The Jeanneau SUN ODYSSEY 490 we present is genuinely a yacht for celebration, combining sophistication with functionality. Designed with 5 plus 1 cabins, it’s ideal for sailing with large gatherings of friends or extended family members. It accommodates up to 12 guests, with 11 enjoying private sleeping spaces. LIVING AREA The SO 490's living area offers exceptional comfort, even with its sizable table, L-shaped sofa, and cozy seating. The kitchen, designed in a C-shape, is practical and equipped with a two-burner hob and oven, a double sink, a freezer, and a double-drawer refrigerator. On the starboard side of the living space, there is a spacious folding dining table that can be converted into a double bed. Beneath the cushions, large lockers provide ample storage for provisions and gear. Natural light and ventilation in the living room are ensured by elongated windows, portholes, and two central hatches. There are four roomy double cabins, plus a fifth interior cabin featuring bunk beds. The three bathrooms come with electric toilets and showers. Fans serve all cabins and the lounge area. The sixth cabin, located at the bow and accessible via a deck porthole, is completely self-contained, offering a single bed, electric toilet, sink, and shower. OUTDOOR AREA The revamped "walk-around" side deck gently inclines downward toward the wheelhouse on both sides, removing the necessity to climb steps or backrests when transitioning from the cockpit to the side deck—you just walk around the rudder. Moreover, the rudder includes comfortable forward-facing seating, offering an ideal position for steering. The cockpit table folds away to free up space around the seating area, allowing for easy and comfortable movement regardless of the weather. Twin wheels, a sizable divided backstay, and an extra-large bathing platform facilitate effortless boarding and unrestricted access to the roller shutter. The engine start panel is smoothly integrated into the cockpit table mold, accompanied by electronic instruments, a compass, and controls for cockpit lighting. Generously sized winches let you manage every maneuver directly from the cockpit, making navigation safe, straightforward, and stress-free.

Booking
- How do I book a yacht?
- Pick your dates and the crew option on the yacht's page, check the price breakdown, leave your details and pay. We send a confirmation request to the charter company, and once it answers, the booking is confirmed. The confirmation and the documents arrive by email.
- Is availability shown in real time?
- Availability is refreshed every hour from the charter companies' systems, and the catalogue once a day. The final availability and price are re-checked with the operator at the moment of booking, so what you see on the payment page has already been verified with them.
- When is a booking considered confirmed?
- Once the charter company has confirmed it in its own system. Until then the booking is being processed. If the operator declines, we cancel the booking and refund the money in full.
- Can a yacht be put on option?
- Yes, if the operator allows it: the yacht is held without payment for a limited time that the charter company itself sets. If the option runs out unpaid, the yacht is released and the booking goes back to the quote stage.
Payment
- Which payment methods are available?
- Online we accept card payment through Stripe. Some charges are collected by the charter base in person at check-in: the tourist tax, the refundable security deposit, fuel. Those are paid directly at the base.
- Do I have to pay 100% up front?
- If the charter starts more than two months from now, a 50% prepayment is usually enough, with the rest due before the start. If it starts within two months, the full amount is due at once. The exact terms for a particular yacht are shown in the price breakdown before you pay.
- Can I pay by card?
- Yes. The payment happens in Stripe's form, and we neither receive nor store your card number.
- Is paying through Stripe safe?
- Card details are entered in Stripe's secure form and never reach our servers. All we keep is the payment identifier, which we use to check its status.
Prices
- What is included in the rental price?
- The rental price is the yacht itself for the chosen period, with its standard equipment. The operator's obligatory charges and the optional extras are listed separately in the price breakdown, so the final total is visible before you pay.
- What is a Charter Pack?
- It is the charter base's standard package. It usually covers a gas cylinder, full fresh-water tanks, electricity at the base and a berth in the home marina for the whole charter. Operators put it together and name it differently, so check its contents and price in the extras list of the particular yacht.
- What extra costs can come up?
- Most often the final cleaning, the tourist tax, fuel, berths in marinas other than the home one, a skipper or a hostess, water toys. We show the obligatory charges in the price breakdown; the rest depends on your route.
- Is fuel included?
- No. Fuel is paid separately, usually by actual consumption when the yacht is returned to the base.
Licences
- Do I need a skipper's licence?
- For a bareboat yacht you need a licence recognised in the country of the charter, and in most destinations a radio certificate as well. If you take the yacht with a skipper or with a crew, no licence is needed.
- Can I charter a yacht with a skipper?
- Yes, if the operator offers that option. The crew choice is on the yacht's page, and the skipper's cost is added to the price breakdown.
Travel
- What should I bring with me?
- Identity documents for everyone on board, and the skipper's licence if you are sailing bareboat. A soft bag rather than a suitcase, because there is nowhere to stow hard cases. Shoes with light, non-slip soles, sun protection, personal medication. Bed linen and towels are usually provided by the base.
- What are the check-in / check-out times?
- Check-in and check-out times are set by the charter base and are stated on each yacht's page. Most often check-in is in the afternoon and check-out in the morning.
- Can the route be changed?
- Yes, you choose the route yourself within the permitted sailing area. Individual restrictions do exist, for example crossing into another country or sailing out to remote islands, and those are agreed with the base in advance.
- What should I do in bad weather?
- Go by the forecast and by the base's advice. In dangerous conditions the base can restrict going out to sea. It is a question of safety, and deciding to sit the weather out in the marina is a normal part of sailing.
Cancellation
- What are the cancellation terms?
- Cancellation terms are set by the charter company and differ between operators and rates. The terms for the yacht you chose are shown in the price breakdown before you pay.
- Can a booking be rescheduled?
- Rescheduling depends on the charter company and on whether other dates are free. Write to us and we will put the request to the operator.
