This 2014 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 469 is a well-proven Philippe Briand design, currently based in Fiji. At 14.05 metres with a 4.49 metre beam, she has genuine volume below decks, laid out with four cabins that suit charter work, family cruising or extended time living aboard in the Pacific. The 2.24 metre draft keeps accommodation generous without compromising performance under sail.
Jeanneau's production yachts have long had a reputation for solid, seaworthy construction, and the Sun Odyssey 469 carries that through with styling and build quality suited to long-distance cruising. Being already in Fiji means she's ready to head out into the islands and reefs of the South Pacific, with no delivery passage required from New Zealand or Europe. Now priced at EUR $248,000, this is a well-specified yacht for anyone after private cruising, charter potential, or a boat already positioned in the islands for warmer-water sailing.
Four cabins, sound pedigree, and no delivery passage required, the 469 is worth a look.
