About the SUN ODYSSEY 479 (JEANNEAU)
Updated version of SUN ODYSSEY 469 (JEANNEAU). Stay tuned
The Sun Odyssey 479 is a modern cruising yacht designed by Philippe Briand and built by Jeanneau in France, with production records indicating a start year of 2016. As a fractional sloop with a displacement of 23830.0 lb, it represents a significant step in Jeanneau's performance-oriented cruising lineage, though specific total hull build counts are not definitively established in the current dataset.
- Best for:
- This vessel is best suited for active coastal cruisers and couples who prioritize interior volume and modern amenities, as well as those seeking a balance between performance and comfort for weekend getaways or short offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 23830.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 2.05, and a fin keel, the boat offers moderate offshore stability, though its relatively light displacement for its length suggests it is better suited for protected waters and short bluewater passages rather than heavy-weather transoceanic voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 and the Dufour 460, which share similar fractional sloop rigs, beamy hull forms, and a focus on spacious, light-filled interiors for the same era of production.
