From first glance, you can tell that the Sun Odyssey 415 has the clean, easily recognizable lines of a Jeanneau, and there’s a reason for that—it’s a hull we’ve seen before. The 415 uses the same design as the popular 410, but with a revamped and improved interior layout to give owners more of what they need on the water. Twin helms are spaced far apart, making for good sightlines down the sidedecks but a bit of a reach between them, and the corresponding twin rudders keep the boat grippy even when heeled. A full-length hard chine down low increases initial stability, and the design carries lots of its beam forward. A walk-around deck offers good accessibility to the bow. According to Jeanneau, the model was designed with an eye towards cost efficiency, “giving new owners access to excellence without breaking the bank.”
