Specifications

A 2024 Hanse 588 sailing yacht — a luxury performance cruiser and bluewater monohull — presents balanced proportions and reassuring capability: length overall 17.20 m, beam 5.20 m, draft 2.60 m, displacement 22.80 t, and a 6.5 t L‑Type keel for stable, efficient passage-making. Designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co and built by Hanse Yachts, this model 588 is arranged with three staterooms plus a dedicated crew cabin, while the saloon table converts electrically to a double berth for flexible guest accommodation. The hull is GRP in standard white gelcoat with a dark grey waterline, and the deck is GRP with synthetic teak laid throughout for low‑maintenance elegance. Power comes from an upgraded Yanmar 4LV of 150 hp showing two hundred and twenty hours, complemented by a Fischer Panda eight kilowatt generator with fifty‑one hours. Cruising speed is approximately 7.5 knots and maximum speed about 10 knots. CE certificate category ratings are A – 12, B – 16, and C – 20, offering confidence for coastal and offshore cruising alike. General warranty remains valid until April 2026, and the yacht sails under the British flag.

Engine

The upgraded Yanmar 4LV diesel delivers 150 hp with approximately two hundred and twenty engine hours, pushing this sailing yacht to a comfortable cruising speed of 7.5 knots and a top speed of about 10 knots. A direct shaft drive pairs with a Flexofold four‑blade propeller for smooth thrust and efficient performance, while the GRP rudder with an aluminium stock and self‑aligning bearings gives precise, low‑effort steering. Fuel capacity is 520 litres, ideal for extended passages typical of a bluewater performance cruiser.

Equipment

Onboard equipment is curated for independence and comfort: a Fischer Panda eight kilowatt generator with fifty‑one hours supports house systems; Quick retractable bow and stern thrusters on twenty‑four volts make close‑quarters handling simple; and an Aquaprime watermaker producing 320 litres per hour with production control keeps the tanks topped up offshore. Climate control comes via forty thousand BTU across four units, with a dedicated 220 V shore‑power connection. Entertainment is handled by a Fusion MS‑AV755 with Bluetooth in the saloon, a Fusion MS‑AB206 subwoofer amplifier, a Fusion MS‑NRX cockpit controller, four speakers in the saloon and two in the cockpit. Boarding is effortless with a remote‑controlled Besenzoni passerelle that retracts into the transom. A nimble Agilis 280 Jet Tender stows in the garage, eased by the Easy Tender System that winches the tender aboard and a compressor for quick inflation — a thoughtful suite for a luxury cruising yacht.

Batteries

The DC system is robust and cruising‑focused: four 160 Ah AGM house batteries anchor the domestic bank, with a dedicated 90 Ah AGM for the engine and another 90 Ah AGM for the generator. Thruster power is split across two 160 Ah AGM twenty‑four volt batteries forward and two 160 Ah AGM twenty‑four volt batteries aft. A Mastervolt Combi 12 V/220 V 3.3 kW inverter/charger manages conversion and charging, supported by 220 V 50 Hz shore power — a dependable foundation for a modern sailing yacht.

Navigation

A full B&G suite equips the helm for confident passagemaking: twin B&G Zeus3 S twelve‑inch chartplotters, one at each helm, pair with four B&G Triton2 multifunction displays. Situational awareness is enhanced by a B&G Halo 20+ radar with wireless connectivity and a B&G AIS Class B transponder with a wireless antenna. Communications run through a B&G VHF 60 with a wireless handset and wireless antenna. For steady course‑keeping, the B&G autopilot integrates two Triton control heads and a Precision 9 compass — a capable package for a performance cruiser.

Accommodations

The Hanse layout system A2, B1, C2, D2, E2 maximizes space and privacy: a silent owner’s cabin forward is complemented by two guest cabins aft, plus a crew cabin in the bow with separate access. The saloon table retracts electrically to form a double berth with matching cushions. There are three ensuite fresh‑water electric toilets for the owner and guests, and a manual unit for the crew, served by three showers. Tankage is thoughtful for extended cruising: fresh water 770 litres with a transom connection for continuous flow, hot water 40 litres via immersion heater and calorifier, grey water 100 litres, and black water split across one 35‑litre, two 85‑litre, and one 50‑litre tanks. Finishes include varnished satin mahogany and French oak furniture, acacia flooring, and teak on all toilet and shower bases, paired with Sorrento Silver upholstery. Lighting sets the tone with courtesy lights, concealed cabin illumination, LED dimmers in the saloon, and a touch‑control panel — practical luxury for a bluewater cruising yacht.

Galley

The galley is designed for real cruising life: a three‑burner gas stove with oven sits beneath a Miele extractor hood, while a double sink with a mixing tap makes prep and cleanup simple. White Corian countertops give a clean, durable work surface. Cold storage is generous with a Vitrifrigo twelve‑volt 140‑litre refrigerator and a Vitrifrigo twelve‑volt 70‑litre freezer, complemented by a Miele 220 V microwave and a Fisher & Paykel 220 V dishwasher. The LPG system includes stowage for two bottles and a cut‑off valve — a dependable setup for a luxury sailing yacht.

Deck equipment

On deck, the 588 balances easy handling and comfort: two Lewmar 65 EST EVO electric halyard winches work alongside two Lewmar 55 ST EVO manual secondary winches, feeding twin black GRP Y‑spoke helms. The cockpit table retracts electrically, converts to a sunbed, and features LED lighting. Overhead, a black GRP hardtop bimini with a sliding canvas roof carries the mainsheet. Forward visibility is protected by a reinforced glass windshield with a stainless‑steel frame. Illumination includes cockpit and side‑deck courtesy lights, spreader lights facing up and down the rig, and underwater lighting. Aft, a hydraulic bathing platform with remote, swim ladder, and improved buoyancy opens the sea right at your feet. Ground tackle comprises a stainless‑steel 40 kg Delta anchor and one hundred metres of ten millimetre stainless chain with a Powerball swivel, managed by a Quick 1500 W windlass with controls both at the unit and at the helm; a double roller with a connection point is ready for a downwind sail or a second forestay. Eight retractable cleats, a cockpit wet bar with BBQ, sink, refrigerator and storage, a freshwater deck wash aft and seawater wash forward, plus a hot‑and‑cold freshwater cockpit shower round out day‑to‑day convenience. Custom upholstery and canvas include full cockpit enclosure and bespoke sunshades for mid and foredeck areas with poles. Safety gear covers a liferaft, flares, first aid kit, fire extinguishers, CO2 and smoke alarms, and a horseshoe with light, while ship’s spares include eight fenders, four mooring lines, four long lines, a boat hook, and a Hanse maintenance kit — the details that elevate a luxury performance cruiser.

Mast and rigging

The rig is engineered for control and reliability: a Selden keel‑stepped anodized aluminium mast with triple spreaders, Selden electric in‑mast furling for the mainsail, and an electric Furlex 404E jib furler. Dyneema halyards for main and jib reduce stretch and weight aloft, while a manual hydraulic backstay adjuster lets you fine‑tune sail shape — ideal for a performance‑minded cruising yacht.

Sails

Sail inventory is practical and efficient for shorthanded cruising: an Elvstrom Dacron mainsail of 80.40 m² and a self‑tacking Elvstrom Dacron jib of 64.00 m² — an easy‑to‑handle, durable setup that suits a luxury bluewater sailing yacht.
