2026 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490

The 2026 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 is a 49-foot fiberglass cruising yacht built around thoughtful helm ergonomics and accessible sailing. Every control sheet routes to the helm station, enabling single or double-handed operation. The hull combines a hard chine for stability and interior volume with a long waterline for balanced performance under sail and power, finished with moderate freeboard for a clean profile. Eight hull ports provide natural light below.

The boat sleeps three cabins across two heads. The cockpit layout prioritizes comfort and control, with the walkthrough design characteristic of this series. A single 80-horsepower Yammer diesel provides auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of 9.1 knots.

The Sun Odyssey 490 offers significant customization. Available options include multiple cabin configurations, in-mast furling, electric primary and coach roof winches, an ocean pack electronics suite, bow and stern thrusters, and davits for tender stowage.
