Light and lean, she is built to reward good trim rather than raw power.
At 2.9 tonnes displacement on a 10.5 metre length overall, the Sun Fast 30 carries little more than what she needs, and it shows in how readily she picks up her pace. A 2 metre draught keeps the keel efficient and the boat close winded, while the composite build keeps weight out of the ends of the boat, where it slows a hull down fastest. Under her 15hp Yanmar auxiliary she cruises at a steady 7 knots and reaches 9 at full throttle, useful for the short hops between anchorages when the wind will not cooperate, with 50 litres of fuel good for around 150 nautical miles.
Every control line comes back to the cockpit, and that is the whole point of her.
Daniel Andrieu’s deck layout keeps sail handling close at hand, so reefing, trimming and tacking can all be managed without leaving the helm. It is a boat built to be sailed by a couple or, when needed, by one person alone, without the winch grinding and line chasing that larger yachts demand. That simplicity carries through the whole design. Nothing on deck is there to impress, only to work. For an owner who wants to feel the boat rather than manage a crew, that directness is the entire appeal.
Two cabins, four berths, and nothing else competing for space.
The interior keeps to what a weekend or a short offshore passage actually needs: two cabins sleeping four, a functional saloon and enough stowage for a few days away rather than a season aboard. The Jeanneau design team have kept finishes modern and light rather than heavy or traditional, in keeping with a hull built for speed rather than volume. It suits an owner who sees the cabin as somewhere to sleep between sails, not a space to entertain in, and day guest capacity for eight means she still works well for an afternoon out with friends even if she is not built to host them overnight.
Nothing on board is heavier than it needs to be.
Composite construction keeps the hull light without sacrificing stiffness, a discipline that matters more on a boat this size than almost any other factor in how she performs. The auxiliary engine, a 15hp Yanmar as standard, is sized to move her efficiently rather than to add unnecessary weight and complexity, keeping running costs and maintenance low. There is no second or third engine option here, deliberately. It is a straightforward specification, built by people who understand that on a boat like this, every kilogram saved is speed earned back, and every extra system is another thing to maintain.
An honest, capable yacht at a fraction of the cost of her fleet mates.
The Jeanneau Sun Fast 30 measures 10.5 metres length overall on a 3.4 metre beam, with a 2 metre draught and a displacement of 2.9 tonnes. She is fitted as standard with a 15hp Yanmar auxiliary, carrying 50 litres of fuel for a range of around 150 nautical miles under power. Naval architecture comes from Daniel Andrieu, and she sleeps four across two cabins, with day capacity for eight guests and no crew required. Priced from 120,000 euros, she gives an owner genuine sailing performance and low running costs, a useful counterpoint to the larger yachts in the collection for anyone who wants to spend more time actually sailing.
