Overview

About this charter

The 2018 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 389 Southern Cross is an ideal cruising yacht for smaller crews desiring an exceptional sailing experience. Comfortable, spacious and seaworthy are the watchwords for this Sun Odyssey. Incorporating the latest, most innovative technology of the line, the Sun Odyssey 389 offers speed, stability and good seakeeping. A true cruiser designed by Marc Lombard!

Southern Cross offers the best of both worlds with a wide, open cockpit for entertaining and outstanding accommodations below deck. On deck, the cockpit area stands out for entertaining and ease of sailing. Southern Cross offers mainsail in-mast furling. This option, along with the standard furling genoa and all control lines running back to the cockpit, allows you to easily sail the 389. The drop-down transom allows for easy access to the water and proves to be the most popular spot while anchored.

Southern Cross comes complete with full electronics, chart plotter, autopilot, in-mast furling, and a bow thruster.
