Review
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2 is a spacious modern family cruiser, with excellent accommodation.
Designed by Jacques Faroux, she has her maximum beam carried well aft, giving the option of an 'owners' version (as in the example illustrated here) with one aft cabin with a very large berth and a large heads compartment.

The accommodation of the single aft cabin version illustrated here starts with a vee-berth forecabin, which has lockers and standing room aft of the berth itself. The saloon has a linear galley along the port side, with an oval seating area to starboard. The central padded stool can be moved out from under the table for additional seating if required, and the oval table drops to create another double berth. The chart table is to starboard, with a very good sized heads compartment opposite. Finally the aft cabin has another double berth, plus good locker space.
There is a useful wet hanging locker in the heads compartment. The linear galley has very good workspace, and a large refrigerated coolbox.

Moreover, this particular boat is an excellent example of the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2 with a very easy to manage deck plan, spacious cockpit and comfortable interior. Good range of electronics, including autopilot and sails. Always highly maintained by owner.
