Greenline Yachts Leads the Way Not Only on Hybrid Propulsion at FLIBS 2024
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. Greenline 40The 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 39"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.Greenline 45 Fly“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.Greenline 48 FlyHighlights include:Greenline 39 Accommodates up to six people with two spacious cabins, a bright salon, and a well-equipped galley, generating up to 1.1 kW through solar panels.Greenline 40 Features an open layout with two cabins and a maximum solar output of 1.98 kW from six solar panels.Greenline 45 Fly Redefines comfort with a midship owner's cabin, VIP guest cabin, and multiple layout options, producing up to 1.6 kW of solar charge.Greenline 48 Fly Sleeps up to nine with three to four cabins and offers exceptional convenience for longer journeys, generating a maximum of 1.6 kW via solar panels.Greenline Yachts are crafted in Slovenia within the European Union. The shipyard adheres to the highest European quality standards and reduces environmental footprint, prioritizes the use of local materials and expertise. The craftsmanship is rooted in more than 50 years of experience in composite boatbuilding. Credits: Greenline Yachts

Interior enhancements made in 2024 included new woven carpets, cushion fabrics, and upgraded fresh water pipework. Extensive maintenance has also been performed on her generators, main engines, stabilizers, and water tanks, ensuring her readiness for upcoming voyages.Designed by Tim Heywood, Driftwood is perfect for adventure, offering ample toy storage and a spacious swim platform ideal for activities such as surfing, kiting, and various water sports. The entire exterior layout encourages al fresco enjoyment, whether savoring a glass of champagne at the sundeck bar or enjoying more intimate evenings around the upper deck firepit tables.

65m Aqaurius Launched by Royal Huisman
Royal Huisman announces the launch of the modern classic 65m Aqaurius, which has been undergoing detailed outfitting and extensive testing since her hull was completed in March of last year. This performance ketch serves as the successor to the first Aquarius (now Apsara), delivered by Royal Huisman in 2018. The earlier 56m world-cruising ketch was hailed as "close to perfect" by her experienced owners – a husband-and-wife duo who desired a larger yacht with even more impressive sailing capabilities – leading to the creation of the stunning new big sister, Aquarius.It speaks volumes when owners cherish their yacht so much that their sole request is for a larger version crafted by the same skilled team. The talented minds behind both Aquarius yachts, described by an independent observer as among the most experienced in the superyacht industry, include project manager Godfrey Cray, Dykstra Naval Architects, interior designer Mark Whiteley, and the renowned builder Royal Huisman.As the evolution of the original Aquarius (now Apsara), this project embodies Royal Huisman’s commitment to creating fully custom superyachts. While maintaining the elegant essence of her predecessor, Aquarius boasts a remarkable 45% increase in volume, featuring expanded social and crew areas, enhanced integrated sail-handling systems, and a lifting fin keel for optimal performance. The vessel blends timeless style with cutting-edge technology and superior craftsmanship.A crucial aspect of this project is the application of insights gained from the original Aquarius and prior builds. Royal Huisman continually pushes the boundaries of innovation while refining their processes based on extensive experience. For instance, the lightweight Alustar® aluminum construction provides both high-performance sailing and exceptional comfort. The inclusion of semi-hybrid propulsion highlights a commitment to sustainability, enhancing energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.CEO Jan Timmerman remarks: “We are grateful that the owners entrusted us with the realization of their dream, which has culminated in an exceptional and beautifully crafted yacht. Aquarius exemplifies our dedication to innovation and client-focused solutions across both sailing and motoryacht projects. Each superyacht we construct benefits from decades of experience and is meticulously tailored to the owner's vision. Aquarius vividly showcases this collaborative ethos.”As the final stages of the project unfold, preparations are underway for stepping the carbon Rondal masts and booms, conducting a series of sea trials, and ultimately, delivering the yacht to her owners.Royal Huisman is a Dutch shipyard established in 1884 in Ronduite, building and refitting custom luxury sailing and motor yachts at its shipyard in Vollenhove, the Netherlands.Credits: Royal Huisman
