NEW HANSE 460 - AVAILABLE TO ORDER | NEXT-GENERATION 46FT PERFORMANCE CRUISER | EASY SAILING LUXURY
The Hanse 460 represents a bold new chapter for Hanse Yachts, combining radical modern design, impressive performance, and the brand's signature Easy Sailing concept in a truly next-generation 46-footer. Designed by the world-renowned Berret-Racoupeau studio, the 460 features a completely new hull shape with powerful chines, a performance-optimised waterline, twin helms, and exceptional stability and control underway.
Despite its performance credentials, the Hanse 460 remains effortless to sail shorthanded, with a clean deck layout, a self-tacking jib as standard, and sail controls designed to keep handling simple and safe. The result is a yacht that is fast, modern and exciting to sail - while still being comfortable, luxurious, and perfectly suited to relaxed cruising with family and friends.
The Hanse 460 is available to order, allowing buyers to tailor the build specification to suit their sailing plans - from an elegant harbour cruiser through to a fully optioned coastal cruiser with upgraded sail wardrobe, navigation suite, comfort systems, and premium deck packages.
The Hanse 460 is ideal for owners wanting:
- A modern yacht that is easy to sail shorthanded
- True cruising comfort without sacrificing performance
- A cockpit designed for entertaining and "Sydney lifestyle" boating
- A stable, capable platform for coastal passages
- A yacht that looks and feels like a much larger boat
Below deck, the Hanse 460 delivers a bright contemporary interior with large hull windows, modern finishes and clever layout design.
A wide range of layouts are available, including:
- 3-cabin / 2-head owner-focused layouts
- 4-cabin / 2-head configurations for families or high guest capacity
- Owner's forward cabin options with island berth and ensuite
- Flexible saloon configurations for extended cruising comfort
This is a yacht designed to feel open and luxurious - without losing practicality for real cruising.
The cockpit is a defining feature of the Hanse 460, designed to be:
- Clean and uncluttered
- Social and comfortable at anchor
- Efficient and safe under sail
With twin helms and wide walk-through access to the transom, the 460 delivers a true "beach club" feel when at anchor.
