What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
12 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for families The Hanse 385 is an ideal family cruiser with three cabins sleeping six comfortably, making it excellent value for a week's bareboat charter at €1500. The 2014 build keeps you modern without premium pricing, and the teak deck plus swimming platform add genuine comfort for families wanting to relax between sailing days.
Smart practical touches You get the essentials that matter: heating for shoulder seasons, a chart plotter in the cockpit, and a dinghy included, no hidden extras to negotiate. The bimini provides real shade in Mediterranean sun, and the refrigerator means fresh provisioning actually stays fresh, which beats many entry-level charters.
Honest value assessment At under €1600 per person per week for six people, this is solid value for a well-maintained German-built yacht in a proper charter fleet. The modest €2500 deposit is also refreshingly low, reducing upfront cash tied up before you sail.
One realistic note At 11.7 metres, she's cosy rather than spacious, three cabins mean at least one is snug, so confirm cabin layouts before booking if anyone prefers more elbow room. You'll want to know exactly where the base is located and your nearest international airport for flight planning, since that detail isn't listed here.
