Luxury Bluewater sailing yacht. Low engine hours. Excellent charter or family cruiser

ANDROS is a 2023 Hanse 508, 5-cabin 3-head option, which is for sale by her first owners, having been operated as a charter vessel out of Athens, Greece. She has been diligently cared for with regular servicing and maintenance and is presented in fantastic overall condition.

Built in Germany and registered under the Greek flag, this Hanse 508 pairs the Judel/Vrolijk & Co designed, genuinely quick and easily driven hull, with a five-cabin / three-head interior conceived for comfortable bluewater passage making. Her wide, open decks and light filled saloon reflect Hanse's signature progressive design; while a fully equipped galley, electric bathing platform, solar power and a well-specified deck package make her equally suited to relaxed at-anchor living or serious offshore mileage.

ANDROS holds a current Certificate of General Inspection for Small Passenger Ships (valid to 05/02/2027, Hellenic Lloyd's S.A.), certified for 12 passengers with no crew required, backed by a full GMDSS/EPIRB communications suite and a matched liferaft and lifejacket inventory; meaning a buyer considering charter income alongside private use inherits a boat that is already certified and operational, rather than one requiring recertification before entering service.

A self-tacking jib and Selden aluminium rig keep sail handling straightforward even when shorthanded, and her sail inventory and deck gear are both confirmed in good condition. Serious enquiries and viewings are welcomed.

Andros presents very well for a 2023 build. Low engine hours, a fresh antifouling application and a newly fitted bow thruster all point to a vessel that has been kept in genuinely turnkey condition rather than simply run. Her certified passenger status and full commercial safety inventory are a real advantage for buyers considering charter income alongside private use, removing much of the recertification work a private-registered equivalent would need before entering charter service. The self-tacking jib and twin-wheel cockpit make her a genuinely easy boat to handle shorthanded, without sacrificing the performance the 508 is known for. Priced sensibly, we'd expect strong interest from both private owners and charter operators. Early viewing is recommended.
