Discover how it all began:
The Hanse 348, Hanse 388, Hanse 418 and Hanse 548. They are presented for the first time in Cannes.
All the models amaze with their even greater cosy living atmosphere, a highly modern interior with a diverse range of trendy colours and new, elegant woods.
At the same time, the yachts score with an even roomier cockpit, stylish lines, an enlarged sailing area and a safer, faster performance.
In 2016, HanseYachts goes e-mobility and brings the first series-manufactured yacht to hanseboot in Hamburg, the Hanse 315, featuring the e-motion rudder drive.
The Hanse 315 is voted European Yacht of the Year in the category Family Cruiser. The jury is convinced by its perfect combination of modern design, best performance, easy handling, high number of individualisation options and moderate price.
The new Hanse 588 follows from the renowned Hanse 575. It offers a twin forestay as standard, a carbon-reinforced T-top and the Hanse innovation Silet Mastercabin, which dampens bothersome noises to guarantee superb peace and quiet. The cabin is outfitted with special noise insulation and all the pumps and systems are outside the cabin.
The new Hanse 315. The yacht is available as desired with wheel or tiller steering. It is nominated European Yacht of the Year.
With the new flagship, the Hanse 675, the first Hanse model with a carbon-reinforced T-top goes into series manufacture.
It continues the concept of individualisation without compromise and is introduced to the market with three keel and a high number of layout variants.
It amazes with the largest cockpit in its class and offers an optional sunlounge as a special extra on the cabin superstructure in front of the mast.
The Hanse 505 sets new standards in its class when it comes to comfort, performance and number of options for individualisation.
In December 2013, the 100th Hanse 575 is sold to Australia.
HanseYachts perfects its Easy Sailing Concept and offers a cockpit which is completely free of all ropes in the Hanse 345, once again as the first yard for series manufacture. All the ropes are guided to the helm. This makes the Hanse 345 perfect for sailing alone – comfortably and easily.
As the first yard for series manufacture, HanseYachts offers a yacht in the Hanse 575 which stows the tender in a space-saving way lengthwise in the boat.
The Hanse 415, launched in 2011, is voted European Yacht of the Year in the category Family Cruiser by a jury of experts.
The first Hanse 385 is launched and sets sail for the boat shows in Scandinavia just a short time after on its own keel.
In Dusseldorf, the new Hanse 415 is presented for the first time.
HanseYachts pushes forward the trend to LED and, together with lamp designers, develops the Hanse Smart Lighting Concept. Various light sources (indirect lighting in the ceiling of the saloon, atop cupboards, in the bow or on the floor) create the perfect overall lighting atmosphere. The concept is available for the models Hanse 385, Hanse 415, Hanse 445, Hanse 495 and Hanse 545.
HanseYachts develops the Hanse Smart Mooring System. This enables the yachts to be easily manoeuvred in narrow harbours via joystick. The system is introduced in series at the beginning of the 2011/2012 model year in the Hanse 445 and Hanse 495.
The last Hanse 400 leaves the yard. With a course of 6,000 sea miles to Brazil, it takes on the longest delivery voyage in its class on its own keel. It marks the end of the successful Hanse 400 capital and lends a special, honourable touch to the closure.
The new models Hanse 325 and Hanse 355 replace the older Hanse 320 and Hanse 350.
In autumn 2010 in Southampton, the successor of the Hanse 430, the Hanse 445, is launched.
The yacht is presented for the first time at the Tuborg Boat Show in Denmark and amazes visitors with its enlarged cockpit, an optional second wheel, a sunlit saloon with excellent ventilation, and outstanding performance.
At the HISWA in IJmouden, HanseYachts presents the new Hanse 545. Visitors are amazed by the yacht’s spaciousness and its solid, innovative construction which guarantees fast, easy and safe sailing.
The entire range is put on display at boot Dusseldorf: the Hanse 630e as the largest boat, the Hanse 320 and Hanse 350, the further developments of the Hanse 315 and Hanse 342 models. Each present the new exterior language and interior design.
The SY Frühstücksdirektor sails at the 2007 Baltic Sprint Cup and is the first to cross the finish line at every stage of the race. It takes first place in the overall ranking and is the fastest yacht by far. Also on board are Jörn Bock, Ralf Moser and Jan Dabelstein.
HanseYachts continues its presence in the regatte scene in April 2008. For the crew of the Minnic, the yard develops a cruise-racer yacht based on the Hanse 430e: the Hanse 430e competition. It scores with 20 per cent more sailing area and 1.5 metric tons less weight, without compromising outstanding stability and an optimised deck layout.
The owner, Eiken Albers, and his high-calibre crew – Ralph Moser, Jörn Bock, Stefan Matschuk, Rasmus Pichler, Timo Jacobs, Jan Dabelstein and Jörn Dierks – successfully participate in the most renowned regattas in the Mediterranean.
At the start of 2006, the Hanse 430 is launched. It is a yacht with fast lines and a sporty open stern.
The Hanse 400e, the epoxy version of the Hanse 400, is awarded as European Yacht of the Year.
Leveraging its huge expertise and spirit for innovation, the yard builds the world's largest series-manufactured yacht to date: the Hanse 630e. With it, Hanse launches the first intelligent hinged armature system in series manufacture.

