Types of Jeanneau Yachts

Jeanneau offers one of the most diverse charter lineups on the market, with each type of Jeanneau yacht—ranging from sailboats to motorboats—designed for comfort, performance, and easy cruising depending on the experience you want.

Jeanneau boats are renowned for their versatility, offering both sailboats fit for sport sailing and motorboats ideal for cruising with friends and family. This ability to construct both sailboats and motorboats has earned Jeanneau a loyal following among boating enthusiasts.

Sun Odyssey & Jeanneau Yachts Lines

The Sun Odyssey range is the heart of many Jeanneau yachts charter fleets worldwide. Sun Odyssey models are popular cruising sailboats known for their comfort and performance, and are available in various sizes. Some of the most iconic Jeanneau models currently available include the Sun Odyssey 410, Sun Odyssey 440, Sun Odyssey 349, Sun Odyssey 490, and Sun Odyssey 380. These boats are designed for enjoyable cruising: bright interiors, sociable cockpit layouts, and user-friendly systems that make everyday life onboard simple. They’re ideal for family holidays, island hopping, and relaxed coastal routes.

For guests seeking a more “premium big-yacht feel” in a monohull, Jeanneau’s larger yachts (often referred to as the Jeanneau Yachts line in the market) excel in spacious living, elegant design, and long-range comfort—while keeping handling manageable.

Sun Fast Line

If you want more speed and sharper sailing response, the Sun Fast line is Jeanneau’s performance-focused range. These models are built for sailors who enjoy a more dynamic feel at the helm—livelier acceleration, sportier trim, and a design language influenced by offshore performance.

Merry Fisher, NC & Leader Lines

Merry Fisher: practical, comfortable, and easy to operate—perfect for coastal cruising, day-to-day flexibility, and relaxed family trips.

NC: modern enclosed cruising with excellent visibility, social deck flow, and a “weekend apartment on the water” feel.

Leader / DB (depending on destination fleets): sportier styling and higher cruising speeds, ideal for hopping between anchorages and maximizing water-time.
