Avis authentiques SUN ODYSSEY 440

We are new sailors, but we've taken our SO440 from Seattle to Mexico. We're currently living on our SO440 comfortably. During our trip when we've had issues we've had good support from Jeanneau and the Jeanneau community. We love the spacious outdoor area and the walk-around cockpit makes for safe travel forward.

Our Sun Odyssey 440 is still the boat of our dreams 2 years into owning! We get compliments and positive feedback from guests and marina neighbors all the time. We love everything about her.

The boat design and hull quality is very good, but the final finishing leaves a lot to be desired. Door latches are poorly installed and some have fallen off, roof panels fall off and the upholstery clips in the cockpit did not line up with the clips on the seating areas. Worst was the poor quality of the eyelets in the sails, three had to be replaced after the first week of sailing and all were replaced after one year due to wear and tear. Cutting corners on cost for such a fundamental piece of equipment such as sails is a strange way to promote overall quality.

My Jeanneau SO440 is a joy to sail. I sail mostly single-handed with the walk around deck making it very easy to get to the bow when needed. Top notch quality with the only issues concerning items that are vendor supplied. Wide and spacious down below with the engine easily accessible. Fast and agile with the twin rudders and the bow thruster making for easy docking. The few things I would change are mostly personal preference. My dealer, Norton Yachts in Deltaville, Va has been great with support. I’ve been fortunate to also have the support from the people at Jeanneau. My first Jeanneau was a SO389 so this is not my first. The relationship I have with Norton’s and the people at JeanneauUSA makes owning a Jeanneau so much more enjoyable. I kind of feel part of the family.

I am a 65 year old female sailor from Turkey. I can use my Jeanneau SO 440 single handedly. Love especially the two design aspects: all-around-deck (not having to jump over seats and cushions to go to the mast!) and the deck with a slope (which enables the sails to be easily reachable when I am by the mast and do not have to climb !) Beautiful interior design (rectangular beds of 160 cm width in all 3 cabins! ) A design problem: main cabin door opens on to the head door (necessity to close the cabin door every time!) Quality of cabin ceilings can definitely be improved)

Excellent yacht. Just don’t like twin rudders for reversing into pen

The quality of some intems, like the faucets, showers etc is poor.

The quality of some work is not ok, like glue remains here and there, the fitting of the table in the saloon (does not fit when lowered), the Quick lock for genaker running rigging was of terrible quality (opened during sailing and sail fell into the ocean), some of the ropes of the running rigging was of low quality and had wear and tare after very short time. The floor inside sqeeks a lot! Otherwise, the boat is very good.

Walkaround concept is faboulous for families like us with 2 children aged 2 and 9.
The place of the kitchen is perfect, since you can easily have contact with cockpit.

the boat is very seaworthy and modern. not satisfied we were concerning the furling main. it was not possible to order a higher quality main, so we had to order a better sail from Elvström.
