Ideal for families This 2020 Sun Odyssey 490 suits groups or families wanting comfortable cruising without sacrificing sailing performance, four cabins sleep up to 10, so you've got real flexibility for multigenerational trips or two couples sharing costs. The boat punches above its weight for a mid-size cruiser.

Smart modern kit You're getting genuine cruiser comforts here: bow thruster and autopilot make handling easy, solar panels reduce fuel burn, and the teak cockpit feels premium. Wi-Fi and internet onboard matter if anyone needs to stay loosely connected during their holiday.

Solid value proposition At €3,484 per week through Greek Sailing Holidays, this is fair pricing for a 2020 Jeanneau with four cabins and that spec list, especially since you're avoiding a newer, pricier model without meaningfully better features. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in your details, so confirm where you'll actually depart from and how long the transfer is from your nearest major airport (likely Athens if it's a Greek operator). That matters when coordinating international flights and timing your charter start.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Jeanneau SO 490 is operated by Greek Sailing Holidays.

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Main Port sits at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Ionian Islands to the west and the protected waters of the gulf itself to the east. Week 1 typically involves sailing north toward Lefkada and Meganisi or south along the mainland coast to Zakynthos, with reliable northwesterly winds (Maestro) providing consistent sailing conditions. The marina offers good provisioning and is close enough to Athens airport for convenient transfers, though expect some swell in the outer Ionian during summer and plan accordingly for the narrow entrance channel.

Can Jeanneau SO 490 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Jeanneau SO 490 bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Jeanneau SO 490?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
