The 2013 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 presented here is a seaworthy sailing yacht, reliable and remarkably equipped, ideal for coastal or offshore cruising. Designed by Marc Lombard and Jeanneau Design, this model is known for its hull balance, ease of handling, and quality of fittings. Offered at 125,000 euros, VAT paid, it presents a rare opportunity on the family cruising market in the Mediterranean, especially as it benefits from a set of recent options and equipment, including solar panels, lithium batteries, comprehensive Simrad electronics, an inflatable with a motor, and an electric windlass. With 1,140 hours of operation, its Yanmar 29-horsepower saildrive engine ensures very low fuel consumption of 2 to 3 liters per hour, with a cruising speed of 6 to 6.5 knots and a maximum speed of around 7 knots.
With an overall length of 11.34 meters and a beam of 3.76 meters, this Sun Odyssey 379 offers a spacious interior and a particularly welcoming cockpit. Thanks to its Category A design, it is permitted to sail on the high seas and can safely carry up to eight people. The teak cockpit, twin helm wheels, lift-up platform, and the presence of a hot and cold shower enhance comfort at anchor and underway. The electric windlass, combined with two primary anchors, eases maneuvering, while the four self-tailing winches and Dyform forestay ensure smooth and safe sail handling.
This model has three cabins, offering six comfortable berths, making it ideal for families or groups of friends. The light wood interior, well-maintained floors, and blackout curtains create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The L-shaped kitchen is equipped with an oven, a refrigerator (unit replaced in 2024), a double sink, a coffee machine, and plenty of storage. The bathroom includes a manual toilet, a sink, a shower, and grates, ensuring comfort and durability. Hot water supply is provided by a boiler, and internet via Starlink adds modern amenities on board.
Simrad electronics include an NSS8 GPS, fishfinder, log/speed sensor, autopilot, DSC VHF, a full AIS system, and a wind/speed indicator. Power management is handled by a battery monitor, a Victron 120 A charger, a Victron 3000 W inverter, and two lithium batteries of 100 Ah installed in 2024. Four 100 W solar panels ensure high autonomy at anchor. A TV, Fusion audio system, and four speakers complete onboard comfort.
Finally, this Sun Odyssey 379 comes with a 2.3-meter 3D Tender inflatable with a 3.5 hp Mercury engine, alongside a significant set of accessories such as a quay extension, a bimini (to be replaced), insect screens, blackout curtains, and several protective tarps. The 4W six-person life raft, certified again in 2026, provides extra safety for long-distance sailing.
This sailing yacht offers an excellent quality/price/equipment ratio. It is a complete, well-maintained unit, carefully overseen, and ready to sail immediately, perfect for those seeking comfortable, autonomous, and reliable cruising in the Mediterranean or beyond.
