Greenline 33 to 39 Review

1. What originally drew you to the Greenline brand and the Greenline 33?

When we decided that it was time to move on from our Elan 37 yacht, Ann saw the 33 in a magazine and then looked on the internet  – she liked the open, functional, modern interior, and that it was not a typical ‘tupperware’ type of powerboat. Our son, Christopher, knew Peter Hrones and organised a demonstration and then we were sold.

2. Are there any key highlights moments you had on board the 33?

We spent 5 nights aboard whilst travelling the Hawkesbury as far as Windsor, other nights in Smiths creek. Day trips with family and friends on Brisbane Water and Cowan Creek.

3. What triggered you to make the change to the 39?

The 33 had the Hybrid Drive. I preferred to have straight diesel propulsion with the benefit of solar charging 240v electrical system. We can leave on our jetty without attaching shore power whilst running the fridge.

4. What are the key differences you like about the 39 and are you happy with the change?

We are very happy with change to 39!

• Larger volume which is better for friends and family.
• Lounge is adjacent to the helm.
• Second cabin.
• Separate shower.
• Induction cooktop.
• Helm sidewalk door.
• Bow and stern thrusters make easy to manoeuvre.
• No hybrid drive.
• Engine space accessible without having to remove table.
• Larger displacement helps make much more sea friendly in messy conditions.
• Anchoring from bow centreline.

5. What is your favourite thing about the Greenline 39?

Great liveability on the water.

6. What have you done on the boat so far?

We spent 2 weeks aboard on Sydney Harbour over the Christmas/New Year period with nights in Bantry Bay, Sugarloaf Bay, Balls Head Bay and Cabarita. Several trips with 3-4 nights in Castle Lagoon, Yeomans Bay and Smiths Creek.

7. What is a highlight so far?

After overnighting in Yeomans Bay one of our sons (Christopher)  and his family (Kim, Logan and Hugo) met us in their RIB and spent a lovely day aboard. Plenty of space and easy access to the water with the lowering transom.

8. What would you like to do in the near future?

Spend nights in Smiths Creek when it is quiet. Trip up the Hawkesbury to Windsor with nights in the Colo River and perhaps the Macdonald River. Venture further afield to Lake Macquarie and Myall Lakes.

Does Hybrid Work? Greenline Hybrid Owner Testimonial

“The hybrid system worked well. The solar panel set up is huge and catered for everything we needed and for the 7 years we owned the boat we never felt the need for a generator. We always appreciated the backup from Eyachts and we have purchased other boats from them since then and experienced the same support.” – Jon Fleming, Greenline 40 Owner.

Ebrokerage Greenline 33 Review by Cres James

“Dianna and I wish to say a very big thank you for your generous gift. We will enjoy the Moët on board… I would also like to express my thanks for your assistance, advice and guidance during the purchase and insurance process as well as to all your staff. It was an absolute pleasure to conduct business with you and all at Eyachts (Ebrokerage).”

Greenline 39 Review – Tasmania

“I have no hesitation in recommending Eyachts. I have recently purchased a Greenline 39 and the sales experience and after sales service have been exceptional. The level of communication is well above that which I expected. The boat itself is incredible; it handles...

Going Green: The Greenline 39

• By Kevin Koenig
• Updated: September 22, 2017

I have to be honest: I’m not overly familiar with Slovenia. The small, former Eastern Bloc nation is sandwiched between the yachting mainstays of Italy and Croatia, and, I’d guess, is a bit of an afterthought for most Americans — if they even think of it at all. I’m also not overly familiar with Slovenian-built boats. To my recollection, I’d never been on one before I stepped aboard the Greenline 39 on Fort Lauderdale’s New River. Though after my sea trial, I’ve decided to familiarize myself more thoroughly going forward.

The Speed of Light

The 39 comes in two models: ­Hybrid and Solar. Both are impressive for their unorthodox design attributes. Greenline, if you couldn’t tell from the name, builds powerboats with small ecological footprints. As such, each boat has four solar panels atop the salon that can power all systems on board for three hours in the case of the Solar, or power the Hybrid’s 220 hp Volvo Penta D3 with a Mahle electric drive system. My 39 Solar test boat had the all-diesel 370 hp Yanmar V-8 diesel option, which is de rigueur for boaters with more traditional outlooks on power. Regardless of the engines, Greenline’s vessels have become popular among former sailors. That’s in large part owed to the boat’s ecologically conscious focus, but I would wager the elegant simplicity of the 39’s layout plays a role as well.

