Flagship of the Sun Odyssey line, this 49-foot sailboat feels remarkably spacious through out. The forward cabin is a true parental suite, featuring a berth of 1.60 by 2 metres, copious storage, a hanging locker, centrally located built-in bookshelves with an integrated television, and private access to a comfortable bathroom with separate shower, sink, and heads. All is bathed in light, well-ventilated, and benefits from sound insulation. The spacious saloon, the fully equipped galley, and options for one or two additional cabins complete the offering, for a truly harmonious life on board.
Well-protected and secure while cruising, the cockpit transforms into a living area for pure relaxation when at anchor, with a sundeck, a wide swim platform, and additional options to make sunny stops more enjoyable, including a cooler and bottle holder. Aboard the Sun Odyssey 490, it’s la dolce vita. But this sailboat is also, or especially, a proud cruiser designed for longer crossings: stable, high-performance, and safe. It is responsive at the helm and easy to handle, despite its size and whether cruising or at port, notably with a bow thruster, located aft.
