The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 Deck Salon is one of the finest design innovations to come along in recent years. The raised salon deck and L-shaped galley provide panoramic views from the spacious and wonderfully sunny interior. With 270 degrees of view, any crew inside never has the sense that they're "down below." Everyone feels like they are part of the action. The lush, warm teak interior, with its endless storage cabinets and lockers, is complemented by a flood of natural light to create the ultimate in comfort for the casual or long range cruiser.

The arrangement of sleeping berths offers accommodations for any variety of crew. With three double berths, two single berths, and the settee bunk, Chiquita is surely perfect for multiple couples, but also great for a group of up to 6 singles requiring individual bunks. The possibilities are endless, really - two couples wanting to hire a skipper for a Chesapeake cruising adventure would easily have the space and privacy they need. Furthermore, this elegant yacht shows many signs of the owner's touch. Chiquita has a nav table with a built-in charting protractor, large and separate chartplotters at the helm and nav station, as well as a massive bank of house-battery power.
