Sailboat for 11 guests in Elephant Butte Estates, United States · Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 · (2019)

About this boat

Spaciousness, modernity and good seaworthiness describe our Sun Odissey 490. Perfect for sailors who are also looking for modernity. If I had to highlight the strengths of the Little Mia I would say that it has a manoeuvrability that impresses, it has two rudder blades which makes it much more reactive in manoeuvres and it is equipped with a very powerful bow thruster which will get you out of any trouble manoeuvring. Another strong point is the space on board and the side passageways to get out of the cockpit, this makes it very comfortable to move around the deck. The cabins are spacious and well ventilated. The forward cabins each have their own bathroom and the galley is very complete and comfortable to use. The boat also has a forward skipper's cabin with private bathroom, which can be used as a storage room in case it is not occupied by any of the crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. You're only responsible for damage it doesn't cover, and that's capped at the security deposit.

How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~80 HP engine burn roughly 6.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 134 L ≈ €194 at €1.45/L — scale it to your own plans.

Do I need a sailing licence in United States?

Requirements vary by state and operator; no national sailing licence exists, so charter companies rely on a detailed sailing résumé (some states require a boater education card).

When is the best time to sail in United States?

Varies widely by region; the Florida Keys and Caribbean coast run year-round, while New England and the Pacific Northwest peak June–September.
