Sun Odyssey 490

Life-Giving Freedom

The Sun Odyssey 490 takes full advantage of the line’s strengths: smooth handling, comfortable cruising, and smart layouts… in short, it combines seafaring qualities with a high quality of life on board.

Spacious interiors

As the flagship of the Sun Odyssey line, this 49-foot sailboat feels remarkably spacious throughout. The bow cabin is a true master suite: a sleeping area measuring 1.60 × 2 meters, plenty of storage space, a wardrobe, bookshelves in the center with an integrated TV, and private access to a comfortable bathroom with a separate shower, sink, and toilet. Everything is bright, well-ventilated, and soundproofed. A spacious salon, a fully equipped kitchen, and the option to add one or two additional cabins all contribute to a well-rounded, harmonious life on board.

Pure Relaxation and Performance

The well-protected and safe cockpit on a cruise transforms into a living space at anchor, perfect for pure relaxation: a sunbathing area, a wide swim platform, and additional amenities for sunny stops, including a cooler and a bottle holder. Life aboard the Sun Odyssey 490 is la dolce vita. However, this sailboat is first and foremost a superb cruiser for longer voyages: stable, high-performing, and safe. It responds well at the helm and, despite its size, is easy to maneuver both at sea and in port—thanks in particular to its stern-mounted bow thruster.