Flat-Out Cool

The boat has a nice sense of open space in her interior, making it the best eco-friendly pocket cruiser . From the scissor berths in the forepeak master, one can see all the way out to the cockpit. The stateroom has lots of natural light granted by windows that wrap around the space (the windows also help to make the boat’s profile more visually sleek). A flip-up window just abaft the galley allows service to the cockpit while fusing that area with the salon. Further, the stitching on the soft goods throughout is exemplary.

Feel the Flow

One thing that shows the level of forethought put into the boat is her side-deck layout. The decks are asymmetrical. To make the salon as large as the builder wanted, neither side deck would be wide enough to use comfortably. So Greenline essentially sacrificed the port side deck and made it very narrow, giving the remaining space to the starboard side deck, which is more than one and a half times wider in certain places. That way, there is a navigable passageway from the boat’s after section up to its bow deck.

Compromise isn’t always easy, but one is better than none. And attention to detail like that seen on the ­Greenline 39 is greatly appreciated, no matter where in the world you are from.

New Greenline 40 Hybrid: A Cruiser’s Boat

The new Greenline 40 Hybrid is a cruiser’s boat. It’s user-friendly, easily handled by two people, but not too big to be overwhelming. And it has a state-of-the-art hybrid power system, delivering 22-knot speeds under twin Volvo diesel power, while also providing silent running at 11 knots under solar-electric power.

The two staterooms and one head make it large enough to hold a family, or another couple, on an extended cruise, and its bridge clearance of just 12’ 2 inches are meant to slide under those structures on the Great Loop or the Intracoastal Waterway in the Southeast.

Greenline started making electric-powered boats back in 2008; it was a pioneer in what is now a rapidly growing field. The Slovenian builder now has a fleet ranging from 33 to 68 feet. The 40 Hybrid is on display at the Miami show.

The 40 has an array of solar panels on the coachroof. You can see how the hybrid system works in the video below. But the solar array and batteries essentially make the 40 a mobile power station, providing a constant supply of AC power on board.

The boat has twin 50kW electric motors producing the 11-knot top speed under electric power alone. The boat is quiet at that speed; the only noise is a slight hum. Under electric power it has a range of 30 nm, enough to explore one anchorage and move on to the next one; an optional extender increases that to 75 nm at 5 knots.

The Greenline 40 Hybrid is an efficient boat, with a light, semi-displacement hull designed to produce less drag and easy boat handling in various sea conditions. It comes with a standard bow thruster to help with docking.

Below, the two beds in the master stateroom in the bow can be pushed together, while there are two separate beds in the guest stateroom a bit aft on the port side.

Specs.: LOA: 39’4”; Beam: 13’1”; Draft: 2’9”; Disp.: 17,640 lbs.; Fuel: 185 gals.; Water: 105 gals.; Power: 2×220-hp Volvo D3s. Read more at   https://greenlinehybridnw.com/greenline-yachts-for-sale/greenline-40-hybrid-yacht/   and see the video below:

Greenline Yachts: The Complete Guide to Greenline Yachts

Last Updated on April 14, 2022 by Boatsetter Team

Green by name, green by nature.

A relatively new entry to the boating industry, Greenline Yachts has revolutionized yachting with a range of innovative and environmentally friendly features. This is boating that does not cost the earth.

The History of Greenline Yachts

Greenline Yachts was launched in 2008. As all great ideas do, they began life on the drawing board. Greenline yachts became a bestseller just one year later, selling more than 550 units of their Greenline 33 in over 28 countries. Its dedicated team of engineers and designers had built a safe, comfortable, and elegant boat.

But it did not stop there. In 2010, just two years after their launch, Greenline’s maiden production, the Greenline 33, became an international bestseller. New boats followed rapidly in 2011, 2013, 2016.

In 2019, the Greenline 48 Coupe premiered in Dusseldorf, Germany, where it amazed onlookers. Since then, the company has grown and continued to innovate, inspire and raise the bar. Who knows what the future holds for this firebrand?

The features of a Greenline Yacht.

Innovation. Innovation. Innovation. Ever since their introduction of the first-ever hybrid boat, which combined diesel and electricity, in 2008, Greenline has revolutionized the boating industry. They have set the bar as a pioneering, forward -thinking, and game-changing boatbuilder. Their vision is to shape the future of boating into environmentally sustainable and, in doing so, establish themselves as the most responsible boat brand in the world.

