Oh Brother is professionally managed, privately owned 2022 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 that has never been chartered. Her current and original owners have used the boat privately however her layout and features make her also a great candidate for one of the many charter companies here in the BVI. This could provide a buyer with income to offset the costs of ownership. The boat shows like new with very light use throughout. Designed by Philippe Briand, this 49-foot yacht combines sleek performance with modern cruising luxury. Below deck, she offers a 4-cabin, 4-head layout with teak finish and bright, airy spaces. Both forward cabins are identical in size, each featuring a large double berth, storage, and private head, while the two aft cabins include double berths with en-suite heads and generous storage. The spacious saloon is complemented by a comfortable bench, large dining table, interior speakers, USB outlets, and abundant storage. The U-shaped galley is fully equipped with dual refrigeration, Corian countertops, double stainless-steel sinks, 3-burner stove, and ample soft-close drawers and cabinets—perfect for extended cruising or liveaboard comfort.

Above deck, the cockpit is designed for both performance and relaxation. Twin helm stations provide excellent visibility underway, while a large folding cockpit table with wooden leaves makes entertaining effortless. Cushioned seating, a full bimini with connecting sprayhood, and a sun lounge forward of the companionway offer comfort at anchor or underway. GRP window “eyebrows” and high-transparency canvas allow light in while providing protection from the elements. Easy access to the fold-down swim platform and telescopic ladder ensures safe and convenient water access.

Equipped for autonomy and comfort, Oh Brother features Epsilon lithium batteries, a Northern Lights 7.5kW generator, and a full 110V air-conditioning system. The Raymarine electronics suite includes Axiom Pro navigation, autopilot, AIS, and multi-function displays both at the helm and in the salon. With just 382 engine hours and 147 generator hours, this yacht has seen exceptionally light use and has been meticulously maintained. Oh Brother represents a rare opportunity to own a nearly new, fully equipped Jeanneau 490, ready for immediate cruising in comfort and style.

Owner’s Comments and Boat History

Oh Brother is owned and operated by 2 brothers who have cared for and owned similar vessels for 30 years in the BVI. We keep all our vessels in top operating condition and typically store on the hard from April to November. Every season the boat is flushed thoroughly with fresh water and stored meticulously through the off season. It’s polished twice a year and all systems kept in good working order. We typically replace every 7 years, however we have decided to try something new in the form of a power cat. We love our sailing but looking for a change. This particular boat has been our absolute favourite as the complete walk around decks are a blessing as we get a little older. No more crawling out of the cockpit and hitting our knees. We hope you enjoy her as much as we do.
