Valkyrie is on the market! A 2006 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS in excellent condition!
The 42DS is well known for its extra headroom in the saloon and large windows, which allow ample light throughout the whole boat. There are two double cabins, both with ensuites, and with the master cabin located in the stern of the boat allowing for a large king-size bed and ample room. The saloon table also drops down to form an extra berth or day bed.
The galley is well situated on the starboard side, and opposite it on the port side is a well-positioned chart table.
A big bonus of this boat is that a large chilly bin has been converted into a 12v freezer, which is great for those extended trips. A diesel heater has also been installed, meaning you will never be cold!
In the cockpit you will find ample storage with the port aft locker and the two lockers in the cockpit seating, along with a nice teak cockpit table with folding leaves, making it a great place for alfresco dining and entertaining. The bimini, spray dodger, and stack pack are all in as-new condition, with sides for the bimini so that you can enclose the cockpit in bad weather.
On the transom of the boat is a removable stainless steel arch with 3 x 340w solar panels, and there is an additional 200w of solar panels on the fore deck, which is great for keeping the batteries topped up.
This 42DS has had many extensive upgrades over the last few years, including the Side Power bow thruster, which takes all of the hassle out of berthing or manoeuvring in tight spaces.
Along with a rig check completed in November / December 2025, it has also had a full cut and polish along with antifoul and an engine service of the Yanmar 54hp engine. An electrical systems check was completed in January 2026, giving you the confidence that this vessel has been well looked after and is ready to go!
If you are looking for a well-spec'd two-cabin yacht in the 40 foot range, then Valkyrie is a must see!
