Nineteen (Hanse 348)

Perfect for couples or small families seeking a modern, easy-to-sail boat without the complexity of larger vessels. The 2024 Hanse 348 punches well above its weight for comfort and handling in this size bracket.

Standout features include the lazy jack system (makes sail handling genuinely relaxing), sprayhood for weather protection, and a proper swimming platform, ideal for Swedish archipelago cruising where you'll want to cool off between islands. The chart plotter in the cockpit keeps navigation straightforward and stress-free.

Honest value here: at €3,900/week with a manageable €2,500 deposit, you're getting a brand-new boat with solid kit for a reasonable mid-range price. For North American or UK clients flying into Sweden, this represents genuine value compared to older, similarly-sized alternatives at charter bases closer to home.

One realistic note: at 10.4 metres and 6 berths, three cabins means tight quarters if you're really six people, two will bunk quite snugly. It's genuinely better suited to four happy sailors or two couples, where the space shines and the boat feels spacious rather than cosy.
