Jeanneau Yachts 64 Sailboats for Sale

Layouts on the Used Market

The yacht was offered as a semi-custom with several thousand combinations of fabrics, woods, and interior and exterior layouts, but Jeanneau did not permit fully custom interior features. On the used market the fixed elements are the port galley and starboard saloon dinette; everything else was modular. A full-width owner’s stateroom could be placed aft or forward with two other ensuite staterooms opposite, while small cabins became pantry-workshop, day head, bunks, or nav office, and the forepeak a sail locker or crew quarters. Charter four-cabin boats are the more common on the used market, but both layouts are available.

Equipment and Common Upgrades

Commonly fitted equipment on brokerage boats centers on comfort and handling: electric winches, teak decks, air conditioning, autopilot, watermaker, bow thruster, chartplotter, swim platform, inverter, radar, and bimini are usual. For buyer consequence, power and energy systems—watermaker, inverter, bow thruster—matter most for independent cruising, while canvas and sail handling items like the bimini and electric winches reduce crew load. Often-seen upgrades include a furling main and short-handed setup that simplify solo or couple sailing, plus a life raft and AIS for safety. Less common owner additions such as lithium batteries, solar, and dinghy davits signal a serious cruising refit but are not standard.

What to Inspect

The standard four-bladed Flexofold folding propeller showed strong directional pull under power on a test boat, presumably from maladjustment prop walk tied to propeller maladjustment, so confirm prop alignment and backing behavior at survey. The vacuum-infused hull and deck are cored with discontinuous end-grain balsa set in polyester resin, with solid laminate around the keel root and plywood under high-load deck hardware vacuum-infused hull and deck cored with balsa; check those interfaces for compression or moisture. The bottom is barrier-coated to thwart osmotic blistering, and the single rudder is fiberglass over foam with a stainless stock—inspect for gelcoat cracks or stock corrosion.

Availability and Buyer's Takeaway

These yachts typically appear in the United States, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, and the United Kingdom. For a buyer, the checklist is brief: verify the layout matches intended use (charter four-cabin versus owner three-cabin), confirm commonly fitted systems operate, inspect the prop and core boundaries, and budget for any short-handed or lithium upgrades if long-term cruising is planned.
