Used Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 24.2 Sailboats for Sale

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 24.2 represents a pivotal era in the French shipyard’s history, marking a successful effort to pack true cruising capabilities into a trailerable, sub-25-foot hull. Introduced in the mid-1990s as a successor to the Sun Odyssey 24.1, the 24.2 was designed by Jacek Centowski and built largely at the Ostroda Yachts facility in Poland. It was conceived as a "pocket cruiser" that refused to compromise on essential amenities, offering a level of interior volume and private accommodation rarely seen in boats of this size. The model remained in production until the early 2000s, serving as an accessible entry point for families transitioning from dinghy sailing to coastal cruising. According to the Jeanneau Official Archive, the vessel was offered in both fixed-keel and lifting-keel configurations, catering to both deep-water coastal sailors and those navigating the shallow estuaries of Northern Europe and the Chesapeake.
