Charter Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 “Calypso Express” in the British Virgin Islands
Experience modern performance cruising at its best aboard Calypso Express, our 2024 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380, available for bareboat charter in the spectacular British Virgin Islands. This innovative and stylish yacht combines intuitive handling with upscale comfort, making her perfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking an easy and exhilarating sailing vacation.
With twin helms, walk-around decks, and a spacious cockpit with drop-down swim platform, Calypso Express is built for confident cruising and relaxed island living.
Exterior: Performance Meets Innovation
Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a confident bareboater, Calypso Express delivers superb handling and safety at sea. Her furling mainsail and jib allow you to set sail in under a minute, and her powerful hull and low gooseneck rig maximize sailing performance while maintaining excellent stability.
Her twin helms offer great visibility and comfort under sail, her generous drop-down swim platform adds space and offers easy water access, and her walk-around side decks allow for safe and easy movement – no more climbing over coamings!
She has a full suite of Garmin electronics, including autopilot and cockpit chart plotter, as well as a coal BBQ and large cockpit table – perfect for alfresco meals!
Whether in light winds or stiff breezes, this yacht points well, accelerates quickly, and is a genuine pleasure to sail. She also has an optional furling spinnaker upgrade for thrilling downwind performance! Enquire with us.
Interior: Contemporary Comfort for Island Cruising
Step below deck and you’ll find a bright, modern, and highly functional interior with 6ft 3in of headroom in the saloon for open-plan living, finished with clean lines, premium materials, energy-efficient LED lighting and excellent ventilation throughout. Her layout is designed for comfort, privacy, and efficient living at sea.
Interior features include three spacious double cabins, including a roomy angled forward berth as well as two heads with separate showers – no more wet heads, thanks to a clear Perspex divider!
Her saloon has a dedicated aft-facing navigation station using the saloon settee as a seat as well as an L-shaped galley with dual-burner stove, oven, top-loading fridge, and centerline sink equipped with a kettle, French press, toaster, and smart storage solutions
With her wide beam carried well aft and clever space-saving design, Calypso Express offers the interior volume of a much larger yacht without sacrificing performance.

Andrew Condon, 13-21 May '25Thanks for all your great briefing information. 10 out of 10 for the yacht briefing video. Best yacht charter briefing I have had. Great job!
Jonathan Horvath, Dave Polakoff & Mathieu Gombault, 3-10 February '24Dear Horizon Friends,
Thank you for another successful and delightful Horizon Yacht charter and Horizon ASA school experience. From start to finish, our interaction with you was professional, friendly, courteous, efficient, and fun. We are so glad we returned to Horizon for 2024 and look forward to continuing to do so.
Thank you, too, for the hand-holding with our first broker experience for “Calypso Express.” We now have that process down and hope to bring more broker business to you.
Please extend our appreciation and gratitude to ALL staff, on the water and behind the desks, who contributed to our wonderful experience.
If only we would visit you more often (SMILE!).
If anyone is passing through New York City during the 2024 sailing season, please let us know, so we can hope to get you on the water and return the hospitality.
Best,
Jonathan, Dave & Mathieu

Find Your Rate Check out our special offers
Did you know Horizon’s charters start and finish at noon? This means we can get you out sailing your first afternoon after your briefings – remember to watch your video briefings to speed up your check out! At the end of your trip, you sail back to Nanny Cay to refuel and debrief before your noon departure. This gives you a full 6 nights/7 days chartering around our beautiful islands, unlike some companies that start at 5pm, meaning you will have to sleepaboard* at the docks, and then finish at 10am, again meaning you will probably have to stay overnight on the docks the night before you leave to fly home.
*If available, a sleep aboard can be added the night before your charter start for a small supplement, boarding your yacht after 5pm.
Current Rates
Weekly rates (full 7 days / 6 nights) are listed above as daily rates. Charters start and finish at noon. Our minimum charter duration requirement is 5 nights.
BVI Charter Rates are subject to change without notice.
