1992 Jeanneau Voyage 12.5 | Proven Offshore Cruiser Ready for Mediterranean Adventure The Jeanneau Voyage 12.5 (also widely known as the Sun Odyssey 42) is a proven offshore cruiser with an enviable reputation for comfort, seaworthiness and practical long-distance sailing capability.

Currently lying in Samos with EU VAT paid status, she offers spacious accommodation, generous tankage and an inventory tailored for comfortable passagemaking, all wrapped in a timeless aft cockpit cruising design. A 2023 structural survey further reinforces confidence in her overall condition and ongoing care. Constructed with a white GRP hull, integrated non-slip decks and a robust iron fin keel with skeg-hung rudder, the Voyage 12.5 combines solid offshore performance with forgiving handling characteristics. Powered by her original but well-maintained 50hp Yanmar 4JH2E diesel engine with shaft drive and bowthruster assistance, she remains practical and manageable for short-handed cruising. Her sail plan features a deck-stepped aluminium mast with in-mast furling mainsail and roller furling genoa, both Hood Dacron sails from 2015 and lightly used. The spacious aft cockpit benefits from a full cockpit enclosure, sprayhood, bimini and sun awning, creating an exceptionally comfortable outdoor living space. Below decks, the warm teak interior accommodates up to eight across three double cabins and the convertible saloon, with twin aft cabins, a forward en-suite master cabin and two heads compartments making her highly capable for family cruising or guests aboard. Her extensive inventory includes Raymarine navigation electronics, AIS, autopilot, solar charging, inverter, comprehensive anchoring equipment and a fully equipped galley, all contributing to her genuine turnkey cruising appeal. Additional highlights include a Zodiac Compact RIB tender with Suzuki outboard, full mosquito screening throughout, generous freshwater capacity and a practical owner-maintained systems approach supported by an onboard tool and manual collection. Comfortable, capable and exceptionally well set up for extended cruising life afloat, this Jeanneau Voyage 12.5 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a respected offshore cruiser already positioned in the heart of the Eastern Mediterranean.

It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear. Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
