DESCRIPTION
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44 Deck Saloon
This outstanding one-owner Sun Odyssey 44 Deck Saloon was sold new by PBS and has been carefully specified for ease of sailing, comfort and versatility. A long-time Jeanneau owner, the current owner configured the yacht to be equally suited to relaxed family cruising and competitive twilight racing on Pittwater, where she has been regularly enjoyed with children and grandchildren aboard.
Ease of handling was a priority, with the yacht fitted with a Leisurefurl boom furling system and both a self-tacking jib and performance furling genoa, allowing the sail plan to be tailored depending on how the boat is being used.
With antifouling completed in February 2026 and all new rigging installed in May 2025, this yacht is ready to go with nothing to spend before enjoying the water.
Elegant Deck Saloon Design
The Sun Odyssey 44DS is widely admired for its stylish lines, excellent sailing performance and superb interior space. The cockpit is generous and well protected, while the raised deck saloon creates a light, panoramic living space below.
Accommodation is exceptional, featuring a phenomenal owner’s cabin and a very generous guest cabin, both with private ensuites.
Cockpit and Deck Layout
Access to the water is easy via fixed steps from the swim platform, where you will also find a boarding ladder and hot and cold shower. Practical cruising features include:
Custom pushpit bracket for a tender outboard
Gas bayonet fitting on the stern for the BBQ
Twin-bottle gas locker beneath the starboard helm seat
Lazarette locker to port
Symmetrical storage lockers beneath the cockpit benches
Full set of fitted cockpit cushions
The cockpit is well equipped for sailing and entertaining, with cockpit speakers, and at each helm there are twin Simrad multi-displays, along with autopilot control at the starboard helm.
A comprehensive canvas package includes:
Deluxe spray dodger with rear and side handrails
Three-bow bimini
140W flexible solar panel mounted on the bimini
Link sheet connection for added protection
Simple, Flexible Sail Handling
The Leisurefurl boom furling system allows the mainsail to be hoisted, reefed and stowed entirely from the cockpit. Combined with the self-tacking jib, the yacht becomes remarkably easy to sail short-handed or even single-handed.
For more performance-oriented sailing, the yacht also carries:
Performance furling genoa
Storm jib
Offwind sailing is equally well covered with:
Furling Code 0 on a retractable bow sprit
Asymmetric spinnaker in a sock
When moving forward, the wide side decks and clear deck layout allow safe and easy access without having to negotiate side stays.
Light-Filled Interior Living
Descending the companionway, the L-shaped galley is located to starboard and offers excellent functionality at sea.
Immediately aft is the access to the full-width owner’s cabin, featuring:
King-sized berth
Seating on either side of the bed
Bedding lockers and hanging locker
Ensuite bathroom
To port of the companionway is the day head / owner’s head, followed by the aft-facing navigation station. Beneath the nav station is an additional 12V front-loading refrigerator, ideal for extended cruising.
The deck saloon itself is exceptionally light and bright, thanks to the large windows. The layout includes:
Bench seat to port
U-shaped dinette to starboard
The saloon table cleverly bi-folds from drinks table to dining table and sits on an electric pedestal, allowing it to be lowered easily to create a large additional double berth for occasional guests.
Spacious Guest Accommodation
Forward is a particularly large guest cabin, featuring:
Island-style double berth
Excellent floor space
Generous storage lockers
The guest head includes a manual toilet, while the aft/owner’s head features an electric toilet. Both heads have separate holding tanks.
A Superb All-Round Cruising Yacht
This Sun Odyssey 44 Deck Saloon has been lightly but regularly used and carefully maintained, and it shows throughout. Offering easy handling, spacious living and strong sailing performance, she is equally suited to family cruising, coastal passages or social racing.
A beautifully presented yacht that truly ticks all the boxes and deserves to be high on the shortlist of anyone looking for a quality deck saloon cruiser.
Contact PBS to arrange an inspection – this impressive yacht must be seen to be fully appreciated.
