The yacht builders in Les Herbiers have completely redesigned the saloon. The convoluted and elaborate layout of the previous Sun Odyssey 410 model with the large, U-shaped galley built into the side, the too-small seating area on the starboard side and, above all, the unusual chaise longue in the centre of the saloon is history.
The layout of the new 415 is now more straightforward, without any ornamentation and, above all, much more conventional. And: thanks to the consistent removal of many obsolete built-in elements, the impression of space is more open and also feels much more spacious. The cabins forward and aft, on the other hand, remain the same size and are essentially furnished in the same way. Extension options are still possible in the foredeck, where a second wet room and the double berth can be fitted to the side with unchanged dimensions if desired.
New shapes at the rear
But the designers at Jeanneau have also made some changes on deck in collaboration with the designers from the Marc Lombard Yacht Design studio - particularly at the stern. The hull sides of the new boat are even more flared. In this way, Jeanneau wants to ensure that the double-guided backstay can be attached further out and that more space is available for the helmsman despite the walkaround cockpit.
With the new Sun Odyssey 415, the industry giant on the French west coast is not only presenting a fresh model for its popular touring range, but is also surprisingly lowering the price at the same time. The new Sun Odyssey 415 is now being presented at a base price of 260,610 euros gross (incl. 19 per cent VAT) and will be unveiled as a world premiere at the Yachting Festival in Cannes in September. This introductory price is initially valid for orders placed until the end of this year. From 2026, the regular base price will be 276,675 euros.
By way of comparison, the previous Sun Odyssey 410 model was last on offer for a gross price of 289,290 euros. This means a price reduction on the new boat of around 12,615 euros or just under five per cent compared to the previous model. A look at the price structure in this extremely homogeneous class with a hull length of twelve metres shows that the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 415 is now the cheapest boat among the competition.
The YACHT editorial team has already been on board the new Sun Odyssey 415 for a test. The first photos from the test run in the south of France are shown in the gallery above. The detailed test report with comments on the sailing characteristics, the performance data, the details on and below deck as well as a classification of Jeanneau's new pricing strategy is available for the YACHTissue 19/2025 is planned. The issue will be published at the beginning of September 2025.
