BROKER’S COMMENTS

Caprice represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of Jeanneau's most sought-after cruising sailboats. Single ownership, the preferred two-stateroom layout, shoal draft, and a comprehensive cruising equipment list all make a compelling case – but what truly sets this yacht apart is her rare Yanmar/ZF 360 Docking ("Dock-N-Go") system, giving her owner effortless, joystick-controlled docking that few 45-footers of any brand can match.

Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully equipped, and ready for her next adventure, Caprice is equally at home cruising the Bahamas, exploring the Chesapeake, or undertaking extended coastal passages. She shows the pride of long-term ownership throughout and is sure to impress upon inspection.

REVIEWS

• Yachting Monthly (“Sun Odyssey 45DS Review”): sea-trialed a 45DS under sail and found her quick to answer the helm and well-mannered through 15–20° of heel, needing only an early reef to stay comfortably powered up as gusts built – a strong showing for a cruising yacht with this much interior volume.
