Hanse 360
/ Hanse Yachts

This new model follows in lines and forms the innovations we had already seen on Hanse 410. There is a well-pronounced edge at the bow, which in addition to providing better stability when the boat is tilted, should provide more space inside the hull. As with its big brother, a (optional) next-generation electric propulsion system will be available on Hanse 360, which the shipyard says will have an unmatched range for its class. DISCOVER MORE.
