A walkaround bridge plan to improve traffic flow
The main visible change is in the deck layout, with the adoption of a "walkaround" cockpit. This allows unobstructed access from the aft skirt to the bow, without steps or obstacles, via slightly sloping gangways. This design, already used on other models in the range, improves both safety and manoeuvrability, particularly when working on winches or manoeuvring in port. The cockpit, deep and protected, retains its double steering wheels and is extended by a vast bathing platform.
Modularity designed for the cruising program
The Sun Odyssey 415 is available in several draught versions. Three types of keel are available: a standard 2.25-meter version for offshore cruising, a short 1.60-meter keel for shallow waters, and a pivoting keel that allows the boat to be raised from 1.37 to 2.97 meters, expanding the range of anchoring options while maintaining good upwind performance. This modularity means the boat can be adapted to a wide range of water conditions, from long-distance cruising to coastal sailing.
Two or three cabins, with fluid circulation inside
The interior of the SO 415 features the classic L-shaped galley to starboard, with a large U-shaped saloon to port and a functional chart table. The two-cabin version offers ample storage space and a spacious aft cabin, while the three-cabin version retains a certain fairness of space for sleeping. Natural lighting is enhanced by large hull and coachroof portholes, reinforcing the impression of space. Light-colored wood, sober hues and integrated elements give the whole a modern, uncluttered feel.
Sober motorization and accessible rigging
In terms of propulsion, the Sun Odyssey 415 is equipped with a 45 hp in-line diesel engine, a guarantee of reliability and technical accessibility. The standard sail plan is based on a conventional horn mainsail and a self-tacking jib on a furler, facilitating short-handed maneuvers. Asymmetrical spinnaker and gennaker options allow you to expand your sailing program. The boat is designed for both charter and private ownership, with simple ergonomics and performance that the shipyard promises will be consistent and convincing, thanks to a contained displacement (7,684 kg) and an optimized hull.
A model that continues the Jeanneau line with consistency
With a length of 12.35 meters without the bowsprit (12.95 meters with), a beam of 3.99 meters, and a large storage volume (330 liters of water, 200 liters of diesel, 190 liters of refrigeration), the Sun Odyssey 415 continues the tradition of family cruisers mastered by the brand. It completes the Sun Odyssey range, which already includes the 349, 380, 440 and 490. With an entry-level price starting at 290,000 euros ex VAT, it's right at the heart of the market for cruising yachts in this segment, with a coherent specification sheet and production to Jeanneau standards.
With this new model, the Vendée-based shipyard confirms its commitment to reconciling cruising accessibility, modern ergonomics and modularity, while paying careful attention to finishes and the user experience. A cruiser designed for varied programs, in the spirit of the Sun Odyssey range.