The Hanse 461 wins the coveted special award Europe’s Most Innovative Yacht, within the vote for the European Yacht of the Year, at boot Dusseldorf.
The yard caters even more closely to customers’ desires by offering them the chance to customise their dream boat. After many ideas and trials, HanseYachts announces the solution: its Individual Cabin Concept. It enables series-manufactured yachts to be individualised to a maximum. Thanks to intelligent technology and exceptional know-how, customers are now spoilt for choice when it comes to the interior design of their personal yacht.
The new Hanse 400 is available in 80 different variants, for instance. And together with the Hanse 370, it is the first series-manufactured yacht with a steep stem. This provides a longer water line and the typical Hanse performance.
The Hanse Easy Sailing Concept enjoys increasing popularity among sailing enthusiasts and is continually enhanced. The yard focuses on the evolution of the typical Hanse, clear contour language and subsequently launches the Hanse 342 on the market. Likewise constructed of brand-new epoxy, the Hanse 461 perfectly complements the Hanse 411 and the flagship Hanse 531 which are also offered in an epoxy construction.
The models Hanse 311, later the Hanse 312, Hanse 411 and Hanse 371 receive a high-quality, modern facelift. The saloon of the Hanse 411 and Hanse 371 is fitted out with a cosy atmosphere thanks to comfortable chairs. The map table not only serves as the navigation hub, it is also integrated into the room concept. Together with a one-rope reefing system, the yachts are even family-friendlier, both above and below deck.
A jury, consisting of the eleven most significant European water sport magazines, votes for the Hanse 341 as the first-place winner and the Hanse 311 as the second-place winner of the renowned Yacht of the Year award, honoured at boot Dusseldorf.

Extensive investments are made in new machine-based technologies and manufacturing plants. In this financial year, the Hanse 300 and Hanse 311 receive a completely refurbished and modern high-gloss interior.
In 2001, HanseYachts brings out the Hanse 411, another successful yacht extending over 40 feet. The Hanse 341 is also launched, likewise featuring a new construction in collaboration with judel/vrolijk & co..

The Hanse 371 is honoured as European Yacht of the Year. Together with the Hanse 401, it is the first yacht on the market to be series manufactured with a high-gloss finish. With the Hanse 371, the grey cast iron / lead keel is integrated into a further series-manufactured model.

Hanse Yachts’ modern boatyard is built. It draws on the expertise of the former Greifswald Shipyard, with its long tradition of craftsmanship and deep pool of skilled labour.
The shipyard and boatbuilding in Greifswald look back over a centuries-old tradition:
In the 1980s. Greifswald Shipyard (formerly VEB Boots- und Reparaturwerft) launches its last newly-built sailing yacht.
1971. The ship repair business of the VEB Boots- und Reparaturwerft gets under way as an offshoot of the publicly owned Volkswerft Stralsund (People’s Yard of Stralsund). The Greifswald yard specialises in repair work, subcontracting and the production of consumer goods.
1953. The old Buchholz yard is nationalised by the East German authorities and becomes VEB Boots- und Reparaturwerft.
1911. Richard Buchholz buys the only Greifswald yard to survive the decline of trading under sail. Over the following 40 years, he builds it back up. Parts of his shipyard can still be seen today on the site of the Greifswald Museum Harbour.
1810. That master of German romantic landscape painting, Caspar David Friedrich, looks out over the water from today’s Hanse Yachts yard as he paints the ships lying in the port of Greifswald. His paintings, now highly valued, preserve to this day the importance of shipping and shipbuilding in the city.
1310 to 1363. The heyday of the Hanseatic League saw the city of Greifswald flourish. Its first mention as a member of the League came in 1278, and it remains known as an important Hanseatic city, dedicated to shipping and boatbuilding.
Early 13th century. Salt workers founded a settlement around the Eldena monastery, from which Greifswald emerged. Traces of the saltpans that they worked can still be seen on the Hanse Yachts site today.
