Greenline Yachts had a major presence at the world’s largest in-water boat show, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, held from October 30th to Novembre 3rd. With no fewer than four of its innovative hybrid models on the water, it was a real showcase of the Slovenian yard’s capabilities. Specifically, visitors had the opportunity to admire the Greenline 39, the Greenline 40, the Greenline 45 Fly and the Greenline 48 Fly, along with the US premiere of the new 6G Hybrid system that is scheduled to become the standard of the whole range.
“Greenline Yachts is excited to be back in Fort Lauderdale, where it has enjoyed so much success in the past – said owner and CEO Vladimir Zinchenko – The American market has long appreciated the user-inspired features that make Greenline yachts so livable, not to mention the potential for silent electric operation. And this year, there is a stronger incentive than ever to join the Greenline family, as Washington state is waiving sales tax on new hybrid yachts. That could mean savings in excess of $100,000 for smart buyers”.
The 6G Hybrid System Revolution
Greenline Yachts has been a pioneer in hybrid marine technology since 2008, combining electric propulsion with conventional diesel power to maximize efficiency and minimize noise. At the heart of today’s lineup is the innovative 6G Hybrid Drive, part of a cutting-edge power management solution that seamlessly blends solar energy, shore power, and a diesel engine.
With the 6G H-Drive, Greenline boats can instantly switch between electric and diesel modes. In electric mode, you enjoy the serenity of near-silent cruising for up to 20 nautical miles – perfect for peaceful coastal journeys or quiet anchorages. For longer adventures or when higher speeds are required, the diesel engine efficiently powers the yacht while recharging the batteries, ensuring no energy goes to waste.
This system is available across Greenline’s entire range of yachts, from 39ft to 58ft, offering a more sustainable way of yachting. In fact, real world testing shows that the 6G H-Drive can reduce the carbon footprint of using a Greenline yacht by up to 40%. Whether you’re navigating in electric mode or relying on diesel for extended range, the system delivers an unmatched balance of efficiency and performance, making every voyage a responsible choice for the environment.
Greenline Yachts propulsion is unparalleled
“Greenline’s patented 6G H-Drive offers a significant advantage, especially when compared to the competition – said CCO Luca Raumland – But it’s not just about the hybrid system—since 2008, every Greenline yacht has come standard with our highly efficient diesel engines, a solar roof, and a lithium battery bank. This setup allows you to power all on-board appliances without ever needing a generator, making it as close to emissions-free as possible. The configuration is also ideal for regions where 24/7 air conditioning isn’t necessary, offering a quiet and eco-friendly experience. However, we noticed that many of our clients still preferred a backup generator, specially where air-condition is needed, so we knew we had to take things to the next level. To ensure our standard, non-hybrid Greenlines are also generator-free, we’ve spent the past year testing a solution that combines our hybrid battery technology with upgraded alternators. Today, we can confidently say that this setup eliminates the need for diesel generators—even for those who want to run air conditioning!
Starting in 2025, this will become the new standard across our entire fleet as part of our ongoing commitment to responsible yachting and reducing emissions in everyday operations”.
