JEANNEAU SUN ODYSSEY 40.3 FOR SALE IN BARCELONA · 2005

This 2005 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.3 for sale in Barcelona, named Alimoche, offers a particularly complete cruising setup: two cabins, two heads, a 55 hp Yanmar diesel, Lewmar bow thruster, Raymarine navigation electronics, autopilot, electric windlass and a large solar panel providing useful autonomy while at anchor.

The interior makes very effective use of her roughly twelve-metre length. The saloon has two opposing seating areas, a large central table and a separate navigation station, while the two double cabins and two complete heads make extended stays with family or guests considerably more comfortable.

On deck, the furling genoa, fully battened mainsail, lazy jacks, cockpit-led controls, bow thruster and electric windlass all contribute to easier handling. It is this combination of accommodation, manoeuvrability and autonomy that best defines the yacht.

Why this Sun Odyssey 40.3 stands out

The Sun Odyssey 40.3 is a cruising yacht built around a practical deck layout and generous interior volume. On Alimoche, that platform is complemented by a 55 hp engine, Lewmar bow thruster and equipment clearly aimed at active cruising rather than marina-only use.

The large solar panel mounted on an elevated stern frame is especially useful in real cruising conditions, helping support onboard electrical loads and batteries when spending time away from shore power.

Fontnautic opinion

Alimoche is a very coherent choice for buyers looking for a roughly 40-foot sailing yacht that can genuinely accommodate family or guests. The combination of two cabins, two heads and a spacious saloon makes longer stays aboard practical without creating an unnecessarily complicated layout.

We also value the fact that the important equipment is spread across several areas of real use: 55 hp Yanmar, Lewmar bow thruster, Raymarine electronics, autopilot, Lofrans windlass and solar power. Rather than relying on one headline extra, the yacht offers a balanced package supporting navigation, manoeuvring, anchoring and life aboard.

Its location and configuration make it well suited to cruising the Catalan coast, the Balearics and longer Mediterranean itineraries.
