The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 is the flagship of the acclaimed walk‑around series, setting the bar for innovation, performance, and comfort in the 50‑foot cruising market. Designed by Phillippe Briand and Jean‑Marc Piaton, with hull refinements by Lombard, this yacht delivers greater sailing performance, expanded interior volume, and generous lounge areas topside. Every detail has been engineered for ease of use and enjoyment, from the cleverly led sheets at the helm for effortless single or double‑handed sailing, to the massive cockpit lounge framed by walk‑around decks. A true game‑changer, the convertible coamings unfold into cushioned sunbeds, transforming the aft eight feet into a private sunbathing retreat.
Inside, the open‑concept salon is bathed in natural light from multiple windows and hatches. The central U‑shaped galley is perfectly positioned for comfort underway and social dining, while the nav station doubles as a coffee nook or home office thanks to its aft‑facing bench. The forward stateroom sets this yacht apart, featuring a square queen bed with walk‑around access, a central armoire, and a luxurious shower stall with 6’6” headroom — amenities rarely found on yachts of this size.
This Sun Odyssey 490 offers six cabins, three bathrooms, and accommodation for up to 12 guests. She is powered by a Yanmar 80 HP sail drive with twin rudders and bow thruster, and equipped with Raymarine navigation electronics, generator, air conditioning, WiFi, and a full suite of safety gear. Entertainment is provided by Fusion/BOSE audio systems, indoor and outdoor speakers, and underwater lights, while the teak deck, hydraulic swim platform, and sundeck cushions create the perfect setting for relaxation.
Registered under the Croatian flag and offered with EU VAT not paid, this Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern, well‑equipped cruiser that redefines what is possible in her class.
