El Grande | Hanse 508 sailboat rental

The Hanse 508 El Grande is a 2019 sailboat built by Hanse Yachts, measuring 15.55 m (51 ft) in length overall with a draft of 2.4 m (8 ft). Based at New Marina on the island of Rhodes in Greece, this Hanse 508 is available for both bareboat and skippered charters. Due to her 15.55 m (51 ft) length, she provides extra space on board compared with smaller monohulls. Her layout accommodates up to 11 people across five cabins and one crew cabin, served by three heads with electric toilets.

Under sail, El Grande is equipped with a full batten mainsail and wheel steering, alongside an autopilot to assist the helm on longer passages. Close-quarters handling and harbor docking are aided by her single engine and a bow thruster. To support battery health and extend time between port calls when staying at anchor, the vessel is fitted with solar panels. She also features a bathing platform at the stern, providing direct access to the sea for swimming.

With her cabin layout and practical deck equipment, the sailboat is well configured for exploring the Dodecanese coastline and surrounding islands. She is operated and managed by the charter company Istion Yachting.
