To be the flagship of the walk around series, the Sun Odyssey 490 had to set the bar for innovation, performance, and comfort. Phillippe Briand and Jean-Marc Piaton took on the challenge and designed a boat that not only sets the standard for the Sun Odyssey range, but redefines what is capable in the 50 foot cruising market. In this design, Lombard added even more hull volume to the Sun Odyssey lines, delivering greater sailing performance, more interior space for guests comfort, and more lounge areas on topside.
As with every Sun Odyssey, the cockpit ergonomics are second to none. Every sheet is cleverly led to the helm station, where the boat can be easily single or double handed. The massive cockpit lounge is framed by the iconic walk around decks, which make movement around the boat easier than ever before. However, the game changer comes when the convertible coamings, the unfolding seat backs, are set up as beds. The entire aft eight feet of the boat transform into a cushioned sun bathing deck.
The open concept interior is bathed in light, as the main salon features many rows of windows and hatches. The central U-shaped galley is optimally placed for comfort while under way, as well as serving meals in the salon. In the 490, the nav station is particularly emphasized, as there is an aft facing bench added to it, elevating this feature into a coffee nook or home office.
However, it’s the forward stateroom where this boat really sets itself apart. The square queen bed has plenty of space to walk around on all sides, and the large central armoire is perfect for mounting a television for viewing in bed. The gorgeous shower stall is placed on centerline, allowing for 6’6” headroom; a luxury usually only found on much larger boats.
RIVIERA PLAISANCE PRESENTS
JEANNEAU SUN ODYSSEY 490 PERFORMANCE – OWNER'S VERSION
Some yachts are designed for travelling. Others are designed for living aboard.
This Sun Odyssey 490 Performance successfully combines both worlds, offering true sailing pleasure together with the comfort and practicality of a genuine owner's yacht.
Presented in the highly sought-after two-cabin owner's layout, she offers exceptional living space rarely found on a yacht of this size. The spacious owner's cabin, large shower room, dedicated workshop and abundant storage make her particularly well suited for extended cruising and life on board.
Designed by Philippe Briand, the hull delivers the performance, balance and ease of handling for which the Sun Odyssey range has become renowned worldwide. The Performance version further enhances the sailing experience, making this yacht equally rewarding under sail as she is comfortable at anchor.
Lightly used since new, with only 88 engine hours, this first-owner yacht is presented in outstanding condition. Her overall presentation reflects careful ownership and minimal use throughout her life.
Life on board is all about comfort and enjoyment. The generous cockpit, multiple relaxation areas and spacious deck layout provide the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends while enjoying the Mediterranean lifestyle.
A significant additional advantage is the possibility of taking over the berth usage rights in Antibes, one of the most desirable yachting destinations on the French Riviera. Such an opportunity is becoming increasingly rare.
Whether your plans include weekend escapes, summer cruising along the coast or longer offshore adventures, this Sun Odyssey 490 Performance represents a unique opportunity to acquire a yacht configured exactly as an experienced owner would choose for himself.
A genuine owner's yacht. Rare, elegant, lightly used and ready to sail.
This Sun Odyssey 490 Performance is far more than a standard production yacht. Configured from new by an experienced owner, she combines outstanding sailing performance, offshore capability, exceptional autonomy and premium onboard comfort.
Sold new by Riviera Plaisance and continuously maintained since delivery, this first-owner yacht has never been chartered and benefits from a complete maintenance history. With only 88 engine hours, she represents a rare opportunity on today's market.