The designers at Greenline know that their customers want to be at one with the ocean. They want to plunge themselves into the big blue, explore it, conquer it, all without leaving a trace, preserving it for future generations to enjoy too. With their expansive range of hybrid and fully electric boats , this dream is made a reality.

Each model is powered by renewable sources of energy and fitted with solar panels, so it won’t be only the passengers who are soaking up the rays! Greenline yachts use organic boat wash and biodegradable rubbish bags, as well as being built of eco-friendly fabrics, such as PET foam core, grass paper, and recycled materials.

But this is at no sacrifice to speed or performance. Greenline Yachts boasts a range of innovative technological features that will ensure you stay top of the pack. Greenline Yachts are the only range of yachts currently in production that offers H-Drive as well as E-Drive; they have built-in vacuum infusion technology. In contrast to conventional yachts, this means that their boats have optimal weight and robustness, higher quality of material, alongside being kind to the environment.  

Low centers of gravity ensure that the utmost levels of safety and comfort are maintained on and below the deck . This comes from Greenline’s technical mastery in placing all the heavy components of the boat in the deepest part of the hull , which renders the vessel more impervious to rolling and increases stability – even in the choppiest of waters!

Of course, all Greenline models are built to a highly sophisticated level. They harness the best of modern technology, especially in tooling and prototyping, and the inherited wisdom of the past in handcrafting to build arguably some of the world’s most advanced boats. Tradition and experience blended seamlessly with the cutting-edge and futuristic.

The Greenline Range

Here at  Boatsetter , we are proud to offer a range of Greenline Yachts for rental. In fact, they are a key part of our  new ecological and green  boating rentals.

Despite its age, Greenline Yachts flaunts an impressive product range in the world, with nearly 8 models currently on the waves (although more are in the pipeline). There is the entry-level Greenline 33 Flybridge series up to the 68 OC. The 33, 39, 40, 45 Coupe, 45 Fly, 48 Coupe, 48 Fly, and the 68 OC.

Thanks to Boatsetter’s  peer-to-peer  boat renting service, sampling one of these beauties has never been easier. Rentals typically come with a knowledgeable captain and crew to guide you on an exciting yacht charter adventure. Boatsetter has Greenline Yachts which are available from multiple sites across the United States, Europe, and beyond. Many of Boatsetter’s rentals offer the opportunity to enhance your experience with jet skis, electronic surfboards, and sea bobs. Time to hit the waves.   

The Greenline 33   

Where it all began.

 Measuring in at 32’9″ (9.99m), the Greenline 33 is a splendid yacht containing 1 salon (plus an optional bunk ), 7 berths and 1 bathroom. It has a fuel capacity of 132 gal (500L) and can hold 80 gal of freshwater (300L).

The Greenline 33 has a hybrid and electric drive and conventional diesel options, true to their pioneering spirit. Its Volvo Penta D3 can deliver speeds of up to 11 knots and 170 HP. Their decade of experience in hybrid engines means that this is the ideal system for performance and efficiency while ensuring that your passengers remain comfortable on the deck.

A signature feature of the Greenline 33 is its Aft Galley , which combines the cockpit and galley into a fabulous and inviting social area. There is no single step between the bathing platform and the helmsman position to ensure one level of living throughout the boat.

And with 360-degree panoramic views from the inside, natural light will delight your senses!

The Greenline 39

The big brother of the 33, the Greenline 39 is beefy with a beam of 12’4″ and accommodation for up to six people. Friends, family or business colleagues, you name it, you can bring them. Wishing to lavish your passengers in comfort and grace, the designers at Greenline have fitted the 39 with a bank of solar panels, which you can use for all the boat’s appliances, whether you are at sea or having a drink at the port . Even better, this means that the boat does not make a sound. No noise. No vibrations. No emissions. No disturbances. Nothing. Just you …

And the seagulls.

The 39 has high-performance LiPo Batteries 2 x 13.3 kWh in its hybrid edition, which have a charging rate of 8 kWh/day. Depending on your energy management and the weather conditions, this translates as 2 days on anchor, while using the full range of appliances that a family needs, including laptops, TVs, fridge and stove. Still, the non-hybrid is built with efficiency in mind. It consumes approximately 6.5 kWh/day for 4 people in a 24 hour period.

Looking at the exterior of the yacht, the cockpit and side decks are sheltered to afford your passengers maximum security and protection so that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy the weather. Plus, the Helmstand side door provides safe maneuvering throughout the boat.

