About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Sun Odyssey 490
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 is a modern performance cruiser designed by Philippe Briand with equal regard for sailing efficiency and onboard comfort. Built in 2019, this bareboat offers intuitive handling suitable for experienced sailors and those with relevant skipper credentials, with responsive rigging and manoeuvrable design that rewards confident seamanship. Four spacious double cabins and a bunk cabin accommodate groups of up to ten, with five heads serving the accommodation.
Interior styling balances Briand's signature elegant lines with practical brightness throughout. The open saloon and galley workflow support extended cruising, whilst five cabins with dedicated ventilation and cabin fans ensure rest between passages. Bareboat operation grants complete autonomy over your routing and anchorages, subject to holding appropriate Italian skipper licensing or engaging an experienced skipper to occupy one guest cabin.

The Charter Experience
Sardinia's northeastern waters reveal the protected anchorages and white sand of La Maddelena, a national park with transparent waters and quiet mooring spots ideal for anchoring between sailing days. The island combines genuine Italian hospitality with uncluttered coastline; venture to lesser-known coves or anchor near village restaurants where fresh seafood awaits. Crossing to historic Corsica introduces a distinct French-Italian character. Bonifacio's dramatic clifftop Citadelle overlooks turquoise bays, whilst Santa Giulia offers pristine holding ground and shallow, sheltered waters. Both islands reward exploratory sailing with genuine cultural discovery rather than crowded resort stops.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week based from Portisco explores the granite islands and emerald bays of La Maddelena National Park, with passages to Corsica's Bonifacio, Santa Giulia, and quieter Tyrrhenian anchorages. Plan 3 to 4 sailing days to balance passage-making with leisurely anchoring, allowing time for village exploration and swimming stops.
