2023 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 Boat in Kemah, TX 77565 US

Vesper is a 2023 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 based at Watergate Yachting Center in Kemah, Texas, and one of the most thoughtfully equipped 44-footers to come to market on the Gulf Coast. She is finished in the desirable two-cabin, two-head layout plus a dedicated workshop/storage space - currently set up as a garage rather than a berth, but fully air conditioned with a mattress platform already in place, so a future owner can easily convert it back into a third sleeping cabin. She also carries an additional Vitrifrigo freezer in the aft cabin garage.

Since splashing, Vesper has been professionally maintained and operated within the SailTime Houston Owner-Member fleet - never in bareboat charter. Her monthly, hourly, 100-hour, quarterly, and annual maintenance logs are complete and will transfer with the boat, giving a buyer a documented, professionally managed service history that is difficult to find in a privately owned boat of this age.

She is powered by the upgraded Yanmar 57 HP shaft-drive engine (948 hours) rather than the standard 45 HP saildrive, backed by an Onan Cummins MDKBJ-W 7.5kW generator (422 hours). All three Dometic air conditioning units have recently been replaced with new units. Her electronics are comprehensive: Raymarine i70s multifunction display, depth and masthead wind sensors, Ray63 VHF with an external handset, a 700NM AIS transceiver, p70s autopilot with a wireless remote, dual Axiom Pro 9 touchscreen chartplotters with WiFi, Quantum 2 radar, and Navionics+ cartography.

Her cockpit is fully cushioned in the original manufacturer upholstery, including the fold-out sun deck from her Convertible Cockpit Pack, and she was just fitted with a brand-new bimini in September 2026. She is built with the Excellence interior package - upholstered bulkheads, indirect LED lighting, sound-deadening cabinet lining, saloon window and hatch shades, and a wine locker under the floorboards - finished in "Ambiance Ocean" upholstery. On deck she carries the Downwind Pack (spinnaker/Code 0 hardware, extra coachroof winch, Windex), electric primary and coachroof winches, a retractable electric bow thruster, an electric transom platform drive, and a folding "Luxe" saloon table. Both heads have electric quiet-flush, fresh-water toilets. A Fusion stereo with Bose speakers and a subwoofer covers the saloon and cockpit, and she carries a 3-blade folding propeller, 2000VA inverter, TV antenna, and dark oak laminate floorboards with a teak cockpit sole.

Vesper offers a rare dual opportunity: she can be purchased for private use, or a buyer can choose to keep her in the SailTime Houston fleet, with a three-year fleet extension available to the new owner. Remaining in the fleet is entirely optional and not a condition of purchase, but for the right buyer it offers a turnkey path into managed yacht ownership with documented income potential.
