Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37.1 sailing yacht

The Sun Odyssey 37.1 is the smallest 3-cabin/‘twin heads’ yacht we charter making her excellent for a family and allowing ‘Mum & Dad’ to have their own self-contained cabin at the end of the day.

The 37.1 can be comfortably sailed by a crew of two or three.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37.1 sailing yacht

The Sun Odyssey 37.1 was built before the newer Jeanneau 36i and 39i models, but has a reputation for being a well built and extremely popular cruising yacht. Unlike the newer models and indeed unlike almost any yacht of this size, the 37.1 offers ‘twin heads’ making her excellent those who fancy an en-suite shower/toilet with the forward cabin.

Like our 35 and 36i models the Sun Odyssey 37.1 is excellent for a family, especially for a family where maybe ‘Mum & Dad’ would like to be able to shut themselves away in their own self-contained cabin at the end of the day.

She can be comfortably sailed by a crew of two or three. Like all our sailing yachts, our Sun Odyssey 37.1 yachts are continually refurbished and updated keeping them fresh and belying their year of build. These are our most popular & successful charter yachts ever.

Sailing

The Sun Odyssey 37.1 can be managed by a crew of two although a third set of hands always makes mooring and other tasks simpler. She sails well and has a good reputation as a comfortable cruising yacht providing entertaining, yet safe and stable sailing.

Her in-mast furling mainsail means handling the main is particularly easy and suitable for short-handed crews.
