2002 JEANNEAU 43DS

2002 Jeanneau 43DS – One Owner – Above Average Condition – Turn Key

Offered by her original owners, “Pelican” is a standout example of the popular Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 DS. She has been exceptionally well-maintained with thoughtful upgrades that make her an ideal turnkey option for cruisers or liveaboards. Notable updates include a new set of Quantum Triradial Dacron sails (2020), a professionally stripped and epoxy barrier-coated bottom, and an  updated power system featuring a Xantrex 2000W inverter/charger, four Group-31 AGM batteries, and dual 120W solar panels with Victron controllers.

The rigging was inspected, the forestay replaced, and the mast was unstepped and re-stepped in 2020. The yacht also benefits from recent canvas upgrades, including a sturdy dodger and bimini. Inside, she features a desirable 2-cabin / 2-head layout, a spacious and well-lit deck salon, and air conditioning with heat pump. Galley equipment and interior joinery are all in excellent condition.

Surveyed in October 2024 and rated “Above Average” across all categories with no major findings or safety issues. Valuation supports current asking price. “Pelican” is ready for coastal cruising or extended liveaboard adventures and will appeal to clients seeking a clean, capable yacht with high ownership pride and documented care.
