The Greenline 40, with its 6G H-Drive system, represents a bold redefinition of modern boating. By blending diesel and electric propulsion with integrated solar power, the Greenline 40 has emerged as a versatile and efficient yacht, particularly favoured by those seeking a quieter on-water experience.

This model was designed with practicality and comfort in mind, which is evident in its spacious interior, smart layout, and ample features for long-term cruising. At 40ft in length, the yacht strikes a balance between manageable size and roomy accommodations. The exterior features Greenline’s signature super-displacement hull, engineered for maximum efficiency in the water. This design improves fuel economy while ensuring a smoother and more stable ride, making it well-suited for a range of conditions.

Additionally, the yacht is equipped with standard solar panels that generate 1.98kW, allowing for a daily charge of 10kW/h. This makes it possible to stay at anchor for up to two days without using a generator thanks to the LiPo batteries that are part of the hybrid system.

The layout of the Greenline 40 is designed for functionality and socialisation. The yacht’s aft galley is situated next to the cockpit, allowing for easy access to both the kitchen and the outdoor seating area. This arrangement transforms the cockpit into a natural extension of the indoor living space, perfect for dining or relaxing with guests.

The Helmstand side door adds to the practicality, providing safer manoeuvring throughout the boat. Interior design is crafted with attention to detail. Below deck, the Greenline 40 offers comfortable sleeping accommodation with a spacious owner cabin and a well-appointed guest cabin. High-quality materials, including fine-grain wood cabinetry, contribute to a sense of warmth and luxury.

Owners can choose between different finishes – such as walnut, teak or silver oak – allowing them to personalise the space. The careful craftsmanship and build quality set the Greenline 40 apart from mass-produced yachts, with each vessel receiving individual attention during production. In the heart of this boat lies the 6G Hybrid system, which allows users to harness solar energy, shore power, and the yacht’s diesel engine for an unmatched eco-conscious experience.

Greenline’s hybrid system has been continuously refined since its debut in 2008, and allows boaters to navigate in near silence in electric mode while relying on diesel for higher speeds or extended range.

This sixth-generation H-Drive system exemplifies the marriage of electric and diesel power, enabling users to easily switch between modes based on their needs. For instance, at slower speeds, the electric drive can power the vessel for up to 20 nautical miles, which is ideal for coastal cruising or quiet anchorage.

Greenline’s approach to hybrid yachting merges comfort with environmental stewardship. Greenline 40 and its advanced 6G Hybrid system are leading the way in a new era of boating where efficiency, quiet operation, and energy autonomy are no longer optional – they are essential features for modern sailors.

This yacht allows its owners to experience the water in a way that blends performance with an innovative approach to power, making it a pioneer in the hybrid boating market. For those interested in experiencing the Greenline 40 firsthand in Asia, there is a demo model available for viewing and trials in the Malaysia/Singapore region. This is an excellent opportunity to see the yacht’s unique features and cutting-edge hybrid system in action.

At Cannes Yachting Festival, at the Greenline Yachts stand (number QSP 134, Vieux Port, Quai Saint-Pierre), Hakan Lange, the Asia Greenline dealer, and the team from Greenline are available to discuss and show their exciting boat range.
