The Sun Odyssey 44 DS is a remarkably comfortable cruiser with a surprising turn of speed.  Sail short-handed with ease and enjoy the exceptional cruising amenities this boat provides.

Freedom is loaded with factory options as well as some recent updates.  Key features include:

Added Since 2021:

Freedom represents a terrific opportunity to purchase what amounts to a nearly new, updated boat at a used boat price.
