Greenline Yachts, the worldwide leader in alternative propulsion motorboats, has teamed up with Canal Boats Telemark AS in Norway, W-Yachts and Torqeedo to create the first 100% electric charter fleet in the world.

Canal Boats Telemark will operate six new Greenlines - two 33s and four 39s - all fitted with the shipyard’s revolutionary EDrive system, which was launched at Boot Düsseldorf in 2019. Since then, full electric Greenlines have been sold all over the world including to the USA, Germany and Russia.

Thanks to their bank of lithium batteries and electric motors, the Greenline 33 and 39 can cruise silently and without any emissions at a speed of 7 knots and to a top speed of 11 knots. With their battery capacity of 80kWh, they have a range of up to 40nm on a single charge.

Located in the picturesque surroundings of southern Norway, Porsgrunn is close to an international airport and ferry connection with Denmark and just three minutes’ walk from the local train station. This popular vacation destination boasts a stunning coastline and the exceptionally beautiful Telemark Canal with its impressive locks, imposing mountains and dense forest to the west.



Crucially, thanks to a grant from Enova SF, a subsidiary of the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, Canal Boats Telemarks believes that the Telemark Canal and surrounding coastline will become the first cruising grounds in the world to have a network of charging points specifically designed for boats. Like Tesla has done with its supercharger network, this will revolutionise electric boating in the area and hopefully serve as a blueprint for marine electrification in other parts of the world.

Luca Raumland, Head of Sales and Marketing at Greenline Yachts, says: “We are so excited to see the growing demand of alternative propulsion systems that our boats can provide. Since the beginning of 2020 we have built more than 60% of our production with either electric or hybrid propulsion and the forecast for 2021 is even higher, which is a positive sign that consumers are opening their minds to more efficient and sustainable ways of powering their boats.”

Greenline Yachts launched its first hybrid H Drive model in 2008 and has since become the market leader in hybrid motorboats.

Nora Sjögren Johre, CEO of Canal Boats Telemark says: “With the establishment of Canal Boats Telemark and a charging infrastructure we’re hoping that more people will be able to buy a boat that receives energy from renewable energy.”

We also believe that the Telemark Canal and the Telemark coastline will become one of the main green destinations in Norway.”

Vladimir Zinchenko, CEO and owner of Greenline Yachts, says: “We see a very exciting future in sustainable energy on boats and big steps such as this partnership with Canal Boats Telemark bring us a bit closer to emission free boating.”

The Canal Boats Telemark website will be open for booking from December 2020 and the rental season will begin in May 2021.

At Greenline, we are happy and proud to announce the launch of a new fully electric charter fleet in Norway! 

Greenline Yachts supplies the first 100% electric
cabin cruiser charter fleet

In common with shipyards around the world, the Covid-19 pandemic presented a huge challenge to Greenline Yachts. Though this period has been very difficult, production was slowed, not stopped, and every order has been honoured despite the disruption. Greenline’s commitment to using local suppliers in order to reduce its carbon footprint paid dividends here. With most parts coming from within Slovenia, production could keep running during the pandemic. Fortunately, the Slovenian authorities acted swiftly to contain the virus and declared the end of the country’s epidemic in May, meaning Greenline could focus on driving recovery and what the next few months will hold for the brand. 

At BOOT Düsseldorf in 2021 Greenline Yachts will launch the 45 Coupe. Based on the hull, drivetrain and layout of the celebrated 45 Fly, the Coupe offers year-round usability thanks to its electric sunroof and, with a reduced air draught, is well suited to cruising on inland waterways as well as offshore. Without the Glybridge in place there is increased surface area on the boat’s roof for the installation of solar panels. There are eight panels in totaling 2.4kW, which on a sunny day can produce a charge of over 15kWh – more than enough to run the boat with four people on board without resorting to a noisy generator. Sharing its DNA with the 45 Fly, the Coupe boasts naval architecture by J&J Design and an interior by Italian Marco Casali of Too Design. As well as a range of twin shaftdrive engine options with or without Hybrid Drive, the boat is available with Volvo Penta IPS600 (twin 440hp) for a top speed of 30 knots.

