Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 Oracle

JEANNEAU SUN ODYSSEY 490 "ORACLE" (2022)

Walk Around Series, 5-cabin layout

The Sun Odyssey 490 Walk Around is one of Jeanneau's most successful designs of recent years - a 14.8-metre cruising yacht that balances generous volume with a practical, uncluttered deck layout. The Walk Around configuration provides safe, unobstructed passage from cockpit to foredeck on both sides of the coachroof, a feature that distinguishes this variant from the standard model and makes her well suited to short-handed sailing.

Below, the five-cabin arrangement is notably spacious for a yacht of this length, and the saloon is both comfortable and well-lit. Oracle is a 2022 build, specified to the full Premiere and Electronics Cruising packages, and was delivered new to Marmaris before taking up charter duties in the eastern Mediterranean. She carries 880 engine hours on her Yanmar 80hp sail drive, and all routine maintenance and winter servicing have been completed to schedule. The vessel is in good general condition throughout.

The 490 Walk Around is a considered design: twin helm stations, a walk-around deck plan, and a wide, practical cockpit make her workable with a small crew. The five-cabin, three-heads layout with a crew cabin forward will suit a family or a small charter party without compromise. Alpi teak joinery sets a clean, modern tone below.

This Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 benefits from the update to in-mast furling mainsail in place of the standard system, simplifying solo or short-handed handling. A Bimini and sprayhood in taupe are fitted, with solar panels mounted on the Bimini providing passive charging. The electric aft platform, tunnel bow thruster, and electric winch on the coachroof are all present and correct.

The navigation suite is the full Raymarine Cruising 2022 package. A heater is fitted below, which extends the practical sailing season considerably in these waters. An Eastmarine dinghy with a 2.5hp Suzuki outboard completes the inventory.

Broker's Summary

Oracle represents sound value in the current market. She is a late-build example of a well-regarded model, specified above the standard line, and maintained on a commercial schedule that disciplines owners to keep paperwork and servicing current. At 880 hours she has been worked, but not hard, and the major systems are in serviceable order. For a buyer seeking a large, capable blue-water cruiser with a full electronics suite, bow thruster, in-mast furling, and serious passage-making capacity, ready to use from the moment she changes hands, the asking price is realistic.
