Greenline 48: Longevity and Innovation in Yacht Design

Greenline celebrates a decade of success with the 48 Fly and Coupe.

The Greenline 48 continues to shine a decade after its debut, with 117 units built and production peaking at 12 units this year. This model remains fresh and appealing due to its timeless design and advanced features, appealing to various markets with its Coupe and Flybridge versions.

Greenline Yachts, based in Slovenia, has perfected evergreen yacht design with the Greenline 48. Despite being unveiled ten years ago, this mid-sized cruiser maintains a strong sales record. The upcoming delivery of the 120th hull underscores Greenline's commitment to Responsible Yachting.

The yacht's enduring appeal is rooted in its efficient hull and drivetrain, along with a flexible interior layout. The choice between a flybridge or coupe profile further enhances its versatility. Greenline Yachts' meticulous finish and smart design contribute to a fantastic ownership experience.

We've always aimed to do things differently, focusing on Responsible Yachting and innovation. Longevity in our models shows we're succeeding, as our boats make and keep owners happy by avoiding fleeting trends."

Launched at the Düsseldorf Boat Show in 2014, the Greenline 48 is popular among experienced boaters and ex-sailors. Its forward master cabin benefits from natural ventilation, while the hull's design, similar to a sailing boat, ensures a smooth ride.

Accommodation is thoughtfully designed with two large guest cabins featuring flexible sliding beds and ensuite bathrooms. There's also an option for a self-sufficient captain's cabin aft. The main deck boasts a spacious saloon, deep cockpit, and fore and aft lounging areas. Notably, there are no steps between the helm station and the aft deck, enhancing stability and comfort.

The Greenline 48's aft galley connects to both the saloon and the cockpit, making it easy to prepare food without missing out on conversations. This layout, an innovation by Greenline, is now widely adopted in the industry.

Both Flybridge and Coupe versions have their distinct advantages. The Flybridge offers extra entertaining space open to cooling breezes, while the Coupe's sleeker profile and broader overhangs keep the interior cool. The coachroof is perfect for solar panels, a key element of Greenline's DNA. Nine high-quality solar panels generate over 15kWh of power daily, reducing the need for a generator.

Greenline's proprietary H-Drive hybrid propulsion system, recently upgraded to 6G, combines electric motors with diesel engines for efficient and silent cruising. The boat can cover up to 25 nautical miles in electric mode and achieve speeds up to 24 knots with diesel power.

Responsible Yachting

Greenline Yachts introduces an annual award to honor owners who excel in responsible yachting, recognizing achievements in solar power generation and electric engine hours. This initiative aligns with Greenline's philosophy of promoting sustainability. Additionally, all new yachts come with biodegradable green yacht wash and digital owner's manuals to minimize environmental impact.

The shipyard is cutting waste and power use in production. Wood offcuts are turned into heating pellets, and leftover foam is repurposed for home insulation by a neighboring company. They have nearly eliminated single-use marketing materials, opting for recycled or sustainable options.
