The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49 is one of the largest sailing yachts in Santorini. The number in the model name refers to the length – 49 feet, which is almost 15 metres.
The yacht was built in 2004 and renovated in 2020. The main idea of the Jeanneau shipyard in designing this sailboat is to sail fast while maintaining comfort at sea.
The main saloon is spacious and light-filled, with natural light streaming in through ceiling hatches and two rows of windows along the sides of the hull, creating a sense of space.
Speaking of outdoor relaxation at sea, this 49-foot yacht has a large deck with comfortable seating areas – definitely enough room for sunbathing. At the same time, a large awning can completely cover the aft seating area, allowing you to spend time in the shade.
As a basic itinerary for a half-day charter, we suggest a cruise through the inner part of the Santorini caldera. It is shown schematically in the slideshow of photos above. Such a route takes about 5 hours. Depending on the direction and strength of the wind, as well as your desire, it can be varied, for example, by staying longer at your favourite spot:
During the trip you will be offered a full lunch (or dinner, depending on the time of day), accompanied by our local Santorini wine, beer and refreshments.
The Sun Odyssey 49 can accommodate up to 6 passengers, so it’s perfect for private outings with friends, family and loved ones. The yacht can be used for relaxing in the sea or for celebrations such as birthdays.
If you decide to charter a sailing yacht in Santorini and choose the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49, you can use the five-hour itinerary as the main programme. The same itinerary can be sailed in the morning or in the evening, depending on your preference.

Please note that the schedule of the yacht trip is subject to change. Changes are extremely rare and are usually due to weather conditions on the island or at sea. These can be strong winds, storms, rain or other force majeure situations. We try to inform you about all changes in advance.
Program at the beginning of the season
ATTENTION: at the very beginning of the summer season (01.04 — 15.05) the program may be changed (rescheduling of dates, times or languages of accompanying). Please check the details you are interested in with the customer care managers before purchasing.
Please read Cancellation and Refund policy.
In case there are less than 24 hours left before the trip, please book only after agreeing with the manager on availability.
Before going to sea, it is necessary to issue some special documents (forms with information regarding route, crew and all passengers). To do this, we need the full name (as in the passport), gender, age and citizenship of all participants. If you already have this information, you can write it in the comments field when placing an order.
You will receive your tickets by email or WhatsApp – whichever is more convenient for you.
Please keep all documents and tickets until the end of the trip!
It depends on the location of your hotel or villa. Some cities of Santorini are famous for their narrow streets, which are not so easy to walk even on foot. So in some cases you will need to walk to the main road, some nearest square or parking place, where a car or a tour bus can pick you up. If your hotel has good road access, then the transfer will be able to pick you up directly from the hotel.
After placing an order, you will receive detailed information about the place and time of the meeting, as well as all the necessary documents. Please read them carefully beforehand.
During the season in Santorini there is a lot of sun and very little shade. So you will definitely need sun protection: special cream, glasses, headwear, and so on. If there is a possibility of motion sickness in transport, we recommend that you take appropriate pills an hour and a half before departure. If you plan to sunbathe and swim, bring your swimwear. There are towels, masks, snorkels and flippers on the yacht. If you choose the sunset option, make sure you have some warm clothing with you, as even on a hot day it can be chilly in the sea at night.
All passengers on board should have their passport or ID card with them in case the port authority performs a check of the ship. A paper copy or a photo on a cellphone will be sufficient.
If the weather does not allow you to make the yacht trip in Santorini, we will try to reschedule it for the next day with good weather. If there is no such date, we will refund the entire amount of your payment.
