The Sun Odyssey 455 completes the Sun Odyssey range, engineered to deliver the interior volume and cabin comfort of larger yachts inside a more maneuverable 45-foot hull. Designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group and Piaton Yacht Design, the 455 combines space efficiency with easy handling — offering accommodation that rivals much bigger boats without sacrificing the ease of sailing shorthanded.
Her most talked-about innovation is the inboard primary winch placement: rather than crowding the quarter seats, the winches sit inboard beneath wraparound coamings via 90° cheek blocks. That frees up protected, practical standing positions at the helm while keeping deck access clear for the whole crew. A sculpted navigation seat offers chaise-style comfort on passage, and a solid grab rail runs the length of the galley for safety and stability when heeling.
SEANAPPS Technology
Like every new Jeanneau, the Sun Odyssey 455 comes SEANAPPS-equipped: live boat monitoring, real-time alerts, geofencing and anchoring assistance, maintenance recommendations, a digital maintenance log, and a navigation logbook, all from your phone.

Design
Below decks, the standard layout offers three cabins and two heads, with four- and five-cabin charter configurations available for owners running the boat commercially. The forward master cabin rivals larger models with an island berth and a generous en suite. Aft cabins are spacious and functional, and a dedicated workshop/utility compartment — in place of a third head — adds hanging storage and removable crates for gear, tools, and provisioning. On deck, the well-integrated galley and secure cockpit continue the walk-around deck philosophy that defines the current Sun Odyssey generation.
Under power, the standard 57 hp Yanmar saildrive delivers 8.7 knots flat-out and a comfortable 7.3-knot cruise. Under sail, she’s a lively performer even in light air, with the option of laminate mains and more roach for owners who want to push performance further.
Personalize Your 455
Options include the expanded 200-liter fuel tank, a bow thruster, upgraded laminate sail wardrobe, solar panels, a water-maker, and additional battery banks — all suited to longer passages and extended time away from the dock.
