Description

Limax is a 2022 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 lying in Portugal, and she is one of the most thoroughly outfitted examples of this model you will find anywhere. She was registered and launched for the first time in August 2024, has been very lightly used since, and carries roughly 450 hours on her 80hp Yanmar. She presents as close to new.What sets her apart is the specification. Most 490s on the market went straight into charter fleets and were ordered to a basic level. Limax was built in Preference trim and then outfitted by a private owner who spared nothing. She carries the full Raymarine Pack Electronic Ocean: twin Axiom Pro 9 touchscreen plotters inside and out, Quantum 2 Doppler radar, p70s autopilot with wireless remote, AIS transceiver, and Ray63 VHF. She has the Downwind pack with rigging for Code 0 and gennaker, electric primary and coachroof winches, teak side decks and cockpit floor, retractable bow thruster, folding propeller, and the convertible cockpit packs port and starboard that turn the aft cockpit into a full sunbathing deck.On top of the factory build, the seller added a Fischer Panda 10000i generator and a Dometic 40,000 BTU air conditioning system across all three cabins and the saloon, both fitted in 2024. That combination of generator and full climate control is rare on a 490 and exactly what makes a boat liveable for extended cruising or warm-water sailing. The result is a yacht that cost around EUR 520,000 to put on the water and seldom used since.The 490 is the flagship of Jeanneau's walkaround range, designed by Philippe Briand and Jean-Marc Piaton. The walkaround side decks let you move bow to stern without stepping over anything, every sheet leads back to the twin helms for easy short-handed sailing, and the forward owner's suite has a centreline shower stall with 6'6" headroom that you would normally only find on a much larger boat. Three cabins, two heads, a U-shaped galley placed for comfort underway, and a light-filled saloon with a proper nav station.This boat never saw charter service. She is a private, owner-finished 490 priced well below comparable examples because the owner is moving up and needs her sold. For a buyer who wants a nearly new, fully equipped bluewater 490 without the charter history or the wait, there is not a better one to buy. Additional Information AccommodationLimax features the highly sought-after three-cabin owner's configuration, offering an ideal balance of privacy, comfort, and practicality for extended cruising. The full-beam forward owner's suite features a large island berth, generous hanging lockers and drawer storage, and a private ensuite split into separate toilet and shower compartments. The centreline shower offers an impressive 6'6" of headroom, a feature typically reserved for much larger yachts.Aft, two spacious guest cabins each feature large double berths and hull portlights that provide excellent natural light and ventilation. These cabins share a second head with a separate shower compartment. The bright, open-plan saloon sits between, with a comfortable seating area, a U-shaped galley to port positioned near the vessel's centre of gravity for comfort while underway, and a dedicated navigation station with seating to starboard. The layout is perfectly suited for owners who want a luxurious private suite forward while comfortably accommodating family and guests.Interior Comforts & Amenities 3-cabin owner's version Full-beam forward owner's suite Large island berth forward Private ensuite with separate toilet compartment Separate owner's shower with 6'6" headroom (2) Spacious aft guest cabins with double berths Shared guest head with separate shower U-shaped galley Dedicated navigation station with seating Refrigerator with top-opening and vertical door Additional vertical-door refrigerator (Preference Trim) Deluxe (3)-burner gas stove with oven and grill (40 L) water heater connected to engine and 220V shore power Pressurized hot and cold freshwater system Heavy-duty freshwater pump with accumulator tank Dometic reverse-cycle air conditioning system Total capacity: 40,000 BTU (12,000 BTU) Forward cabin (16,000 BTU) Saloon (12,000 BTU) Aft cabins Operates from shore power or generator Headroom: Saloon: 6'7" (2.00 m) Forward cabin: 6'2" (1.88 m) Aft cabins: 6'3" (1.91 m) Owner's shower: 6'6" Electronics & Navigation Raymarine p70s autopilot ACU400 autopilot core unit Gyrocompass Raymarine Smart Controller wireless remote Raymarine Axiom Pro 9 multifunction touchscreen chartplotter with WiFi Second Raymarine Axiom Pro 9 multifunction touchscreen chartplotter Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler radar Raymarine i70s depth instrument Raymarine i70s speed instrument Raymarine i70s wind display Masthead wind sensor Raymarine Ray63 DSC VHF radio Raymarine AIS 700 transceiver External VHF handset Fusion RA70N stereo with Radio, USB and Bluetooth Bose saloon speakers Bose subwoofer Cockpit speakers Navionics cartography Electrical Systems 12V DC electrical system 220V AC shore power system (3) 115Ah house batteries Additional service batteries (Premiere Trim) 120Ah engine start battery Dedicated generator battery Dedicated bow thruster battery Fischer Panda 10000i generator (Installed August 2024) 230V / 50Hz Up to 8kW / 10kVA output Kubota Z602 engine PMGi 10000 inverter Scheiber 63A transfer switch 2,000W inverter Shore power inlet Battery charger (Premiere Trim) Deck & Hull Equipment 12V, 1,000W electric anchor windlass with 10 mm chain GRP bowsprit with integrated anchor roller Bimini top High-transparency sprayhood with integrated LED lighting Convertible cockpit package with port and starboard seating and sunbathing cushions Multi-function cockpit table with handrails Mooring kit with (6) fenders and (4) dock lines Large fold-down hydraulic swim platform with stern shower Telescopic swim ladder Stainless steel bow pulpit and pushpits with emergency boarding ladder Double-level stainless steel lifelines Dedicated transom locke
