Building and history

Sun Fizz polyester boat built in 1981 by the Jeanneau shipyard (Les Herbiers).
The Sun Fizz is an elegant design by architect Philippe Briand, of robust traditional construction, with fairly voluminous hull shapes allowing the load required for a voyage.
The current owner bought her in 2015 in Chile and has since sailed the coasts of Latin America - Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica - before arriving in French Polynesia at the beginning of June 2025. He is selling her due to health problems and is offering her at this price for a quick sale.
