Description

This 2016 Hanse 455 for sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely proven ocean cruiser that has successfully navigated some of the world's most demanding sailing grounds. "Jocale II" boasts an impressive pedigree with three Atlantic crossings under her keel, extensive Mediterranean cruising, and a complete Caribbean tour—all while maintaining exceptional condition thanks to three knowledgeable owners who invested over $20,000 in recent upgrades and meticulous maintenance.

Currently positioned in Annapolis, Maryland, this 45-foot performance cruiser showcases the perfect marriage of German engineering excellence and real-world sailing capability. The Judel/Vrolijk design delivers outstanding single-handed operation through thoughtfully led control lines to twin helm stations, while the 2016 Volvo D2-55 diesel with only 900 hours provides reliable auxiliary power. Her comprehensive electronics suite features dual B&G Zeus chartplotters, 4G radar, and Iridium satellite communication, ensuring confident navigation anywhere in the world.

What truly sets this vessel apart is her remarkable cruising infrastructure and recent systems overhaul. The boat features a completely rebuilt saildrive, refurbished watermaker, upgraded air conditioning system, and new Quick bow thruster—all completed in the past two years. Her energy independence comes from 400 watts of integrated solar panels feeding dual AGM house batteries, while the dual shore power system seamlessly handles both 230V European and 115V American electrical standards. The 2021 North sail inventory includes main, self-tacking jib, and furling Code 0, all protected by custom covers and lazy jack systems.

The accommodations blend comfort with practicality through a three-cabin, two-head layout featuring rich cherry joinery and full teak decking throughout. Her comprehensive cruising equipment includes a hard-bottom RIB with davits, complete offshore safety gear, watermaker, and even dual inflatable paddleboards. With US Coast Guard documentation allowing duty-free importation and never having served charter duty, "Jocale II" represents an exceptional value for discriminating sailors seeking a turnkey ocean cruiser ready for immediate worldwide adventures at $325,000.
