Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349 Buyer's Guide
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349 has become a familiar name on the brokerage market since production began in 2014, with ex-charter examples common and both cabin layouts circulating among private sellers. For a shopper, the appeal is a small cruiser that punches above its length: Marc Lombard’s chined hull, twin wheels and modular interior make it as manageable to own as it is to sail, provided you know which configurations and documented weak points to check before signing.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available. The two-cabin version trades the third berth for extra lazarette storage to port and a larger head with a sizable stall shower, while the three-cabin model gives three true double berths and a single head. Either way the saloon carries 6ft 3in of headroom with a drop-leaf table, a dedicated aft-facing nav station, and a V-berth forward over the water tank. Ex-charter boats will typically show heavier wear in the high-traffic saloon, galley and heads, the spaces testers found the 349 gets right for family cruising.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market a swim platform, chartplotter, autopilot, bimini and cockpit shower are commonly fitted, and you will often see heating, a furling main, hot water, solar, a code zero and AIS on board. Less common but seen as owner upgrades are dodgers, teak decks, asymmetric and symmetric spinnakers, bow thrusters, lithium batteries and inverters. The original specification allowed a square-top mainsail for 11 percent more area, a Facnor-furled headsail, four Harken winches with Spinlock jammers, LED lighting throughout, and a Flexofold folding prop as an option; a B&G multifunction display at the starboard helm featured on the test boat.
What to Inspect
The survey record on the 349 is light but specific. Leech control is compromised when the jib is reefed, a direct result of the flying-eye jib sheet leads used in place of jib cars flying-eye leads compromise leech control when reefed. The twin rudders’ only noted drawback is a lack of feel at the wheels, worth confirming on a sea trial wheels lack feel from the twin-rudder layout. Otherwise the documented structure — hand-laid hull with fiberglass grid, Prisma-process balsa-cored deck, twin rudders and drop-down transom — shows no systemic defects in the available material.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Sun Odyssey 349 are the United States, Croatia, Greece, the United Kingdom, Italy and France, with ex-charter boats common and three-cabin owner versions more prevalent than two-cabin. Before you buy:
- Confirm whether the boat is a two- or three-cabin layout and match it to your use
- Check jib-reef leech control and wheel feel under sail
- Verify the presence of commonly fitted gear (chartplotter, autopilot, bimini, cockpit shower)
- Inspect the drop-down transom gas-assist and balsa-cored deck for charter wear
