Jeanneau Sun Fizz

Jeanneau Sun Fizz lifting keel cruiser — 1983

Designed by Philippe Briand, the Jeanneau Sun Fizz is known for its seaworthiness, rugged build, and comfort for cruising. This lifting keel version offers a 1.35 m draft with the keel raised and 2.45 m with the keel lowered, allowing access to shallow moorings.
The boat is in good condition, with a clean and warm interior. It is hauled out every year for five months and is currently ashore in the Morbihan.
