HanseYachts has its main manufacturing site in Greifswald and a subsidiary for hull production and pre-assembly in Goleniów, Poland. The production halls provide a total area of approximately 380,000 sq ft (Greifswald ca. 200,000 sq ft, Goleniów ca. 180,000 sq ft). In terms of units produced, HanseYachts is one of the three largest manufacturer of seagoing sailing yachts globally. Sailboats account for about 70 % of revenues, powerboats for about 30 %. The company is quoted on German .
HanseYachts is originated in an old-established shipyard for fishing cutters and other workboats located in Greifswald at the Baltic Sea Coast. The today’s company was founded in 1990 – after the fall of the Iron Curtain – by Michael Schmidt, the winner of the 1985 Admiral's Cup. The launch of the first model Hanse 291 (which based on the design of the Aphrodite 291) followed in 1993. In the years to come, the company successively extended the range upwards and grew rapidly. In 1999, HanseYachts and the yacht designers Judel/Vrolijk & Co started their still existing collaboration. In 2003, the range comprised eight models up to 53 ft. In 2007, HanseYachts AG went public (General Standard, Frankfurt). Founder Michael Schmidt remained majority shareholder.
