The Jacques Faroux designed Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37 was one of the most popular models built by Chantiers Jeanneau. The design perfectly blends fast cruising performance with comfort and seaworthiness.
„Best Mate“ is a fine example of the marque and has had just two owners since new,. She benefits from having the deep fin keel option, to expand your cruising horizons and the two cabin ‚Owners‘ layout with saloon layout version. This gives a generously proportioned heads and shower rooom aft with additional storage.
This yacht is UK Vat Paid, and has been much cherished by both her owners. A great service history comes with this boat, with standing rigging replaced in 2024
This yacht is well equipped, and is fitted with a bow thruster, diesel fire central heating, a full cockpit enclosure and a full navigation suite including radar plus much much more.
She is berthed at Salcombe, with viewing by arrangement – access is easy with just a little forward planning. Please call Chris Atterton on 07702 542680 to arrange viewing

Manufacturer Provided DescriptionDesigned by Jacques Fauroux, the Sun Odyssey 37 combines beauty with performance. This twin personality is perfectly illustrated by Jeanneau cruising sailboats. The best examples are the smooth roof design and the deck layout. The helmseats set out to the cockpit coamings provide the ideal position for steering. On the performance side, the keel – ballast ratio improves sailing stability, and the generous sail area keeps the boat moving well under all conditions. The Sun Odyssey 37 comes standard with quality sailing hardware. Of note are the Harken two-speed self-tailing winches, the block of stoppers for sail controls led to the cockpit, the genoa furler, the „full batten“ mainsail, the electric windlass, and the swim ladder and stern shower for refreshing swims off the stern. Everything desired for safety and comfort is included as standard. The Sun Odyssey 37 is an extremely comfortable boat below. The layout is designed for practical and comfortable cruising. In the two-cabin version, the interior is centered around a salon – L-shaped galley with a traditional nav table to port. Located aft is a very large and well-ventilated washroom with a marine head and shower. The two cabins spread across the full forward beam and, to starboard, the wide space aft. The cabins have comfortable berths, lots of floor space, storage cabinets and lockers, and opening hull ports for good ventilation. In the three-cabin version, the classic layout has two separate cabins aft and a large forward owner’s cabin with all the amenities for comfortable living.

Owners Comments:
Whilst we have only lightly used ‚Best Mate‘, we have made some great memories with her! She had just one owner before us who also used her lightly, and like ourselves kept her well maintained.
