New Chartplotter and VHS radio in March 2023.
New 6 hp Mercury outboard December 2023.
This is a VERY VERSATILE boat. You can either have TWO MASSIVE SUITES, with THREE heads, or THREE, or FOUR CABINS. A great feature is that the forward cabin has His & Hers Heads with Showers. Or you can use one just for showering and keeping the other one dry. Either way, the two heads for the forward cabin are a great comfort.
So, when you visit this boat, what strikes you most is how versatile the layout is.
To stern, you have a very spacious full-beam aft cabin, also with an ensuite head. Now play with dividing walls, and you can transform this boat into a 3 or even a 4 cabin boat! Even in the 4 cabin arrangement, you can sleep 8. Not to mention the dinette can drop and become a berth for 2.
And it has 3 heads to accommodate that crew! For that reason too, it comes with a 10 person life raft.
As a serious bluewater boat, the dinghy is stored on the forward deck.
At the stern, there is a solar panel frame, with support for the outboard motor, and a propane barbecue.
Real teak is found throughout the cockpit and decks.
Complete new set of Raymarine electronics at both helms in 2020!
New Raymarine Axiom-12 chart plotter being installed March '23 at the navstation.
This current owner purchased her in Europe and sailed safely and comfortably with his family, all the way from the Med to the Caribbean, and then up to Fort Lauderdale, followed by many sails to Key West, The Abaco's and The Bahamas. December 2021 she sailed to The Dominican Republic, and then to Puerto Rico. Owner uses the boat as much as possible, keeping all systems functional.
She is TAX PAID, making her "AVAILABLE for Sale to US Residents While in US Waters".
July of 2021 we restored the teak decks, polishing all the chrome, fiberglass deck and hull, and restoring any wear on the inside cabinetry. Check out the photo gallery taken on July 23rd, 2021!
August 2021 we refinished any blemishes to the gelcoat on the deck, addressing any spider cracks or chips that occur on any used boat.
New Bottom paint January 2023.
I love working with this owner as he has an open checkbook mentality. He's even replacing the leather on the helm wheel, which was really fine. The boat looks better in person.

Considering this listing is by far the lowest price 49 DS worldwide, we feel it is being seen as in poor condition and with the recent service we feel $200,000 is still competitive considering its upkeep and location.

Manufacturer Provided Description
Jeanneau presents the signature new model for 2005. The Sun Odyssey 49 DS was conceived using the “Deck Salon” concept of the Sun Odyssey 54 DS. Like her big sister, she adopts the teardrop-shaped windows; a key to the success and something to emulate. Her performance-orientated hull designed by Philippe Briand / Jeanneau Design and the new generation deck line created by Vittorio Garroni ensures the boat is not only elegant but comfortable at sea.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
