2019 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 | Aqua

No‑expense‑spared and ready to sail away, this stunning Sun Odyssey 490 is widely regarded by sailors as the pinnacle of the line. The yacht presents a refined two‑cabin, two‑head layout with a dedicated storage and workshop area, complemented by the brand’s hallmark walk‑around helm arrangement that keeps movement effortless and safe. It is, quite simply, a must‑see.

Flagship of the walk‑around series, the Sun Odyssey 490 set a new benchmark for innovation, performance, and comfort. Phillippe Briand and Jean‑Marc Piaton crafted a design that redefined the 50‑foot cruising segment, while Lombard increased hull volume to unlock livelier sailing, more generous interior comfort, and expanded lounge areas topside. True to the Sun Odyssey DNA, cockpit ergonomics are exemplary: every sheet is led cleanly to the helm so the boat is easily handled single‑handed or by a couple, and the expansive cockpit lounge is framed by iconic walk‑around decks for seamless circulation. The game‑changer arrives with the convertible coamings whose unfolding seat backs form beds, transforming the aft eight feet into a fully cushioned sunbathing terrace. Inside, an open‑concept salon is bathed in light from multiple rows of windows and hatches; the central U‑shaped galley is ideally placed for secure meal prep underway and effortless service at anchor. On the 490, the nav station is elevated with an aft‑facing bench that turns it into a charming coffee nook or an at‑sea home office. Forward, the stateroom truly distinguishes the model with a square queen bed offering full walk‑around access, a large central armoire perfect for mounting a television for viewing in bed, and a beautiful centerline shower stall providing 6'6'' of headroom—an indulgence usually reserved for much larger yachts.

Meticulously optioned and continually improved, AQUA features nine remote‑control power shades in the salon, a built‑in dishwasher, a microwave oven, and leather interior seating, while ambient lighting enhances both the interior and cockpit. The upgraded Yanmar 80 hp engine pairs with a Yanmar saildrive and three‑blade folding prop, supported by a bow thruster and an electric windlass for confident close‑quarters handling; sailhandling is effortless with three Harken electric winches. Helm electronics are comprehensive: a Raymarine Axiom Pro 9 at the starboard helm, a Raymarine Axiom 9 at the port helm, the Raymarine “Ocean” instrument package, Raymarine Quantum 2 radar, Raymarine AIS, and a Raymarine EV1 autopilot. Power and systems are robust, including six 1800 Ah lithium (LiFePO4) house batteries as an upgrade, four 200 Ah lithium (LiFePO4) bow thruster batteries, an AGM 200 Ah starter battery from May 2024, and DC/AC conversion via one 2,000‑watt and one 3,000‑watt inverter. Comfort is ensured by three Dometic air‑conditioning units and a master cabin fan, entertainment flows through a Fusion Bluetooth stereo with a helm remote and two smart TVs, and lifestyle touches include an electric swim platform with remote control, two Jabsco electric flush toilets, a ten‑foot Highfield dinghy with an EPropulsion 1.0 electric outboard, a smart dehumidifier, and Starlink internet.
