Building on the remarkable popularity of the Hanse 360—recipient of the 2025 European Yacht of the Year award—HanseYachts AG is thrilled to introduce its newest creation: the Hanse 360 ST. This launch marks an exciting evolution in the brand’s performance cruiser line, combining the trusted foundation of the original 360 model with a series of carefully engineered enhancements designed for those who sail with ambition and edge.
Hanse 360 ST Makes Its Debut: A Bold Step Forward in Performance Sailing
Crafted for sailors who crave both responsive handling and elevated comfort, the Hanse 360 ST delivers a perfect fusion of sporty performance and modern luxury. Whether you're chasing speed on a regatta weekend or enjoying a spirited cruise along the coast, this upgraded version ensures agility on the water without sacrificing the customisable elegance Hanse is known for.
It’s also an ideal choice for sailing boat charter operators looking to offer clients a more dynamic and premium experience—especially those catering to performance-orientated cruisers who want more than just a leisurely sail.
What Sets the Hanse 360 ST Apart?
