Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used market for a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 means looking at a 37'2" Marc Lombard design built between 2011 and 2015, with a performance-oriented hull and a focus on easy sail handling. The boat's twin-wheel cockpit, drop-down swim platform, and flexible cabin count make it a practical cruiser, but buyers should weigh keel configuration and layout against intended use.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are more common on the used market, though both two- and three-cabin versions appear, and ex-charter examples are common. The standard arrangement is a two-cabin plan with the option of a third cabin, always with a single head and a separate shower area in both configurations. The salon's U-shaped dinette and straight settee tie together at a drop-leaf table, and the dinette converts to a berth for up to eight sleepers. An L-shaped galley with twin sinks, a two-burner stove, and top-load refrigeration serves the interior, with a compact aft-facing nav station opposite.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
For a boat of this size, the most consequential equipment clusters around power, sail handling, and navigation. Biminis, dodgers, and a cockpit shower are commonly fitted, and a swim platform is standard from the drop-down transom. Autopilots and chartplotters are commonly fitted, with the cockpit table built to accept a swiveling plotter. Sail handling often includes furling main and a spinnaker, while heating and hot water are often seen for temperate cruising. Less common owner upgrades include solar panels and lithium batteries for extended off-grid power, and radar or an asymmetric spinnaker for specific passage plans.
What to Inspect
The 379's keel and rudder configuration varies by draft choice: the deep keel uses a single spade rudder, while the shoal-draft winged keel with centerboard uses twin short rudders. A buyer should confirm the centerboard mechanism on shoal-draft versions and the condition of the drop-down transom hinge and seals, since the swim platform is a moving structure exposed to repeated wet cycles.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Used Sun Odyssey 379s typically appear in the United States, France, United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, and Türkiye. For a shopper, the short checklist is: confirm keel type against intended cruising depth, verify the third cabin is present if berth count matters, test the drop-down transom operation, and check whether the furling main and heating are fitted for your climate. The 379 rewards the buyer who matches its layout and keel to their waters rather than treating all examples as interchangeable.
