The Sun Odyssey 380, designed by Marc Lombard and built by Jeanneau, is a modern fractional sloop launched in 2021.

- Best for:
- This vessel is well-suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize spacious interior accommodations and modern electronics, as evidenced by the high prevalence of B&G, Garmin, and Raymarine upgrades. The widespread installation of bow thrusters (43 mentions) and solar panels (21 mentions) suggests owners value ease of handling in marinas and extended self-sufficiency for shorter offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.0 and a displacement of 15203.0 lb, the boat offers moderate stability for coastal passages, but the high frequency of keel smile/sump cracking reports (12 mentions) raises significant concerns about structural integrity for serious bluewater use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 and the Dufour 385, which share similar fractional sloop rigs, beamy hull forms, and a focus on interior volume over heavy displacement. These models appeal to the same demographic seeking a balance of performance and comfort, often featuring similar engine options like Volvo Penta and Yanmar.
