A high freeboard and a chopped off transom give her an unmistakable profile.
The DB/43 IB carries a plumb bow, a substantial windshield and a hardtop scaled to match, all drawn in house by Jeanneau’s own design team. It is a deliberately confident shape, one that reads as considerably more than thirteen metres from the water, and it shares its language directly with the smaller DB/37, scaled up rather than reinvented. The aft bulwarks are the signature detail: hinged sections that fold flat and widen the stern beam by close to two metres, transforming a conventional swim platform into a genuine waterline terrace. It is the kind of feature that photographs well at anchor and earns its keep every time she stops for the day.
Twin Volvo Penta diesels, and options for owners who want more.
The standard Volvo D6 380 gives way to a D6 440 or a D6 480 for owners chasing sharper acceleration, though all three share the same reliable Volvo Penta architecture and dealer network. Cruising at 25 knots and reaching 35 at the top, the DB/43 IB covers distance efficiently for a boat of her displacement, helped by an 800 litre tank that delivers a genuine 300 nautical mile range. Jeanneau’s own engineering department oversees the build, the same team responsible for the smaller DB/37, which keeps construction quality and after sales support consistent across the range. A hull shaped for a soft ride underpins the whole package, absorbing chop rather than transmitting it through to the deck.
The cockpit and swim platform work as one continuous space once she stops.
Fold down bulwarks extend the stern beam considerably, creating a level, teak finished platform at the waterline that turns swimming and boarding into an effortless part of the day rather than an afterthought. Forward of that, the main cockpit carries the hardtop’s shade over dining and lounging areas built for a full guest list. The high freeboard that gives her such presence at the dock also means a drier ride and more protected deck space underway, a genuine practical benefit rather than just a styling choice. It is a layout that scales up everything the DB/37 does well, built for an owner who wants the same day boat formula with noticeably more room to enjoy it.
A forward master with hull windows that run almost to the bow itself.
The owner’s cabin sits in the bow, lit by windows that follow the hull nearly to the stem and bring in more natural light than the space would otherwise get below the waterline. A second cabin amidships offers a double berth to port with an additional single to starboard, flexible enough for a family or a second couple. Sleeping four across two cabins, the DB/43 IB is built as a genuine overnight boat rather than a day boat with beds added as an afterthought. The finish favours practical materials suited to salt air and wet feet over anything precious, in keeping with a boat meant to be used properly rather than kept for show.
The largest inboard DB to date, priced to match her ambition.
At 550,000 euros new, the DB/43 IB sits above the DB/37 IB in Jeanneau’s range, a step justified by her extra length, her larger cockpit and her considerably wider transom platform once the bulwarks are down. She carries a 3.8 metre beam and a shallow 1.1 metre draught, keeping shallow anchorages within reach despite her size. Eight guests can be carried by day and four can stay aboard, with a single crew member enough to run her. Built entirely in house by Jeanneau, from naval architecture through to engineering, the DB/43 IB offers an owner stepping up from the DB/37 a bigger, more capable version of a formula that already worked.
