This 2005 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.3 is a well-regarded cruising yacht designed by Daniel Andrieu and built by Jeanneau at Les Herbiers, France. Previously based in Italy, she has been owned by her current Norwegian owners since 2017 and has seen light, seasonal use throughout — typically around five weeks afloat each year, with the remainder of the season spent ashore on hard standing. She is now offered for sale at Cleopatra Marina, Preveza, in good general order, with a number of outstanding items noted at the end of this document still to be resolved before completion.
The Sun Odyssey 40.3 is a practical and well-proportioned cruising design, offering a comfortable three-cabin, two-heads layout suited to a couple or small family exploring the islands. She benefits from a 2023 Raymarine Element 7S chartplotter, a 2021 solar panel installation, an engine serviced in spring 2026 with a new impeller fitted, and six new saloon side windows. A 94m² gennaker and furling sock, added in 2016, give her useful extra speed downwind.

This is a well-proportioned cruising yacht that will suit a buyer looking for a straightforward, practical boat for island hopping in the Ionian and wider Greek waters. Light use and careful ownership since 2017 mean she presents as a sensible, low-hours package for her age, and the three-cabin, two-heads layout works well for a couple with guests or a small family.
Recent attention to the engine, navigation suite, and energy system — a spring 2026 service and new impeller, a 2023 Raymarine chartplotter, and a 2021 solar installation — all point to an owner who has kept on top of the essentials. The interior is finished to a high standard, with full leather upholstery in very good condition and woodwork that is in exceptional order throughout. The gennaker and furling sock add a useful turn of speed for downwind passages between anchorages.
This is a sensible and practical package for the buyer seeking an easy-to-manage yacht in a well-connected Greek base. Early viewing is recommended.
