Following a successful Sydney premiere at the 2026 Sail Expo, two exciting new sailing models are ready to capture the imagination of Australian sailors. Performance Boating Sales invites you to discover the new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 and Excess 13, with exclusive viewings available by appointment.
For sailors looking towards their next adventure, there has never been a better time to explore what’s new in modern yacht design. The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 and Excess 13 bring two distinctive approaches to life under sail, united by a focus on performance, comfort and the freedom to explore.
Whether your vision is effortless coastal cruising aboard a refined monohull or adventurous passagemaking aboard a contemporary catamaran, these two new models deserve a closer look.
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455: A New Standard in Modern Cruising
The new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 represents the next evolution of Jeanneau’s acclaimed Sun Odyssey range, bringing together elegant styling, responsive sailing performance and thoughtful onboard functionality.
Designed for sailors who want to enjoy the journey as much as the destination, the Sun Odyssey 455 features a new-generation hull, twin helm stations and walkaround side decks to support confident handling and practical movement on deck.
The spacious cockpit is designed for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends. Below deck, contemporary styling, generous glazing and large hull windows create a bright, inviting interior, while the well-appointed saloon and galley make extended time aboard a pleasure.
Practical details are equally considered, with intelligent storage, a versatile chart table and layout options designed to suit different cruising ambitions.
From relaxed weekends on the coast to longer passages and extended stays aboard, the Sun Odyssey 455 offers a compelling balance of sailing enjoyment and everyday comfort.

For sailors drawn to the space and versatility of a multihull, the new Excess 13 offers an exciting take on contemporary cruising catamaran design.
Excess 13: Performance, Freedom and a New Approach to Catamaran Cruising
With dynamic exterior lines, a performance-focused hull design and an emphasis on sailing sensations, the Excess 13 is built for those who want to feel connected to the water while enjoying the benefits of a spacious cruising platform.
Its design brings together responsive sailing characteristics and generous accommodation. Natural light fills the saloon, while the galley opens towards the cockpit to create a welcoming connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The owner’s accommodation includes a spacious bedroom, a large forward bathroom and a dressing room, while the guest hull provides additional cabins and private bathrooms. Thoughtful storage and carefully considered layouts help maximise the available space without losing sight of sailing performance.
The Excess 13 has also earned significant international recognition, including the 2026 European Yacht of the Year award in the Family Cruiser category, adding to an impressive collection of industry accolades.
For sailors planning extended cruising, ocean passages or a more adventurous lifestyle afloat, the Excess 13 presents an exciting combination of freedom, comfort and dynamic performance.
Two Distinctive Yachts. One Exciting Opportunity.
While the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 and Excess 13 offer different sailing experiences, both reflect the evolution of modern yacht design: performance that inspires confidence, interiors designed around life aboard and layouts that make time on the water more rewarding.
Seeing these yachts in person is the ideal way to appreciate their proportions, design details and onboard spaces, and to consider which model best suits your sailing plans.
