Amadea (ONLY SKIPPERED) (Hanse 588)

Ideal for experienced sailors This 2020 Hanse 588 is a cracking modern cruiser that suits confident sailors who want to skip the hassle of managing their own boat logistics. At 17.2 metres with four cabins, she's spacious enough for small groups or families, but the skippered-only arrangement means you'll need to either bring your own sailing crew or budget for a professional skipper on top of the charter price.

Well-equipped and thoughtful Amadea ticks all the boxes for extended cruising: water maker, generator, solar panels, and a bow thruster take the stress out of tight anchorages and self-sufficiency. The teak deck and cockpit cushions signal she's been cared for, and the fact that Istion Yachting (5/5 rated) maintains her in a modern yacht fleet is genuinely reassuring.

Fair value proposition At €5,920 per week with zero deposit required, the pricing is competitive for a 2020 boat of this calibre in the Mediterranean (assuming that's the base location, details aren't specified here). The skippered model does add cost, but you're paying for peace of mind and local knowledge rather than DIY stress.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed in your details, which matters hugely for international clients arranging flights and transfers. Before booking, confirm where she sails from and how long you'll need to factor in to reach her from major European or US hubs
