Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2
Description
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2 is a renowned French performance cruiser designed by naval architect Jacques Fauroux and produced by Jeanneau from 1997 to 2003. With an LOA of about 45 feet, it blends sporty sailing characteristics with generous interior volume, making it a favorite for family cruising, charter use, and occasional offshore passages. Its wide beam, bulb keel options, and fractional sloop rig deliver responsive handling and good speed, while the layout prioritizes comfort with 3- or 4-cabin configurations sleeping up to 10. Over 400 units were built, and it's celebrated for its build quality, clean deck layout, and value on the used market.
