Ifestos (Hanse 575)

Who it suits This 575 is perfect for larger groups or extended families wanting a comfortable, well-equipped sailing experience without roughing it. At 17 metres with five cabins sleeping nine, you've got real space and privacy, rare on charter boats at this length.

Standout features The spec sheet reads like a luxury list: solar panels, generator, inverter, air conditioning, bow thruster, and a hydraulic gangway make this boat genuinely easy to live aboard and manoeuvre. You're getting serious cruising comfort here, teak cockpit, bimini, sprayhood, plus entertainment gear and snorkelling kit included.

Value proposition At roughly €7,900 per week, you're paying premium rates, but the 2014 build year combined with this equipment density suggests a well-maintained, modern cruiser that justifies the cost. For transatlantic clients flying to the base, you're getting a turnkey vessel that requires minimal learning curve.

One honest note We'd want to know the charter base location, the operator (Ifestos Sailing) hasn't been specified in your brief, and that dramatically affects accessibility for international guests. Check flight connections and transfer times before booking; that detail matters far more than the boat's features when you're travelling from abroad.
