The continued success of the revolutionary concept introduced in the Sun Odyssey 40 DS has driven Jeanneau to further its Deck Salon line with the Sun Odyssey 43 DS, again designed by Daniel Andrieu.
As innovative as its predecessor, the Sun Odyssey 43 DS conserves the concept of bringing bright natural lighting from the roof, and thanks to a fresh and clever design, has a very large aft cabin plus a wide cockpit.
These boats are built with heavy use in mind with good construction & features.
