What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for larger groups The Sun Odyssey 490 is built for families or friend groups wanting serious space, five cabins and ten berths mean you won't feel cramped, even on longer charters. At 14.4m, she's substantial enough to handle varied conditions while remaining manageable for experienced sailors.
Well-equipped modern cruiser Avra punches above her weight with solar panels, Wi-Fi, bow thruster, and a swimming platform, practical features that make extended cruising comfortable and charming rather than roughing it. The 2019 build year and full electronics suite suggest she's well-maintained and ready for both day sailing and passage-making.
Strong value proposition At €4,395 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a five-cabin vessel of this calibre. You're getting recent build quality and solid kit without premium-charter pricing.
One honest note We've only one review on file, so the operator track record is unproven at scale, worth asking direct questions about turnover, maintenance frequency, and guest feedback before committing. As an international traveler, you'll want clarity on airport transfers and whether Olympic Yachting supports your specific arrival airport.
