What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
10 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 This 2016 Hanse 505 suits groups of 6, 9 wanting comfortable cruising without performance racing demands. Five cabins mean everyone gets their own space, which matters when you're sharing a 14.8m yacht for a week.
Well-equipped vessel Electric winches, autopilot, and a swimming platform tick all the modern comfort boxes, you won't be wrestling halyards or jumping off the stern to cool down. The bimini top is genuinely useful for Mediterranean or Atlantic charters, protecting you from midday sun during long passages or anchorages.
Solid value proposition A six-year-old Hanse in this size range offers proven build quality and reasonable pricing for a five-cabin layout. The €6,000 deposit is standard for a yacht this age and size through Arcadie Plaisance, a reputable French operator.
One practical note You'll need to confirm the charter base location with Arcadie, it's not listed in your data, so you can plan your airport connection before booking. That matters if you're flying from the US or UK, as base proximity to major hubs affects your total travel time significantly.
