German yacht-builder HanseYachts AG has formally transitioned ownership, with entrepreneur Andreas Müller becoming the majority shareholder alongside CEO Hanjo Runde. The deal wrapped up just three weeks after the initial Share Purchase Agreement—markedly ahead of schedule—thanks to coordination with financing partners, the state of Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern, and the works council.
