2016 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439 — Cruise-Ready and Turnkey
Exceptionally upgraded and meticulously maintained. A true turnkey cruiser for Chesapeake and coastal sailing.
Overview
This 2016 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439 is a beautifully balanced 43-foot cruiser that blends modern hull design, elegant interiors, and effortless handling.
Designed by Philippe Briand and built by Jeanneau France, this yacht offers both performance and comfort.
The shoal-draft (5′ 2″) keel is ideal for exploring shallow Chesapeake Bay anchorages while still providing the stiffness and upwind power the 439 is known for.
The current owner has invested extensively in her — systems, sails, canvas, electrical, rigging, and comfort upgrades — this is one of the most capable and turnkey examples on the market.

«Yacht Access found my first Hatteras for me over twenty-five years ago; since then they have helped me buy and sell four more boats – and become great friends. Their service during the sale is great, but their service after the sale they is exceptional – without the knowledge and guidance provided by Yacht Access I would never have had such a pleasurable ownership experience. The staff at DDYS knows everyone in the boat business and helped me find the best service and supply vendors to take care of my boats – I could not have owned five boats without them!»
