Sun Odyssey 49i sailing yacht – Sukošan

Yacht Overview

For travelers looking for a dependable cruising sailboat in Croatia, we recommend the Sun Odyssey 49i, a well-known choice among our guests planning a charter out of Sukošan. From our experience, this model hits a sweet spot: comfortable for life aboard, yet manageable for a crew that doesn’t want to overthink every maneuver.

Built in 2008 and measuring 14.94 meters in length with a 4.57-meter beam, this sailboat is designed for relaxed days and smooth evenings. With 4 cabins onboard, it accommodates 8 berths in cabins plus 2 additional berths, which actually makes a big difference when friends join for a couple of extra nights. We’ve noticed that groups appreciate the balanced layout—especially on longer stays along the Adriatic.

Operating from Sukošan, guests who have trusted us often tell us the same thing: the route planning feels easier when the boat is equipped for modern navigation. Here you’ll find a GPS system with plotter, an autopilot, and a chart plotter to support confident sailing. Manoeuvring in marinas is also more comfortable thanks to the bow thruster. And yes, the cockpit is far from bare—cockpit speakers and a bimini top help keep the atmosphere pleasant even when the sun insists on showing up!

Under sail, the roll genoa and roll main sail are a practical match for changing winds. For comfort at anchor, there’s a refrigerator and cockpit teak details that our guests always comment on.

We also advise considering the tender for easier shore access. One more thing we state with certainty: if you want a charter sailboat in Croatia that feels ready for real holidays, the Sun Odyssey 49i is a smart pick—calm, capable, and genuinely inviting!