The Greenline 40

The family favorite.

Biggest of all, the series provides the perfect venue for you to sit back with your family and enjoy. No work. No-fuss. Just sheer relaxation and comfort. With 2 cabins, a large salon, and a maximum of 6 berths, the Green 40 can cater to families of all shapes and sizes. And with a fuel capacity of 185 gal (700L) and water tank of 106 400L, there is no need to worry about running dry.

The Greenline 40 enjoys all of the Green technologies that makes Greenline so, well, green. It has 4 high performance LiPo batteries that allow the whole family to stay connected and entertained for 3 days on anchor. For those with more restrained usage, this can be more. Nonetheless, available as a diesel, electric or hybrid drive. This is a boat with green credentials.

For when the sun is dipping below the waves and it is time to relax, the Greenline 40 has an adaptive owners cabin , which supports a multiplicity of sleeping arrangements.

The Greenline 45 Coupe

Say hello to the ocean’s solar power plant.

Available as a Diesel Drive, Hybrid Drive or Electric Drive, the Greenline 45 can accommodate up to eight people with 2 or 3 spacious cabins, depending on customisation, and has two bathrooms. One of these cabins – yes, you guessed it, the master cabin – is full beam, meaning it is nearly 5 metres wide. What a treat. Its diesel tank has a large capacity of 396 gal (1,450L) and 159 gal (600) of freshwater, besides plenty of black water for whatever your needs.

Get ready to impress your guests with the homely natural wood table in the salon, and walk-in closet, and walk-in wardrobe for both cabins. Let the fashion shows commence.

But the Greenline 45 Coupe does not stop there. Like the previous models, it has EDrive technology. Built-in partnership with Torqeedo, this revolutionary technology provides silent, emission free propulsion along the waves, and integrated energy manages to run the boat’s domestic supply efficiently and ecologically. This is complemented by SIMRAD Navigation Electronics , complete with an extra-large navigation dashboard for your viewing pleasure. 

Enough of the tech stuff. There is also a hydraulic bathing platform which can be raised or lowered to ensure easy, safe access to the waves.

The Greenline 48 Fly

Independence at its finest

On the outside this boat is unmistakable. It will turn heads at the port. Thanks to its smartly designed covered sidewalks, the flybridge on the yacht is extra-large. It is wider than most of the other boats in its class. =

Greenline knows that a holiday should be relaxation par excellence. This is why they have developed extra wide and protected side passages, with side doors that aid speedy jumping on and off the ship, and an extra protective hardtop option that is enriched with additional solar panels. While the traditional side anchor is standard, Green also offers the option for a boat anchor.

Full-sized freezer? Check. Wine cooler? Check. Extra-large owner bed? Check. The convertible salon of the Greenline 48 Fly, with an adjustable table, offers the opportunity to transform the main dining area into extra berths for when your guests want to hit the hay.

Below deck, the Greenline 48 Fly has 2 x Yanmar 8LV320 engines that generate speeds up to 20 knots and have 320 HP each. This will allow you to cruise at the perfect pace. There are 3, optionally 4, cabins and a maximum of 6 berths, 2 in the salon, and another. Besides, there are 3 bathrooms.

Still curious? Watch the renowned yachting critic  Boat Test  try one out.

The Greenline 68 Ocean Class

The extraordinary just got even more extraordinary.

The biggest yacht ever made by Greenline, the 68 Ocean Class is a force to be reckoned with. This yacht demonstrated to the world that the shipyard was knocking its boat, building up a gear. Read the  reviews  here!

If you want luxury, that remains environmentally sound, then look no further than the flagship of the Greenline Yachts family: the 68 Ocean Class. 

Taking the open-plan to the next level, the world-class yacht has Greenline’s signature Aft Galley, which combines the cockpit and galley in a magnificent space for socializing. During the daytime, the whole interior of the boat is flooded with natural light due to the 360-degree panoramic windows. And for when the sunsets (or is high in the sky), there is an expansive wine cooler in which you can stow away your favorite bottle – or two.

Alongside providing extra protection to the craft, the 68 Ocean Class has a hardtop on the flybridge, which coincidentally creates an excellent diving platform. Ready to impress your crush? Just make sure that the water is deep enough.

