Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455: A Capable Cruiser for Longer Passages
Jeanneau’s new Sun Odyssey 455 sailing yacht, unveiled in late 2025, now joins the shipyard’s long line of successful performance cruisers. Replacing the popular Sun Odyssey 440 and 490, the new 455 has big shoes to fill. While slightly smaller on paper than the 490, this 46-footer does a remarkable job of maximizing the layouts to feel every bit as spacious as her bigger sister, yet easier to handle. Jeanneau has taken what worked so well in earlier models and refined it by paying attention to ergonomics, adding more storage, and making life aboard more fluid. It’s a great yacht, whether you’re island-hopping or crossing blue water.
