Greenline Yachts is set to make a splash at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October 30 – November 3) with an impressive lineup of four hybrid models showcased at G Dock 715-717. Each model highlights Greenline's pioneering 6G Hybrid Drive technology, featuring a large solar roof and achieving up to 40% lower CO2 emissions. Notably, starting in 2025, all Greenline yachts, whether equipped with hybrid or diesel propulsion, will operate without a diesel generator.

The showcased yachts, including the Greenline 39, Greenline 40, Greenline 45 Fly, and Greenline 48 Fly, represent the Slovenian shipyard's relentless commitment to sustainable yachting and advanced technology. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore different layouts, including sleek coupé designs and versatile flybridge options, exemplifying Greenline’s user-first philosophy.

"Greenline Yachts is thrilled to return to Fort Lauderdale, a region where we’ve seen considerable success," said owner and CEO Vladimir Zinchenko. "The American market appreciates our user-inspired features and the appeal of silent electric operation. With Washington state waiving sales tax on new hybrid yachts, there’s never been a better time to join the Greenline family and potentially save over $100,000."
At the heart of Greenline’s offerings is the revolutionary 6G Hybrid Drive, which integrates electric propulsion with conventional diesel systems to optimize efficiency and minimize noise. This system allows for seamless transitions between electric and diesel modes, providing nearly silent cruising for up to 20 nautical miles in electric mode. The diesel engine, meanwhile, serves to recharge the batteries during longer journeys, maximizing energy use and minimizing waste.
Greenline's 6G H-Drive is available across its entire range, which spans from 39 to 58 feet, and is designed for environmentally conscious boating. Testing indicates that this innovative system can reduce the carbon footprint of a Greenline yacht by up to 40%. This hybrid setup, combined with solar roofs and a lithium battery bank, enables yacht owners to power their onboard appliances without the need for a generator—making it a nearly emissions-free option.

“The 6G H-Drive gives us a competitive edge, but it's not just the hybrid technology,” noted CCO Luca Raumland. “Every Greenline yacht has always included efficient diesel engines, solar roofs, and lithium battery banks, creating a setup that's ideal for regions without constant air conditioning needs. Recognizing that some clients still prefer a backup generator, we've been working to eliminate the need for one entirely. Beginning in 2025, even our non-hybrid models will operate generator-free, ensuring a commitment to eco-friendly yachting.”
The yachts on display at FLIBS 2024 promise a sophisticated blend of spacious design, panoramic views, and indoor-outdoor connectivity.
