Jeanneau continues to expand their range of sailing cruisers with the unveiling of its latest masterpiece, the Sun Odyssey 350.

The challenge was ambitious: to improve an already widely recognized and acclaimed model that has been a great success.

1. Modern and Innovative Design

The design of the Sun Odyssey 350 is part of a continuous innovation process. Equipped with a new hull that offers a more refined and modern lines, it facilitates port maneuvers and tacking in light winds. The aesthetics of the boat are distinguished by a sportier and more dynamic form, reflecting Jeanneau’s desire to propose a bold design. The roof structure, the pronounced rib of the chine, and the inverted bow contribute to this elegant and trendy silhouette. Furthermore, the wide dolphin nose and spacious portholes further modernize this sailboat’s profile.

2. Cruising with Agility and Comfort

The Sun Odyssey 350 stands out for its increased width, particularly notable at the stern, offering superior stability and deck surface. The inclined side decks, a remarkable innovation on a sailboat of this caliber, not only facilitate movement and access to sheet winches but also significantly improve life in the cockpit. In addition, the eccentric steering bars offer better forward visibility, thus enhancing ergonomics and comfort while underway. These arrangements, combined with an enlarged aft platform, accentuate ease and safety on board, especially in rough conditions. All of this around a spacious and bright interior space, with a headroom of over 1.85 meters, ideal for sharing beautiful moments with friends and family.
