2015 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 41 DS – "Turn-Key Blue Water Ready" - MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON
Location: Deltaville, VA
Rarely does a vessel of this caliber, in true turn-key cruising condition, hit the market. This second-owner 2015 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 41 DS (Deck Saloon) perfectly blends a performance-oriented hull design by world-renowned naval architect Philippe Briand with an ultra-luxurious, light-filled interior styled by Franck Darnet and Olivier Flahault.
While the 41 DS is celebrated for offering the accommodations, comfort, and volume of a 45-foot yacht, this specific hull stands completely apart from her peers. Following an extensive 2024–2025 outfitting and preventative maintenance program, she features brand-new sails, fresh custom canvas, upgraded solar infrastructure, a high-efficiency watermaker, and brand-new Marelon through-hulls. Currently lying in the premier sailing hub of Deltaville, VA, she is fully provisioned, highly optimized, and entirely ready to cast off for the Caribbean, the Bahamas, or a continuous loop around the Chesapeake.
Jeanneau’s proprietary construction methods ensure high structural stiffness, lighter weight, and elite osmosis resistance.
- Hull Construction: Vacuum-bagged, resin-infused polyester fiberglass (solid glass below the waterline for maximum impact puncture resistance) with an encapsulated fiberglass structural grid matrix.

Rigging, Sails & On-Deck Handling

Off-Grid Cruising Power & Water Architecture
This yacht has been optimized to live off the grid permanently without relying on a loud generator.

- Through-Hulls Safety Upgrade (2024): Full peace-of-mind safety upgrade with all traditional underwater metal through-hulls cut out and replaced entirely with zero-corrosion, ultra-durable Marelon composite valves.
Luxury Accommodations & Interior Layout
Main Saloon (77" / 1.96m Max Headroom)
The iconic Deck Saloon concept shines with massive, wraparound teardrop windows that flood the cabin with natural light and offer expansive panoramic views of the anchorage.
- Starboard Dinette: Deep U-shaped lounge seating wrapped around a luxury wood table. (Equipped with an optional multi-use conversion kit allowing the table to lower, forming an expansive extra double berth).

Owner’s Full-Beam Aft Master Stateroom
The undisputed crown jewel of the 41 DS layout. By creatively raising the cockpit sole, the designers achieved:
