, allowing you to move from the twin helms to the bow without ever stepping over a coaming.

• Performance Hull: Featuring a full-length hard chine and a "scow bow" design, the hull provides incredible stability and buoyancy forward, keeping the bow up and the ride dry even in choppy seas.


• Versatile Cockpit: The cockpit coamings can be extended to create an expansive, padded lounging area, transforming the aft of the boat into a private sundeck.


• Ease of Handling: With a lowered gooseneck for easier sail access and lines led back to the helm stations, this vessel is optimized for shorthanded sailing.

Refined Interior Living

Below deck, the 440 is bathed in natural light through large hull ports and numerous deck hatches. The contemporary Alpi wood finishes (available in Grey Cedar or Teak) create a warm, polished atmosphere.

• Spacious Layout: Typically configured with 2 staterooms and 2 heads, the interior features true rectangular berths—an industry rarity that allows for standard home linens.


• Central Galley: Designed for safety at sea, the U-shaped galley is positioned low in the boat to center weight and minimize motion while cooking.


• Owner’s Suite: The forward cabin is a true sanctuary, featuring double-door entry, a walk-around island berth, and a private ensuite head with a separate shower.

Sun Odyssey 440's high performance platform incorporates a full length, hard chined hull to promote fast cruising while minimizing heeling. The generous sail plan is easily handled by the inboard winches and lowered gooseneck height. Sailing this boat is an experience like none other. She is fast, powerful, and nimble on the wheel.

The 440 launched the proprietary Walk Around Decks, an incredible feature that has been incorporated in every successive design. This, combined with unobstructed side decks from bow to stern make movement on deck easier than ever before. The huge cockpit is perfect for entertaining guests, and the convertible cockpit lounge turns the aft eight feet of the boat into a gigantic sunpad!

The open concept interior is bathed in light, as the main salon features a multitude of windows and hatches. The central U-shaped galley is optimally placed for comfort while underway, centralizing the weight of the appliances for optimized sailing performance, as well as serving meals in the salon. In the 440, the navigation station is particularly emphasized, elevating this feature into a coffee nook or home office.
