2023 Hanse 348

Step aboard the 2023 Hanse 348 and the first thing you notice is how clean and uncluttered the deck feels. All the lines are led aft, so you can trim from the safety of the cockpit instead of scrambling forward. Twin wheels give you a clear view of the telltales and an easy path to the fold-down swim platform when it’s time for a dip. The self-tacking jib turns short-handed tacks into a one-finger job, leaving you free to enjoy the ride. Down below, the L-shaped galley is secure underway and surprisingly generous for a 34-footer, with smart storage and proper counter space for real meals, not just sandwiches.

In these waters, conditions can shift quickly from light breeze to punchy gusts, and the Hanse 348 is built for that variety. The balanced hull and deep, efficient keel give you reassuring grip and predictable handling when a squall rolls through, while the generous sail area keeps you moving on those lazy summer afternoons. Shoal-draft options make it easier to explore quieter anchorages and slip into shallower berths. With its bright, ventilated interior and comfortable cabins, it works equally well as a weekend escape or a compact cruiser for longer coastal hops, making the most of local marinas, bays, and island chains.
