Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 | Full Interior & Exterior Tour
Join Jude and Richard from Sailing Helios for a full walkthrough of the brand-new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 straight from the Düsseldorf Boat Show 2026!
This 45-footer (LOA 14.28 m) is already one of the stars of the show — it had an incredibly strong debut with 8 boats sold on the floor alone. Jeanneau has nailed the perfect mix of performance sailing and liveaboard comfort, and we were seriously impressed by how cleverly they’ve used every single inch of space.
In this episode, we show you everything we loved most:
• The massive forward sail locker (sailors are calling it a true “monster” — easily one of the best in class)
• The brand-new integrated workshop/storage area (our absolute favourite — it easily fits tools, spares, washer/dryer, extra fridge or even ventilated produce storage)
• The bright, spacious interior that feels way bigger than 45 ft
• Clever storage solutions everywhere, ergonomic cockpit, walkaround decks and a layout that’s perfect for short-handed cruising or family adventures
Reviewers and visitors at the show are raving about it being “practical, user-friendly, ergonomic and one of the best cruising boats in its class” — with thoughtful design that makes real-world sailing and living aboard so much easier. We really like this boat — it just feels right.
What do you think — would the new Sun Odyssey 455 make your shortlist? Drop a comment and let us know!
