To be the flagship of the walk around series, the Sun Odyssey 490 had to set the bar for innova?on, performance, and comfort. Phillippe Briand and Jean- Marc Piaton took on the challenge and designed a boat that not only sets the standard for the Sun Odyssey range, but redefines what is capable in the 50 foot cruising market. In this design, Lombard added even more hull volume to the Sun Odyssey lines, delivering greater sailing performance, more interior space for guests comfort, and more lounge areas on topside

NEW 2025 sails, Generator, A/C

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 490 is a brilliant choice if you're chartering with multiple generations or two couples wanting their own space, four cabins sleep up to 10, so everyone gets a decent cabin rather than bunking in the saloon. At 14.4m, it's spacious without being unwieldy, making it ideal for mixed-ability sailors or those who'd rather relax than wrestle a massive rig.

Clever comfort features This boat is well-thought-out for a week away: air conditioning keeps things pleasant in hot climates, solar panels and an inverter mean you won't drain the batteries running essentials, and the bow thruster takes the stress out of tight anchorages. The snorkeling gear, bimini, and cockpit cushions signal that Anemos knows their clients want to enjoy the water, not just sail it.

Solid value proposition At €3,600 per week plus a €3,500 deposit, you're looking at reasonable pricing for a 2020 vessel this size with a full equipment list. For transatlantic clients flying to Europe, you're getting a modern, well-appointed boat without breaking the bank, and the deposit is returnable if all goes smoothly.

One gentle note The charter base location isn't specified in the listing, so you'll want to confirm proximity to your arrival airport and whether Anemos arranges transfers, that matters when you're flying in from the States or further afield.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Wanderlust is operated by Anemos Yachting.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can Wanderlust be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Wanderlust 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 Wanderlust?

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.
