What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for larger groups. The Sun Odyssey 490 sleeps up to 12 across five cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a longer journey. This is a genuinely spacious cruising platform that doesn't feel cramped even with a full complement.
Well-equipped and comfortable. DONAR comes with serious amenities, air conditioning, heating, generator, bow thruster, radar, and autopilot, which means less faffing about and more time enjoying your charter. The teak deck and underwater lights are nice touches that add genuine pleasure to daily life onboard.
Strong operator, fair value. Under the Heavens Sailing has a perfect 5-star rating across their reviews, and the €2,000 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size and age. A 2020 Sun Odyssey 490 in this condition represents solid value for a bareboat or skippered charter.
Check the base location. The charter base isn't listed in your data, so confirm where DONAR is stationed and calculate your total travel time from your nearest international airport, that'll be crucial when flying long-haul to collect her.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
