This Jeanneau Sun Dance 36 is a well-designed and capable family cruising yacht, offering an excellent combination of sailing performance, spacious accommodation and comfortable cruising. Designed by Daniel Andrieu, the Sun Dance 36 has a practical layout with generous deck space, an ergonomic cockpit and a spacious interior, making her particularly well suited to family cruising and longer passages.
