Greenline 40 Review (2020 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Nick takes his time to examine the yacht's exterior, noting the conventional shaft drive and the clean condition of the boat’s hull. Also pointed out are the unique feature of the yacht's transom, which folds down to create a sort of beach club area.

Of particular interest is the yacht's solar power and hybrid drive features. The solar panels cover a large area of the boat, and they can drive all the 240-volt systems on the boat, including the cooking, coffee machine, fridge, and more, while also charging the batteries.

Internally, the Greenline 40 combines indoor and outdoor elements with its open layout. The galley aft layout and the ample storage it offers are praised. The helm's design is appreciated and the fresh air and ventilation it provides through the sliding roof and side opening doors.

Descending to the lower deck, there are spacious cabins with large windows allowing ample light and views. The storage options and the flexibility of the bed arrangements are impressive. The single, large heads with separate shower stalls is also highlighted.

The yacht has a hybrid drive system, featuring twin Volvo Penta D3-220 engines and an electric engine on each shaft. This allows the boat to run on electric power for up to three hours at about 6-7 knots in complete silence or on diesel for a much higher cruising speed of up to 20 knots. 

Overall, Nick's tour of the Greenline 40 offers a balanced view of the yacht, noting its unique features and expressing enthusiasm for the solar power and hybrid drive elements. He emphasizes its novelty, highlighting its newly delivered condition and its pristine state.