68′ 3″ in length and with a 17′ 11″ beam, this behemoth will dominate any port or harbor. Or, if you fancy getting away from it all, the boat would be the perfect companion for you to visit your favorite coastline. Italy, Miami , or the Bahamas – you decide. 

Boatsetter empowers people to explore with confidence by showing them a world of possibility on the water. Rent  a boat,  list  your boat, or become a  Boatsetter captain  today.

Review: Greenline 40 Hybrid Yacht

Overview of Greenline 40 Hybrid Yacht

Forty feet is a sweet spot, size-wise, when considering yachts. Yachts in this category are large enough to accommodate a small group of cruising adventurers and substantial enough to provide a level of assurance in poor weather. At the same time, finding moorage is less of a challenge and the costs of acquisition and ownership are more easily afforded than those associated with larger vessels. One can tell a lot about a yacht builder by taking a hard look at their vessels at or around the 40-foot class. To that end, Greenline’s 40-foot hybrid yacht is more than a worthy representative of a well-established, forward-looking company committed to building premium quality products as well as enabling environmentally responsible yachting. The Greenline 40 is setting a high bar for the entire industry. Continue reading for a full review of the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht.

(Click on image to enlarge it)

Review of Greenline 40 Hybrid Yacht: On The Deck

Boarding the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht is accomplished through boarding doors on both the port and starboard sides of the cockpit. An extension of the hardtop above the cockpit provides a measure of protection from the elements, and coupled with the generous dimensions of the area the cockpit will surely become a major entertainment area. There are built in aft corner seats both port and starboard. The port corner seat provides storage, while the starboard seat covers the shore power connections. The transom, brilliantly, folds down to provide a useful deck when boarding or debarking a dinghy. A transom seat is optionally available to provide both fore and aft facing seating, while still permitting access to the dinghy deck.

Greenline incorporates abundant stowage throughout the vessel. There’s enough room under the cockpit of the Greenline 40 hybrid to stow a (foldable) rigid bottom inflatable.

The aft bulkhead of the main cabin may be folded up to eliminate any barrier between the cockpit and the galley. A fold out extension of the galley countertop creates an ideal place for serving food and beverages aft, and the cook or bartender is included in the conversation and celebration.

Side decks on the Greenline 40 hybrid are a walk-around design, with access from the cockpit to the foredeck available both port and starboard. The aft portions of the side decks are covered by the overhanging hardtop, providing a dry space for deckhands during wet weather. Nonskid decking is standard, with teak available as an option. Stainless steel rails atop the bulwarks provide just under three feet of security and protection above the deck when transitioning forward. Overhead and lateral grab rails are thoughtfully positioned. Stainless rails on the foredeck and the raised toe rail establish about 30-inches of safety.

Foredeck features include a built-in sunlounge, with drink holders and a custom bimini top deployable when there’s simply too much sun. Greenline thoughtfully designed the bimini top so that it doesn’t block the vision forward from the helm while in use. Ground tackle includes an anchor on the port side of the stem, with a winch and chain locker accessible through hatches.

Interior Review of the Greenline 40 Hybrid Yacht

There’s a side door next to the lower helm, (essential to provide the skipper quick access to the deck when docking, etc.). However, nearly everyone going aboard the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht will enter the main cabin through the aft bulkhead door conveniently located only steps away from the boarding doors in the cockpit.

Upon entering the main cabin, the galley is situated most aft. A solid surface countertop, molded-in sink, convection cooktop, and microwave oven are oriented to port. A “full size” refrigerator with a separate freezer compartment is opposite the walkway to starboard. Joinery throughout the vessel (teak and other hardwood choices available) is precisely fit and impressively finished. Lockers and drawers are abundant as well as conveniently located and thoughtfully designed in the galley area of the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht .

The salon is characterized by plenty of headroom as well as large windows on both sides. The dinette area is forward of the galley, large enough to “convert” to an additional bunk if required. There is stowage below the settee, and upholstery options include both vinyl and leather. The lines of the vessel permit great visibility from the salon, even when seated.

Additional counter space, along with a beverage locker and other stowage, runs along the starboard side of the salon. An electric lift raises a flat screen TV when desired and lowers it out of sight at other times.

The helm is in the starboard forequarter of the main cabin, with a sunroof feature introducing additional light. The sunroof is additionally positioned above a sliding panel over a portion of the guest stateroom, so when light and air is desired in the guest stateroom but privacy isn’t important the guest stateroom can be very well illuminated.

