What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 490 is a brilliantly practical cruiser that suits families and mixed-ability groups really well. With 4 cabins and 10 berths, you've got flexibility for different group sizes, and the convertible table plus comprehensive equipment kit means comfort isn't compromised at sea.
Well-equipped and modern This 2018 boat punches above its weight with a bow thruster, autopilot, and proper navigation gear, features that make sailing less physically demanding and more enjoyable for everyone. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood are genuine comfort additions for Mediterranean sailing, and snorkeling equipment is already included.
Excellent value proposition At €3,479 per week from a 5-star operator (Athenian Yachts), you're getting a recent, well-maintained boat with strong backup support and minimal deposit required. For a 14.4m cruiser sleeping 10 with this specification, it's competitive pricing in Greece's charter market.
One honest note The listing doesn't specify the exact charter base location, which matters for your flight logistics from the US or northern Europe, you'll want to confirm whether it's Athens, the islands, or elsewhere before booking, as connection times and airport transfers vary significantly.
