Jeanneau Sun Magic 44
Description
The Jeanneau Sun Magic 44 is a robust French performance cruiser designed by Daniel Andrieu and produced by Jeanneau from 1987 to 1993. With an LOA of 43.75 feet, it features a masthead sloop rig, fiberglass construction, and a fin keel with spade rudder for agile handling in coastal or offshore conditions. Known for its spacious interior (sleeping up to 8), wide beam for stability, and charter-friendly layout, it was also marketed as the Sun Odyssey 44 and built under license in Greece as the Atlantic 44. Around 100-150 units were built, making it a solid used option for families or couples seeking bluewater capability with racing potential.