The new OceanClass 68 is a milestone for Greenline as it’s the largest production hybrid yacht ever built. Using a combination of twin Cummins 1,000hp diesel engines and a pair of 60kW electric motors, the 68ft 2in (20.8m) Glagship yacht is capable of 7 knots on electric power alone with a silent, emission-free cruising range of 40nm thanks to a 138kWh battery bank. As an option this capacity can be doubled. The top speed under engine power is 25 knots and with a fuel capacity of 5,000 litres the cruising range at 7 knots is 1,800nm. The OceanClass is a capable long-distance cruising vessel with vacuum-infused foam core construction and RCD Class A certiGication, meaning it is certiGied safe for ocean use. On board, the yacht is Gitted with Simrad multi-function displays and navigation equipment with digital switching and a full suite of high-end Miele appliances that run off a 20kW alternator, negating the need for a diesel generator. The yacht can sleep six guests in three spacious ensuite cabins and two crew members in their own separate quarters. Luca Raumland, Head of Sales and Marketing says: “This has been a challenging time for the business but we have used it productively. We have taken the time to improve our hybrid technology and bolster our position as a builder of responsible boats. “We have also streamlined our working practices with dealer meetings, sales training and customer viewings taking place online. As a business we are ready to embrace a new, more sustainable way of working in tandem with building the most responsible motoryachts on the water.” For more information on the Greenline Yachts range go to greenlinehybrid.com 

At Greenline, we are happy and proud to announce the launch of the new Greenline 45 Coupe and OceanClass 68 among other news!

Greenline Yachts looks forward to a bright future after Covid-19

In line with Greenline Yachts’ vision to be the most innovative and responsible boat brand in the world, its NEO range of outboard sportsboats has been sold to Bavaria Yachts. 

Bavaria Yachts, a shipyard with which Greenline Yachts shares a strong relationship, has procured all rights to the construction of the NEO as well the moulds and tooling and will begin production at its Giebelstadt facility in September 2020. 

Though the NEO is an award-nominated product that Greenline still believes in, the decision by the Slovenian yard to sell the concept is a strategic one in light of its major focus on hybrid propulsion, sustainability and responsible boating. The NEO is the only model in the current Greenline range that is not available as a hybrid. 

Greenline’s hybrid capabilities continue to revolutionise the market, a fact reinforced by fantastic sales at Boot Düsseldorf 2020 where 80% of orders taken were for boats fitted with the H-Drive Hybrid system. 

Luca Raumland, Head of Sales and Marketing at SVP Yachts, Greenline’s parent company, says: “We are very happy that our NEO found a suitable new owner in Bavaria. We still believe in this project and we are excited to see how Bavaria will push the NEO to another level with its knowledge of serial production.

“Over the past year at Greenline Yachts we have sharpened our strategy to focus on alternative propulsion systems and green technologies supporting the idea of responsible boating. Therefore it was a logical step to find a new shipyard to continue NEO’s success story.” 

Greenline will stop producing the NEO in March after which its range will boast seven models from 9.99m (32ft 8in) to 20.8m (68ft 2in) all available with hybrid or full electric propulsion. 

Michael Müller, CEO of Bavaria Yachts, commented: "In recent years the market segment for day cruisers with outboards has grown strongly, particularly in the USA and Europe, and will continue to grow in the coming years. 

“With our new day cruiser, we want to tap further customer groups and complete our portfolio of models. Due to the acquisition of the NEO concept and its further development, we will be able to present a new model as early as this year.” 

Greenline narrows focus to innovate responsible boating 

Greenline galvanises its hybrid focus and sells NEO to Bavaria Yachts

2019 was a big year for Greenline, which saw the launch of two brand new models and, in the NEO, an entirely new range that successfully catapulted the Slovenian shipyard into a sector of the market it had not competed in before. The 48 Coupe was also launched, as was the all-new 45 Fly, a star of the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival.

This influx of new models and significant expansion in North America, which now demands 30% of total production, saw overall growth over 25% compared to 2018 from €18.2 million to €23.1 million.

In early December, Keith Miller was employed as Vice President Sales North America. Formerly of Sea Ray, Keith brings a wealth of experience and will be looking to capitalize on Greenline’s success in North America, using his extensive knowledge of the market as he takes responsibility for sales in this region.  

North America’s appetite for Greenline´s industry-leading hybrid technology established a trend that was mirrored globally for the brand in 2019. In the US, 90% of boats sold to the region were equipped with H-Drive hybrid technology and, worldwide, an increase of hybrid adoption from 43%-49% from between 2018 and 2019 demonstrates a clear path towards a more sustainable style of cruising.

Another trend emerged with an increase in the number of large boats in the range sold, many with a very high specification. Though Greenline is focused on sustainability, its ability to produce eco-friendly boats with cutting edge styling, luxury and the creature comforts expected of a modern cruising yacht is what sets the brand apart. 

