Description
Preliminary Listing 12/6 - Additional Details Coming
“Margaritaville” is a beautifully kept, single-owner Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 DS now resting on the hard at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard in Annapolis. Surveyed in October 2025 for the owner by a respected Annapolis area surveyor and rated in above-average condition, she reflects the kind of thoughtful care that stands out in today’s market. This is the desirable two-stateroom and two-head layout with the sought-after large centerline aft stateroom, the shoal draft keel, and in-mast furling that Jeanneau owners appreciate for comfortable and easy cruising. The owners loved this boat so much that they founded the Jeanneau Sailboat Owners Group on the Chesapeake Bay, and after many years of wonderful cruising, they have decided it is time for someone else to enjoy the boat as much as they have. Freshly detailed inside and out with new bottom paint applied in November 2025, “Margaritaville” is clean, bright, and ready for her next chapter.
