Our Yacht is a 2007 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39DS. She is a very comfortable boat, with two cabins and a lovely saloon area, below decks.
‘Carried Away’ is equipped with a bathing deck and ladder for easy access to and from the water, Wi-Fi and a full Bimini cover to chill under once you have had enough sun. There is also a saltwater wash off on the bathing deck.
With room on the foredeck for sunbathing, there will always be somewhere for you to relax and soak up the atmosphere the Caribbean has to offer.
