Jeanneau 43 Ds
Description
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 DS (Deck Saloon) is a luxurious, spacious cruising sailboat designed by Philippe Briand with interior styling by the Garroni Design team, launched in 2007 as part of Jeanneau’s Deck Saloon series. Built for comfortable coastal and offshore cruising, it combines a raised saloon for panoramic views, a voluminous interior for liveaboard appeal, and a performance-oriented hull for spirited sailing. Aimed at families or couples seeking a balance of elegance and practicality, the 45 DS features a sleek, low-profile deckhouse, twin helms for easy handling, and a versatile layout with two or three cabins. Its chined hull and high ballast ratio ensure stability in varied conditions, making it a favorite for long passages or extended stays, with over 400 units built from 2007 to 2012.
