"Merlin" Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37

Skipper Must Hold A Minimum Of Day Skipper & Have Appropriate Experience | Maximum 10 Persons | Berths for 8

Welcome to Merlin
Sun Odysseys are well known for being very straight forward and rewarding to sail, they combine logical deck layouts, well proportioned hulls and rigs with comfortable and well appointed interiors. Merlin is no exception, the cockpit is a good size for up to 8 people, but as everything is led to the coach roof it is easy to sail Merlin with just 2 people.
Under sail
Merlin is well balanced but lively, a very enjoyable boat. Under motor Merlin is very predictable; the large keel and single spade rudder take all the stress out of close quarters manoeuvres. If the wind or tide do throw you a curve ball, it happens to us all, there is a bow thruster too just in case.

A well mannered user friendly 37ft boat. This is a great stepping stone from smaller keel boats to larger yachts. She is able to carry 10 people.
Below deck
There are 2 double aft cabins, to starboard is the galley, to port the heads. Moving forward a forward facing navigation table and instrument panel, opposite a u shaped settee and dining table. In the forward cabin, another double berth. Altogether Merlin can comfortably sleep 8 adults. There is good head room throughout.
