The Sun Odyssey 44i provides spacious accommodation for a group of up to 8 in four cabins with two ‘heads’ and additional berths in the main saloon.

Like the other Sun Odyssey yachts, the 44i has a reputation as a well performing cruising yacht which is well-mannered and easy to sail.

The Sun Odyssey 44i is a four-cabin cruising yacht providing eight permanent berths and two ‘heads’. The main cabin can also be used for two additional berths, although we typically would not recommend this.

The Sun Odyssey 44i provides comfortable and spacious accommodation for two families or group of 8 adults. Like all modern yachts she can be sailed by a couple, although being larger with more sail area, a larger crew allows work to be shared and gives more hands when mooring.

Sailing

The Sun Odyssey 44i can be managed by a crew of two although additional crew always makes mooring and other tasks simpler and shares the load. Like all Jeanneau yachts she sails well providing entertaining, yet safe and stable sailing as you would expect from a larger cruising yacht.

Equipment

The Greek Sails Sun Odyssey 44i yachts are equipped with twin-wheel steering, rolling genoa and a fully-battened slab reefing mainsail with lazy jacks & sail bag. The mainsail uses single-line reefing with reefs 1 & 2 rigged. There is also a bow thruster to assist with close quarter manoeuvring.

There is an inflatable dinghy with outboard to help you get ashore if you anchor-off or simply to allow you to explore.

Instrumentation includes twin binnacle compasses (one per wheel), Raymarine ST60+ wind and Tridata instruments, Raymarine inboard (built-in) autopilot with ST6002 control head and Raymarine e7 chartpolotter in the cockpit.

The 44i is also equipped with a DSC VHF radio & EPIRB by the chart table. Charts and pilot guides are provided.

The yacht is equipped with a CD/radio player with speakers in the main cabin and external speakers in the cockpit, allowing you to listen to music as you sail.

Accommodation

The Sun Odyssey 44i provides four cabins and two toilet/shower rooms (‘heads’ in sailing talk), each with hot & cold water, toilet and holding tank.

Each cabin has a double berth giving eight berths, plus the main saloon settee & table are convertible to give another double berth taking the total to 10 persons, although we would only recommend the use of the main saloon by children.

The galley includes a double sink, two top-entry fridges with ice-box, a twin-burner cooker with oven, and plenty of storage both behind the worktop & cooker and below the sinks.

The Sun Odyssey 44i provides twin heads each including a shower either side of the companionway. There are twin double berth forepeak cabins plus two rear double berth cabins.

There is a chart table to starboard with control panel, VHF radio and CD/radio player. The main saloon settee and table can convert into an additional large double berth although we only recommend this for use by children.
