Alboran Vino Blanco (Sun Odyssey 490)

Ideal for families This 2023 Sun Odyssey 490 is a solid choice for a group of four to six sailors wanting comfort without compromise. The four-cabin layout sleeps up to 10, so families or friends get plenty of space, and the modern build means you're not dealing with tired systems.

Well-equipped modern sailer You get the essentials that make a week easy: autopilot (listed twice, which suggests the operator really values it), solar panels for extended cruising, and useful touches like a sprayhood and bimini for weather protection. The chart plotter in the cockpit is handy for navigation without constantly heading below.

Decent value proposition At around €4,941 per week, this feels fairly priced for a new-build 13.4-metre with four cabins in what appears to be a Mediterranean base. The €2,500 deposit is standard. You're paying for a contemporary yacht that won't nickel-and-dime you with repairs mid-charter.

One honest note The operator has only two reviews and a 4/5 rating, not a red flag, but not a track record either. Before booking, ask for references or check recent guest feedback directly. Given you're likely flying long-haul to reach this base, you'll want confidence in the handover and support team from day one.
