## Hanse 588 — Sailing the Greek Islands The 588 is Hanse's full-size performance cruiser, developed alongside the yard's well-received 575 and built on the same philosophy: a genuinely quick hull matched to sailing systems simple enough to be worked without fuss. What sets this generation apart is the amount of interior and exterior detailing normally reserved for much larger, fully crewed yachts — proportions, finish and deck layout that read considerably above the size class. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins for up to ten guests: three cabins with double beds, plus a further cabin with a single bed. It is a configuration that suits a family group or two couples travelling together, with the flexibility to absorb an extra guest or two without reshuffling the whole yacht. Greece is the natural cruising ground here. A performance cruiser of this size rewards the Aegean's reliable summer breeze — long, fast passages between islands rather than motoring, then a quiet anchorage at the end of the afternoon. The Cyclades, the Saronic and the Ionian all sit within comfortable reach, and the yacht's draft and manoeuvrability open up the smaller harbours that heavier charter yachts tend to skip. Onboard, the crew handles the sailing, the provisioning and the daily routing, leaving the itinerary open to whatever the wind and your appetite for exploring suggest.
