If earlier Sun Odyssey models didn’t express the remarkable talent from the Jeanneau team, the Sun Odyssey 490 definitely does. Offering a fresh vision of life on board, this model honors many decades of Jeanneau heritage while incorporating innovation into its design. Named “Best of the Best” by Robb Report, this 49-foot cruiser masterfully combines all the things the Jeanneau brand is known for, like contemporary styling, exceptional comfort, and intuitive layouts. It’s a yacht built not just to sail but to live aboard for an extended time with ease and pleasure.

Revolutionary Deck Design for Effortless Movement

One of the standout features of the Sun Odyssey 490 is its revolutionary deck layout, designed for natural movement and maximum safety. It is the only yacht in its category to offer inclined side decks that slope gently to meet the cockpit floor, eliminating the need to step over coamings.

The result is seamless transitions and harmony around the boat, enhancing safety for sailors of all ages. Whether under sail or at anchor, life aboard has never been so simple or so enjoyable.

Crafted for Harmony, Space, and Light

Designed by renowned naval architect Philippe Briand and interior designer Jean-Marc Piaton, the Sun Odyssey 490 reflects the sweet spot where innovation and tradition meet. Every detail, from its streamlined hull to its welcoming interior, is crafted to optimize space, light, and comfort.

The Sun Odyssey 490 interior is modern, with an emphasis on open, flowing spaces that create a true sense of harmony and relaxation at sea.
