2022 Jeanneau 490 Sun Odyssey, 399 000 USD

Limax is a 2022 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 lying in Portugal. She was registered and launched for the first time in August 2024, has been very lightly used since, and carries roughly 450 hours on her 80 hp Yanmar. She presents close to new.What sets her apart is the specification. Most 490s on the market went into charter fleets and were ordered to a basic level. Limax was built in Preference trim and then outfitted by a private owner. She carries the Raymarine Pack Electronic Ocean: twin Axiom Pro 9 touchscreen plotters inside and out, Quantum 2 Doppler radar, p70s autopilot with wireless remote, AIS transceiver, and Ray63 VHF. She has the Downwind pack with rigging for Code 0 and gennaker, electric primary and coachroof winches, teak side decks and cockpit floor, a retractable bow thruster, a folding propeller, and convertible cockpit packs port and starboard that turn the aft cockpit into a sunbathing deck.On top of the factory build, the seller added a Fischer Panda 10000i generator and a Dometic 40,000 BTU air-conditioning system across all three cabins and the saloon, both fitted in 2024. That combination of generator and full climate control is described as rare on a 490 and is intended to make the boat liveable for extended cruising or warm-water sailing. The result is a yacht that cost around EUR 520,000 to put on the water and has been seldom used since.The 490 is part of Jeanneau's walkaround range, designed by Philippe Briand and Jean-Marc Piaton. The walkaround side decks let you move bow to stern without stepping over anything, every sheet leads back to the twin helms for short-handed sailing, and the forward owner's suite has a centerline shower stall with 6'6" headroom. Three cabins, two heads, a U-shaped galley placed for comfort underway, and a light-filled saloon with a nav station.This boat never saw charter service. She is a private, owner-finished 490 priced below comparable examples because the owner is moving up and needs her sold. For a buyer who wants a nearly new, fully equipped bluewater 490 without the charter history or the wait, this is a strong option.
