Bareboat Sailing Yacht Hanse 588

The Hanse 588 represents modern German yacht engineering at its finest. Built in 2020, this sailing yacht combines intuitive handling with genuine comfort, making it equally suited to experienced sailors seeking independence and those confident enough to command their own vessel. Five cabins accommodate your group across the Dodecanese, with all primary sail controls led aft to the cockpit for effortless short-handed operation.

What distinguishes this Hanse is the integrated tender garage. Rather than lashing an inflatable to the deck, this yacht features a dedicated stowage system with electric winch deployment. Lower the bathing platform, engage the rollers, and secure your tender in minutes. It's the kind of thoughtful engineering that separates a good sailing yacht from an exceptional one.

Bareboat charter means you have complete autonomy. Navigate the crystalline waters surrounding Kos and the wider Dodecanese at your own pace, free from scheduled itineraries or group dynamics. The self-tacking jib and well-appointed sail plan reward confident helmsmanship without demanding constant attention.

The Dodecanese Islands offer a cruising ground of rare authenticity. These lesser-known islands remain largely untouched by mass tourism yet offer excellent anchorages, natural harbours, and villages where Greek island life unfolds at its own rhythm. From Kos, you might explore Patmos with its medieval monastery, anchor in the sheltered bays of Leros, or venture to remote islets accessible only by private vessel. Summer winds are reliable, the Aegean light is unforgiving in its beauty, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming through September.
