Owners comments

"After looking at many other sail boats, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey DS stood out for us due to its spacious design, ideal for comfortable living as we would be liveaboards and completing long passages, but also feeling like it was a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom without compromising normal living space. Its blue water capabilities was another important factor to ensure durability and safety whilst crossing the Atlantic Ocean as well as other island hops and enjoying coastal cruising with a boat that could handle it all. The allure of a well-appointed owner's cabin sealed the deal, offering a private retreat within our floating home. After a long search and looking at many boats, Sea Thyme stole the show with the many listed additional extras that we wanted as creature comforts, not to mention only 1 single owner since new who looked after her as meticulously as we have."
