Sun Odyssey 509: Setting Sail with Luxury and Performance in Ibiza

In the sparkling waters of the Balearic Sea, where tradition meets innovation, the Sun Odyssey 509 offers a rare blend of sailing heritage and contemporary comfort. As one of the most respected models by Jeanneau, this 15.38-meter vessel redefines what it means to charter a sailboat in Ibiza—for families, friend groups, and corporate teams alike. ⛵🌅

Performance That Elevates the Journey

The Sun Odyssey 509 is powered by a Yanmar 75c engine and boasts a displacement of 13,900 kg. Yet, its true essence lies in its sail surface—114 square meters of responsive canvas, offering a balance of agility and speed for both amateur sailors and seasoned skippers. With a draft of 2.28 meters and beam of 4.69 meters, it navigates Ibiza’s coastline with a grace that few boats its size can match. 🌬️⚓

Thanks to a 240-liter fuel tank and an impressive 615-liter water capacity, longer voyages to remote coves or multi-day cruises to Formentera and Mallorca are comfortably within reach. Efficiency, autonomy, and fluid handling define the experience.

Interior Layout Designed Around Comfort

The 509’s interior configuration offers five guest cabins plus a dedicated skipper’s cabin. With three bathrooms—each featuring separate showers and electric discharge systems—it accommodates up to 10 overnight guests plus two additional berths in the convertible saloon. 🛌🚿

Whether you’re unwinding after a day in the sun or preparing for a candlelit dinner onboard, the fully equipped galley is ready to serve. Features include:

• 🍳 Three-burner stove and oven for full meal preparation.
• 🥶 175-liter refrigerator and 80-liter freezer for food and beverages.
• 💧 Hot water system for kitchen and showers alike.

Entertainment and Power Systems

This yacht is more than a place to sail—it’s a place to live. The entertainment setup rivals that of a boutique hotel suite, with a 32” LED TV and touchscreen DVD/MP3/IPOD/IPHONE integration. Paired with interior and exterior Bose speakers, guests can enjoy an immersive sound experience whether lounging in the cockpit or preparing cocktails in the saloon. 🎶📺

Onboard power is supplied by a 5Kw generator and a 600W 12v/220v converter, enabling reliable electricity for charging, cooking, and evening ambiance lighting—no marina hookup needed. 🔌🌀

Who This Yacht is Perfect For

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Large families or groups: With up to 12-person capacity and multiple cabins, the 509 supports group travel without feeling crowded.
• 🥂 Celebratory getaways: Birthdays, engagements, and anniversaries feel even more special surrounded by sea and sky.
• 💼 Corporate retreats: Escape the boardroom and strengthen bonds aboard a luxury sailboat with full facilities.
• 📸 Slow travel enthusiasts: Ideal for those seeking authentic moments away from the rush of motor yachts.

Charter Logistics and Costs

Charters exclude fuel, VAT (21%), and skipper fees (€150/day). However, for a yacht of this caliber, transparency in pricing allows guests to tailor their experience based on distance, anchorage duration, and provisioning needs. ⛽📊

Departures typically begin from Marina Botafoch or Santa Eulalia, both offering premium embarkation services and provisioning facilities. Clients are advised to book at least 4–6 weeks in advance during summer, especially if requesting multi-day itineraries or professional chef add-ons.

“The Sun Odyssey 509 has become one of our most requested vessels. It offers five-star sailing without intimidating newer sailors—and for those who truly want to connect with the sea, it’s an unforgettable platform.”
