Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS Owners version Just Listed

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS - Owner's Version - Fully Equipped

Liberté is the highly sought-after two-cabin Owner's Version of the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS -- a beautifully presented, extensively equipped and proven cruising yacht that is genuinely ready for her next adventure.

After five years cruising the Queensland coast, we have continued to maintain and upgrade Liberté with long-term cruising, comfort and easy short-handed sailing in mind. She has travelled extensively from Hobart to Lizard Island over her lifetime and has proven herself to be a safe, comfortable and capable cruising yacht.

Importantly, many of the major expenses a buyer would normally anticipate when purchasing a yacht of this age have already been addressed.

Recent upgrades and major cruising equipment include:
o New Contender Fibrecon Pro in-mast furling mainsail - 2025
o New Contender Fibrecon Pro 115% furling genoa - 2025
o Standing rigging replaced and upgraded - 2021; professionally inspected May 2025
o 850W solar array with Victron MPPT controller
o D400 wind generator
o Victron 3000W inverter
o Rainman 120L/hr watermaker
o Max Power bow thruster
o Electric Harken two-speed self-tailing winch
o Raymarine navigation, radar and AIS
o Starlink Gen2 plus CEL-FI GO cellular booster
o New 2.9m Aurora Reef Rider Classic tender - 2026
o New Honda 6hp outboard - 2025, with 7-year warranty
o Heavy-duty stainless tender davits
o Honda 2.0i portable generator

Her reliable 54hp Yanmar diesel has a comprehensive service history, while her in-mast furling, electric winch, bow thruster and twin-wheel cockpit make her particularly easy to manage for a couple or when sailing short-handed.

Below decks, the desirable Owner's Version provides an exceptionally spacious full-width aft owner's cabin with a 2m x 2m king-size bed and ensuite, plus a generous forward cabin with its own head and shower. The light-filled deck saloon offers more than 2m headroom, comfortable leather seating and excellent storage throughout.

Liberté is equipped for extended independent cruising rather than simply weekends away.

Along with her solar, wind generation and watermaker, she has 355L water capacity, 190L Vitrifrigo fridge/freezer, additional 50L dual-zone fridge/freezer, 3.5kg washing machine, 40L hot-water system, portable air conditioning and extensive spares, tools and maintenance supplies.

Her full cruising inventory, linen, crockery, cutlery and other useful equipment will remain aboard.

Antifouled in June and regularly serviced and maintained, Liberté comes with detailed maintenance records, receipts and manuals.
This is very much a walk-on, provision and sail-away yacht.
We are selling only because, after five wonderful years cruising aboard Liberté, it is time for a new adventure for us -- and a new chapter for her.

East-coast delivery at our expense may be considered for the right buyer.

Currently doing our farewell sail to Lizard Island. Back in Cairns around 18 October weather permitting for inspection etc. Happy to send more pics or do a video tour as required in the meantime. Note that until we depart Lizard Island next week, phone calls may or may not get through but email will.
