2018 Jeanneau 51

Ready to Cruise Fully Equipped Bluewater Yacht with Premium Upgrades

Meet Latitude 25. This meticulously maintained Jeanneau 51 offers an X-Grid Mylar Mainsail and a X-Grid Mylar 100% Genoa. Sails are lighter and retain shape giving better lift than Dacron. Light Air Sails include code zero and asymmetrical with pole for clean air.

Built for Bluewater Cruising, this Jeanneau 51 is more than a luxury cruiser-it's a proven offshore platform, thoughtfully equipped for serious passagemaking and extended time aboard.

Designed by Philippe Briand with performance and safety at the forefront, her hull form delivers a confident, stable ride in offshore conditions while remaining responsive and enjoyable under sail. The shoal draft keel opens access to destinations like the Bahamas and Chesapeake Bay without compromising offshore capability.

Her sail plan is optimized for versatility and ease of handling, featuring an in-mast furling mainsail, upgraded X-Grid Mylar performance sails, Code Zero, and asymmetrical spinnaker-allowing efficient sailing across a wide range of wind conditions. Electric winches, a bow thruster, and well-designed deck layout make shorthanded sailing both practical and safe.

Below deck, she is fully outfitted for long-term independence. A watermaker, washer/ dryer, solar array, large battery bank, and 8kW generator provide reliable off-grid capability, while three-zone air conditioning ensures comfort in any climate. Ample fuel and water capacity support extended passages with fewer stops.

The yacht's robust systems-including a Yanmar 110HP engine, shaft drive, Max-Prop, and redundant navigation electronics-deliver the reliability and redundancy expected of a true bluewater cruiser.

On deck, features like the secure cockpit, full enclosure, wide side decks, and integrated safety equipment-including liferaft and high-quality ground tackle-enhance both safety and livability at sea.

Whether you're planning coastal cruising, island hopping, or offshore passages, this Jeanneau 51 is exceptionally well prepared to take you there in comfort, safety, and style.
