1994 Jeanneau Sun Way 25 for sale

1994 Jeanneau Sun Way 25 boat for sale

The Sun Way 25 is characterized by Tony Castro’s signature approach to hull volume, which provides significant initial stability without sacrificing too much light-air sensitivity. With a fractional 7/8 rig and a relatively generous sail area-to-displacement ratio for a pocket cruiser, the boat is known for being responsive in light to moderate breezes. Under sail, the boat tracks well due to its balanced waterlines, though like many light-displacement French cruisers of this vintage, it can become tender if over-canvassed in gusts.

The handling is notably light, often described as "dinghy-like" in its tiller responsiveness. A great first sailing yacht for someone.

A highly competitive option for those seeking a compact, easy-to-handle cruiser that offers more amenities than a standard daysailer. It is particularly well-suited for young families or couples moving up from dinghies.

This is a great fin keeled 1994 example - ready for new adventures.  Last lifted out 11/2025. For sale due to relocation abroad.          Lying in the water here in Bangor, Northern Ireland UK

Accommodation

The interior layout is remarkably efficient. Open-plan design that omits a forward bulkhead, creating a sense of volume that belies the size. 

"V-berth" forward flows directly into the main salon, which features two longitudinal settees. A big positive is the aft cabin — a luxury rarely found in a 25 foot yacht. 

Galley is compact but functional, typically featuring a single-burner stove and a small sink, while the starboard side houses a surprisingly spacious (for the size) enclosed head. 

The use of light-colored woods and molded liners maximizes natural light through the coachroof windows.
