About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Ideal for families The Hanse 505 is a brilliant family cruiser with five cabins and room for nine people, making it perfect for multi-generational trips or two couples who want their own space. The 2016 build keeps things modern and reliable without the premium price tag of a newer model.
Well-equipped vessel This boat doesn't skimp on comfort, electric winches, bow thruster, air conditioning, and a generator mean less sweat and easier handling, especially if you're not hardcore sailors. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood create a genuinely pleasant outdoor space for extended cruising or anchoring.
Solid value proposition At 15.4 metres with this spec and capacity, you're getting serious cruising range and livability for a reasonable charter cost. The €3,500 deposit is modest, and the equipment list suggests an owner who's invested in guest comfort rather than cutting corners.
One note of caution The operator has only one review on record, so you won't find much independent feedback yet. Before booking, it's worth asking Miknatis directly about their maintenance schedule, backup support if issues arise, and confirmation of the base location, that detail isn't showing here, which you'll need for flight connections.

The marina & destination
Based at Netsel Marmaris Marina, in Marmaris, Turkey. Kia Ora is operated by Miknatis Yachting.
Sarıana Mah., M.Münir Elgin Bulvarı 38/2
Netsel Marmaris is well-positioned for exploring the Turkish Riviera's protected bays and islands; week one typically takes you east along the Datça Peninsula toward Ekincik, or west to the Greek islands of Symi and Rhodes depending on wind conditions. The marina offers good facilities for turnaround and provisioning, with the prevailing northwesterly winds (Etesian) favoring coastal hops to anchorages like Selimiye, Orhaniye, and Bozburun. This is an established charter base with straightforward access to shallow-water cruising among pine-backed coves, making it suitable for mixed-experience crews.
