About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect starter boat The Hanse 345 "Ursa Minor" is ideal for couples or small families new to sailing, or experienced crews wanting a manageable, well-equipped vessel. At 10.4 metres with three cabins, it strikes a smart balance between comfortable accommodation and straightforward handling.
Thoughtful kit onboard This boat comes properly set up for bareboat cruising: lazy jack and bag make sail handling effortless, the sprayhood and bimini keep you dry and shaded, and useful extras like solar panels, electric toilet, and snorkeling gear show the owner understands what makes a charter relaxing. The cockpit chart plotter and autopilot remove unnecessary stress during longer passages.
Solid value proposition At €2,210 per week with zero deposit, this is competitive pricing for a 2017 Hanse in good condition, and Istion Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (12 reviews) suggests you're dealing with a reliable operator who maintains their fleet well. You're getting a modern, capable boat without premium pricing.
One real consideration The charter base location isn't specified in the data, so confirm flight connections and airport transfer time before booking, if it's tucked somewhere requiring two flights or a 3+ hour drive from the nearest international hub, that could eat into your sailing time for a week-long charter.

The marina & destination
Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Ursa Minor is operated by Istion Yachting.
Preveza Main Port sits at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Ionian Islands to the west and the protected waters of the gulf itself to the east. Week 1 typically involves sailing north toward Lefkada and Meganisi or south along the mainland coast to Zakynthos, with reliable northwesterly winds (Maestro) providing consistent sailing conditions. The marina offers good provisioning and is close enough to Athens airport for convenient transfers, though expect some swell in the outer Ionian during summer and plan accordingly for the narrow entrance channel.