The Greenline 40 hybrid yacht is a two-stateroom design. The master stateroom is most forward, with a “scissors” style berth. Two single berths pivot from the head to be several feet apart at the base, or they may be pushed together and create a combined queen size mattress. Two hanging lockers, two portlights, stowage shelving, and a wall mounted flatscreen TV are among the amenities in the master stateroom.

The master stateroom enjoys private access to the head, which includes a dedicated shower stall. An additional doorway to the head facilitates “day head” functionality. The additional doorway is immediately across the companionway from the entrance to the guest stateroom.

Two single bunks in the guest stateroom slide together when desired to create a queen size berth. Conveniences include a hanging locker, one port light, several stowage areas, a built-in seat, as well as the afore-mentioned sliding panel that will introduce additional fresh air and light.

Hybrid Drive System Review

Most people are familiar with the concept of hybrid cars and trucks, and the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht is designed around most of those same principles. Propulsion at low speeds is provided by electric motors, with diesel engines coming online to power the vessel at higher speeds. The concept reduces fuel consumption and helps minimize emissions. Single as well as twin engine designs are available.

In application, the Greenline hybrid system uses electric drive motors, mounted on the shaft just aft of the diesel engine(s). At lower speeds, the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht glides along on electric power alone- in almost total silence. When cruising through a “no wake zone” or enjoying a sunset trip around the harbor- there’s no need to engage the diesel engines at all. Electric-only range is up to about 20 nautical miles, depending upon wind, current, and other variables.

When more speed is desired and the throttle is advanced, diesel propulsion engages. When the diesels begin turning the drive shaft, the electric drive motors automatically convert to generators and recharge the battery banks. The batteries also recharge when connected to shore power, and through a system of solar voltaic panels affixed to the cabin top of the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht.

The solar panels are so efficient that owners of Greenline 40 hybrid yachts can stay at anchor for extended periods without depleting the batteries. The panels provide enough power to sustain the typical “house” loads aboard a 40-foot yacht. Most Greenline 40 hybrid yachts are ordered without an auxiliary generator- freeing up additional stowage space below decks.

Unique Benefits of Owning a Greenline 40 Hybrid Yacht

Greenline hybrid yacht owners enjoy unique experiences not available to others who own yachts that are exclusively petroleum powered.

The nearly silent slow-speed operation creates a more relaxing atmosphere.

Equipped with both diesel and electric power , Greenline hybrid yachts offer exceptional redundancy and provide a greater number of options in case of breakdown or malfunction.

Fewer engine hours can extend various service intervals, reducing maintenance costs. Lower engine hours typically enhance eventual resale values, reducing the cost of ownership.

Solar recharging normally eliminates any need for an auxiliary generator, with no requirement to “run the gen set” and disrupt the tranquility of a wilderness anchorage.

Batteries recharged by sunlight are among the “greenest” sources of energy available. Owners of Greenline hybrid yachts can enjoy the satisfaction of being more environmentally responsible.

Not to be overlooked, it’s not always easy to predict the pricing of fuel in the future- but few would disagree that the general trend will continue upward. Reducing the amount of fuel required to operate a yacht frees up cash for other uses.

With stylish lines, innovative design, exceptional systems and materials choices and top caliber workmanship the Greenline 40 hybrid yacht would be a commendable vessel even if it were not a hybrid yacht. Adding the hybrid factor to this outstanding yacht moves it clearly into a class of its own, providing unique ownership benefits as well as taking far less toll on the environment.

Greenline has been producing hybrid yachts since 2008. Several hundred have been delivered to happy owners all around the world, making Greenline not only the unchallenged leader in hybrid yacht production, but also positioning Greenline among the higher volume builders of any type of yacht in a similar size range.

While other builders are still “figuring it out” or experimenting with what they consider a “new concept”, Greenline is quietly relying on their fifteen years of expertise as a founder of the hybrid yacht category to deliver an exceptional product and a unique ownership experience.

Greenline 40 Testimonial by The Flemings

The Fleming’s have now owned their Greenline 40 for 7 years, and they absolutely love the boat. Jon first became aware of Greenline as a brand around 2011. European boating magazines were writing about the Greenline when their first model (a 33 footer) started winning “boat of the show” at most European boat shows at the time. Jon contacted us, wanting to undergo a test run our Greenline 33, and had his first experience in that boat on Middle Harbour At that time, Jon and his wife owned a 42 ft Herreschoff Leeboard Ketch which they sailed in Sydney and Pittwater. They later relocated to the Gold Coast and sailed her up to join them, going as far north as the Whitsundays. They had owned her for 14 years, but were beginning to think ‘power craft’. The Greenline 33 was impressive, but once Greenline began to talk about a new 40 ft, twin engine version they were developing. Eventually the Fleming’s decided that this new boat would better suit them and their plans to do extended cruising. So, at the Sydney boatshow in 2012 they signed up with eYachts and haven’t regretted it!

