We would like to stress the fact that a discount is not the most important factor when buying a yacht for charter. The most important fact is the purchase price/charter income ratio supported by a strong charter company which is able to achieve good booking results for your yacht. We, as one of the biggest charter companies in the area, are able to provide booking results/charter income than cannot be matched by other charter companies or brands in Croatia.
Hanse yachts come from an innovative boatyard that produces fast and comfortable sailing yachts. Their innovative solutions and build quality make them stand out from the competition. Hanse yachts have just recently entered the charter segment and they have already proved themselves with excellent booking results as their fast cruising and easy sailing concept proved to be a winning formula. Hanse is setting high standards for “comfort at sea” and development of fast yachts with an excellent price/performance ratio. As one of the largest builders of production yachts in Europe, Hanse combines the tradition of superb craftsmanship with modern techniques and materials. Vinyl ester resin in production boat building is one of Hanse’s most outstanding innovations.
Hanse, with models in various sizes, from the practical 315 up to the very elegant Hanse 675 offer some of the fastest designs.
All Hanse yachts are designed by Judel/vrolijk & co, the world´s leading naval architects who are responsible for defending the America's Cup title with Alinghi. They have an enduring personal and professional relationship with Hanse Yachts. Their innovative design approach has resulted in yachts that bring unique performance advantages in beating upwind, reaching and gliding downwind.
In the Hanse Yachting World ownership model the purchase of the yacht can be financed in different ways: savings, loan or leasing. Still, the most suitable and common way of yacht purchase is leasing. The purchase is financed with a deposit that is usually between 35% and 50% of the purchase price while the minimal deposit required by leasing companies is 30% of the purchase price. The rest is paid in monthly or quarterly annuities. We will provide the most convenient sources of funding through our cooperation with leasing companies known for their lasting professional experience in yacht financing. You are free to take care of the yacht purchase in your own arrangement if you wish to do so. With the Hanse Yachting World Ownership model the investor’s charter income should cover the monthly leasing or loan annuities along with all the other costs.
In the Hanse Yachting World Partnership model the investor needs to finance 55% - 60% of the yachts purchase price (depending on the boat model) while the charter company pays the rest. The investors share cannot be financed with a lease as the investor does not become an owner until the end of the 5 and a half year period. After 5 and a half years in the program the purchase of the yacht is fully financed and the investor becomes the sole owner of the yacht.
In the Hanse Yachting World Ownership model, the contract is signed on a yearly basis for one year. You can back out of the contract at any time but you would have to reimburse the down payments of the charter clients for the periods that are booked for charter within the initial period covered by the contract.
In the Hanse Yachting World Partnership model, the contract is signed for the period of 5 and a half years. After your initial investment, there are no further obligations for you arising from the contract. After the 5 and a half year period the contract expires and you become the sole owner of the yacht. If you wish to do so, you can start earning extra income with your yacht by entering our Hanse Yachting World Ownership model.

In the Hanse Yachting World Ownership model, the final decision is yours, regardless of what specific model or number of cabins you choose. However, in order to make your purchase more favourable we will recommend the most profitable Hanse models according to our professional experience. Moreover, with detailed calculation of cost and income we will present the cost-effectiveness of particular yacht models in order to help you find the most suitable yacht that will match your needs.
In case you already own a yacht you can still join our program. Feel free to contact us and earn additional income with your yacht.
In the Hanse Yachting World Partnership model, you can choose only from our own selection of yachts that are equipped by our specifications in order to guaranty enough bookings for the return of our costs and investment.
In the Hanse Yachting World ownership model you can buy the yacht in your name or in the name of your company and register it accordingly. Still, only a company has the right to claim VAT reimbursement which significantly affects the final price of the yacht as well as the prices for yacht maintenance, berth and so on. This is why we suggest opening a company in the EU if you do not have one. The yacht has to be registered in the EU, meaning that it has to have an EU country flag and that includes Croatia. The process of founding a company in Croatia is rather simple and it costs about 3.500 EUR (26.000 HRK) of which 2.500 EUR is basic capital that can be used afterwards. We offer full support in the process of founding and running a company.
In the Hanse Yachting World partnership model, the yacht is purchased and registered in the name of our charter company under a Croatian flag while you mortgage the yacht to secure your investment. After 5 and a half years, the ownership is transferred to you and you can register the yacht in your name.
When assuming ownership of the yacht you have to pay the 25% VAT on the yacht’s remaining value (market value or book value, as considered by the local tax authority, which is usually between 50% and 60% or the initial purchase price).
Sometimes the build year of the yacht is not that important – regardless of the yachts age, a properly maintained yacht is the only way to a satisfied charter guest and at the same time the key to a successful business process. Consequently, our professionally educated staff constantly supervises the condition of the yacht and its equipment. With regular services we act in advance in order to prevent any bigger malfunctions and to provide a safe and high quality vacation for charter guests. With continuous supervision and maintenance we ensure the longevity of your yacht and equipment as well as a higher price in charter and a higher market value when you decide to sell the yacht. The owner of the yacht has a permanent insight in maintenance processes and their cost – the yachts that we hold in our bases are the best evidence of the quality of service that we provide.
As an official Hanse representative we guarantee high-quality aftersales support with prompt processing of claims throughout warranty and after the warranty has passed. In fact we will make all the warranty claims for you to ensure the yacht is always in top condition.
All yachts in our charter fleet are covered with a full CASCO insurance policy. Damage repair costs are covered by the insurance policy or the charter client responsible for the damage. Repairs are done either by us as an official Hanse representative or a third party specialized service, depending on the nature of the necessary repairs.
The yacht is insured with a full CASCO insurance policy that covers all damage repairs and the loss of charter income from the first day of damage.
The full CASCO insurance policy covers the loss of charter income from the first day of damage.
In the Hanse Yachting World Ownership model you can use your yacht as much as you want but we recommend up to 4 weeks of usage per season, including 2 weeks in high season in order for the charter income to cover your financing, maintenance, berth and other expenses. You can also use your yacht whenever it is not booked for charter.
In the Hanse Yachting World Partnership model you can use the yacht for up to 4 weeks including 2 weeks in high season.
When using the owners’ week the owner is supposed to cover only the costs of yacht preparation and local taxes without paying the charter fee. Just call and book the vacation on the yacht – we will take care of everything else.
In a very good and fully functional condition. Of course, the result of chartering is a higher level of wear of the yacht, which can be taken care of with minimal investment and reconstruction. In any case, most of the charter yachts in our fleet are in better condition than many private yachts, due to the fact that they are constantly supervised and regularly maintained by professionals in our charter company.
In our experience, after 5 years in the Hanse Yachting World Charter Management program the yacht’s market value is roughly 65% of its initial purchase value. This is also one of the advantages when choosing a Hanse yacht, as it is a preferred private owners brand and there are not that many used Hanse yachts for sale in any particular moment, as is the case with other yacht brands suitable for charter
