Open up a world of possibilities with the Hanse 348's cruising flexibility, durability, and accommodations that allow you to enjoy longer sailing trips. The expansive cockpit and deck are very large for this size vessel. An exceptional cruiser with the most cutting-edge options and equipment, the possibilities are almost endless on the 348.

Here are a few of the Hanse 348's characteristics that make it a unique, 

• The high rig on the 348 allows for a large sail area at the masthead. The wind is normally stable at this height which can increase the speed of the vessel and keep good balance.
• The 348 has both a steep stern and a straight stem. This design attribute provides a long waterline at any heeling angle which results in superior speed.
• The sail has been trimmed for optimal performance and there is an adjustable backstay included. This enables both the mast and the profile of the sail to adapt to the wind as it changes.
• Hanse Yachts invented the integrated self-tacking jib system so all the lines go to the helm. Captains can now sail alone or enjoy more of the time with guests on board without working so much.
• The deck of the 348 is very smooth and clean. The halyards and sheets are hidden below deck.
• You have the ability to control the entire Helmsman system from the cockpit.

The main deck of the 348 has a minimalist, clean design that allows for more freedom of movement. The cockpit is an excellent space for lounging or having a meal with friends al fresco. The transom gate folds down to extend the sitting area and two lounge seats offer a place to enjoy the sun.

The salon is extremely open and light thanks to the skylights featured on all Hanse Yachts. The materials, wood, and furnishings are all as elegant as possible while also having a sense of practicality. Space is plentiful in the salon and the galley is well-equipped to handle meal preparation for multiple guests.

The lower deck layout includes two different variations to best suit the owner's needs. The Hanse 348 offers up to three cabins on board including a master suite in the bow. There is a wardrobeat the backboard and placed on the starboard side. Guest cabins also feature an incredible amount of space and storage, particularly for a sub-40 foot sailing yacht.
