Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a used Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 means looking at a 37'2" cruiser built between 2011 and 2015, with Marc Lombard's performance hull and a reputation for ergonomic, easy-to-handle deck design. Most used examples will show the wear patterns of their history — and ex-charter boats are common — but the model's documented baseline is consistent enough that a buyer can focus on configuration and condition rather than chasing known design faults.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both two- and three-cabin versions are available; ex-charter examples are common. The boat was sold in a two-cabin layout with the option of adding a third cabin, and all configurations are limited to a single head with a separate shower area. Below, expect a U-shaped dinette to starboard and a straight settee to port tied by a drop-leaf table, with the dinette also forming a berth so up to eight can sleep aboard. The master stateroom is a standard V-berth, and the L-shaped galley to starboard carries twin sinks, a two-burner stove, and a top-loading refrigerator, with space for an optional microwave. A compact aft-facing nav station opposite the settee and a large access hatch to stowage below the cockpit seat round out the interior.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, bimini, autopilot, chartplotter, dodger, and swim platform are commonly fitted. Often-seen equipment includes heating, spinnaker, furling main, hot water, life raft, teak decks, cockpit shower, AIS, and radar. Sometimes seen or owner upgrades include asymmetric spinnaker, solar, air conditioning, inverter, gennaker, bow thruster, and electric winches. The 379's fixed cockpit table was designed with a place to install a swiveling chartplotter, so a fitted unit is not unusual. LED lights, solid wood moldings, and sliding privacy curtains on the hull ports are part of the original finishing.
What to Inspect
The documented record on the Sun Odyssey 379 is descriptive rather than defect-led; no structural or systems fault is flagged in the manufacturer or editorial sources. A wide midship lifeline gate and drop-down transom swim platform are features to confirm operate smoothly, since they are moving hardware exposed to loading and water. The shoal-draft winged keel with centerboard and twin short rudders is a configuration whose twin short rudders for control is noted in the source with a truncated maneuvering clause, so inspect the centerboard trunk and rudder posts for wear if that version is offered. Otherwise, standard used-boat diligence on the Yanmar diesel, soft-close galley drawers, and hull ports applies.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Sun Odyssey 379 include the United States, France, United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, and Türkiye. For a buyer, the practical checklist is short: confirm whether the example is two- or three-cabin and ex-charter; verify the keel type (deep bulb or shoal centerboard); check the drop-down transom and lifeline gate action; confirm which commonly fitted items (bimini, autopilot, chartplotter, dodger, swim platform) are present; and budget for often-seen upgrades (heating, furling main, AIS) if missing. The 379 is a well-documented, configurable small cruiser with no flagged systemic issues in the literature.
