2009 Hanse 540E for Sale $449000

This 2009 Hanse 540e BECHUE Offers a very unique opportunity to own a truly one of a kind fully update, outfitted and impeccably-maintained true bluewater cruiser, built by the world renowned Hanse yard in Greifswald, Germany.

The owner, a career naval architect, has poured his extensive training and significant knowledge as well as a lifetime

of bluewater racing and cruising experience (including one and a half circumnavigations) into BECHUE. Being the original owner, he was extensively involved in the original build process overseeing every detail, and since her launching in 2010, has continued to improve and update her along the way.

She's seen the far corners of our beautiful planet, now it's time for a new owner to take advantage of all she has to offer. She's unlike any other on the market - and well worth a close look by those interested in a truly capable and turn-key cruiser that offers performance and a proven cruising history second to none.
