1 833 UCYACHT (829 2248)
Odyssey was built in 1981 on the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island. The vessel was designed by Bill Garden and looks like a smaller sister of the Fast Passage 39.
Odyssey Yachts built a number of these yachts, getting the reputation for sturdy build, and good quality craftmanship.
Circumnavigation does not seem a problem for these boats. Nor does island hopping.
This is a good looking 33 footer with lots of charm and ability.

Odyssey was built in 1981 on the Saanich Peninsula. The vessel was designed by Bill Garden and looks like a smaller sister of the Fast Passage 39.
She has a high flaring bow and canoe stern, she is very sea kindly and has some of the best offshore specifications.
Although the dry weight is 13,500 Lbs., Odyssey came in at 18,000 lbs. in the lift.
The rudder shoe was reinforced and an emergency tiller made in 2008
The interior was virtually rebuilt, the old carpet was removed from the hull and teak plywood installed with insulation between the hull and plywood (bubble stuff)
New upholstery on all interior settees in spring of 2021
The quarter berth houses a 6 gln. hot water tank, an Engel fridge/ freezer and a built- in tool box (very handy)
The two solar panels (85W. each) easily keep up with the daily electrical needs
A new engine was installed in 1999, we put about 1,900 hours on the engine. The engine has been meticulously maintained. A full maintenance log is available for all work done on the vessel.
The Saturna 33' is a solid bluewater vessel. A sistership has been around the world and another two that were sailed extensively off shore.
Odyssey is a wonderful vessel. She is dry in the off season because of the foam cored hull and insulation. The diesel heater keeps everything cozy and warm.
Her sailing qualities are excellent. She is very comfortable in a seaway, does not slam and her motion is kind.
Odyssey would be a great choice for those who either want to venture out in the open ocean or want a comfortable all season coastal cruiser