Barcodoro of Netherlands

We fell in love with the greenline 40 immediately. My wife wanted it so badly, and also bought it through a broker in Portugal. we had it transported by road to the Netherlands. We have now sailed with it for a season and are so happy with it, the space and ease of use. Wow what a boat. We call him the "Barcodoro" There are videos of us on Youtube. And many more to follow.

Jack Haines takes the sporty, yet fuel-efficient Greenline NEO for an exhilarating test drive in the Solent

Having not been in the cockpit of a fighter jet during a full lock turn I can’t say for sure what it feels like but it can’t be that dissimilar from doing the same aboard the Greenline NEO.

Under instruction from our snapper Richard to “crank it hard over”, the sea looms up close enough for me to lean over and dip my hand in it as I pin the throttles and flick the wheel hard to starboard.

We are in a near deserted Solent on a warm spring day and the Greenline NEO is in its element. On the cruise over from the Hamble we clocked a comfortable 40 knots and at 25 knots the engines melt into the background, draining petrol from the tank at a rate of around 90 litres per hour.

There’s no penalty for dialing up the speed either, in fact the optimum range and fuel efficiency comes at 5,000rpm and 32 knots, a speed at which the boat feels happy to cruise courtesy of the twin 250hp Mercury V8s.

You can upgrade to twin 300hp V8s but they’re not a must-have, the 250s – on this boat with a heavy spec including the hi-lo platform – feel perfectly punchy and strike a good balance between performance and economy.

There are smaller engine options too and you might just get away with the twin 200s on the Open version, but the twin 150s are unlikely to be that appealing on the used boat market a few years down the line.

The Greenline 39 Hybrid represents a fresh start for the Slovenian yard, we put it to the test - hybrid

This being a Greenline there is a more eco-friendly version with a pair of Torqeedo Deep Blue 80 outboards and two 40kw/h batteries from a BMW i8 but its eye-wateringly expensive (approximately £85,000) and gives a mere 20nm of range at 6 knots.

The NEO is an easy boat to drive quickly because it’s natural running attitude is so neutral and any stress of trimming correctly is handled by the excellent Zipwake system, a £3,100 option that is well worth adding. Set the stabilisation system to auto and the interceptors will react in seconds to keep the boat as evenly poised as possible.

The steering is quite heavy and feels a little cumbersome at displacement speeds but that weightiness is welcome as the velocity increases and you don’t constantly have to make tiny adjustments to the wheel.

The fighter jet-like leaning takes some getting used to at first but once you find the extremes of the turn it soon becomes clear that though the heel is alarming the amount of grip is resolute. The stern doesn’t slide an inch under hard cornering and even when we were pulling some properly silly manouevres for the camera the hull didn’t feel like it had a tendency to skip or catch.

It’s enormously good fun but it feels safe and accessible. Solid, too, with that hard top overhead, a walk-through windscreen and a table in the bow cockpit I expected there to be a fair amount of rattle and shake coming off waves but the boat feels reassuringly rigid. It was a calm day but we took some heavy landings off the wake of our 45ft chase boat and the hull stood firm.

Greenline has clearly thought about the little touches at the helm and there are numerous highlights that make driving the NEO that bit more pleasurable. The driving position itself is set good and high so there is an excellent view all round.

The three identical forward facing seats are well padded and body-hugging but comfortable for longer stints and all three have lift up bolsters giving the option to stand and lean. Frankly, the seated position is so comfortable you won’t need to stand unless it really kicks up.

The Hardtop version we have on test has a great combination of shelter and exposure, the roof overhead giving way to completely open sides so there is ample ventilation and a connection to the water that the fully enclosed Coupe version can’t match.

It’s a shame that there isn’t a sunroof or even some opening hatches but this would mean shrinking the size of the standard solar panels on the roof. No, Greenline hasn’t completely abandoned its hybrid pretensions and the panels mean that, when teamed with the standard inverter, you can run the fridge, grill and 240V sockets without needing a generator.