To this end, 2019 saw the opening of an all-new production line at company headquarters in Begunje specifically for the 45 and 48 to help meet demand for bigger boats in the range. 

Greenline’s relentless focus on sustainable boating saw the roll out of its all-electric E-Drive system across the entire range with electric-only boats being sold to countries across the network including Monaco, Hungary and the United States.

At Boot Düsseldorf 2020, Greenline will launch its 5G H-Drive, the very latest version of its hybrid drive system with flexible battery add-ons. Depending on the model, customers can upgrade to up to three additional batteries to more than double the current available cruising range using just electric power.

2020 is set to be another exciting year for the shipyard, which will see investment in the production efficiency and hybrid technology and two brand new models by the end of the year. 

Kindly invited to stop by at our stand at Boot Dü sseldorf 2020 (the new hall 1, stand 1B31) - we will be delighted to offer you a guided visit! 

Greenline looks to carry the success of 2019 into 2020

Greenline Yachts will expand their range of eco-conscious motor yachts at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival with the introduction of the ground-breaking Greenline 45 Fly. This all-new model is already proving a sales hit with 25 confirmed orders and production capacity doubling to two units per month. Delivery time is now early summer 2020. 

Greenline 45 Fly is unique in its sector, both in terms of its impressive variety of propulsion options and the choice between two extremely luxurious ensuite cabins with walk-in wardrobes or a three-cabin layout with two spacious bathrooms. 

Thanks to the fourth generation of Greenline’s game-changing diesel/electric/hybrid technology no boat of this size offers the quiet, emission-free sustainable boating experience that the 45 Fly does. The combination of solar panels, an in-line electric motor and inverter/ charger mean that 230V AC is available at all times without the need to resort to a noisy generator. 

A significant added benefit is totally silent, emission-free cruising for up to 30 nautical miles at 5 knots, perfect for inland navigation or approaching anchorages. To enjoy the beauty and tranquility of life at sea, there is nothing like it. 

The boat is equipped with domestic-standard appliances including a full-size fridge/freezer, induction hob, oven and AC sockets so there is no need to use adaptors. Every Greenline model has AC power as standard (even non-hybrid versions) and the technology works constantly to maintain a stable feed of domestic energy without needing to resort to shore power or a generator.

Volvo Penta and Yanmar engines are available and, as standard, the boat is fitted with a pair of 220hp shaft drive diesel engines but up to twin 370hp motors are available for a top speed of 25 knots. For those craving higher performance and the ease of joystick control, Volvo Penta IPS500 (twin 380hp) and IPS600 (twin 440hp) are available, the latter capable of 30 knots. The shaft drive and IPS hulls are built speciFically for their drivetrain ensuring optimum performance whichever propulsion choice is selected. 

Renowned architects J&J Design are responsible for the exterior styling and naval architecture. Though Greenline 45 Fly may have a sporty profile and beautiful lines, it is a practical and spacious cruising yacht, ideal for extended stays on the water with family and friends. Between the sheltered cockpit, comfortable foredeck with its collapsible canopy for shade and deep, well-proportioned Flybridge, guests will always be able to Find their perfect corner to relax in. Options such as the transom galley with BBQ grill and sink, and the hi-lo bathing platform are practical additions, which also offer an invaluable connection to the water. Here there is also dedicated storage for water toys with the option of a hydraulic hatch to make access as easy as possible. 

On board, a new partnership with lauded Italian superyacht designer Marco Casali of Too Design lends a stylish, sophisticated air to the interior Filled with natural light thanks to the liberal use of glass in the superstructure. 

Greenline Yachts‘ signature aft-galley configuration links seamlessly with the cockpit and puts the cook in the heart of the action whether they’re serving outdoor areas or the expansive internal dinette. 

The 45 Fly is brimming with outstanding features but the amidships master suite is the ace up its sleeve. Fitted with a king-size island bed and Flooded with natural light by its large hull windows, this cabin feels as if it has come from the class above. The ensuite is big enough to incorporate a separate shower cubicle but it’s the walk-in dressing room that really sets it apart from the competition. Fitted with hanging storage, drawers, bright spotlights and a dressing table, this is a slice of luxury unheard of on a craft this size. 

Incredibly, in the standard layout configuration guests in the forward VIP cabin have a similarly extravagant walk-in dressing area of their own, providing unrivalled levels of comfort for all on board. 

The forward VIP has over 7ft (2.02m) of headroom and bathes in natural light thanks to eye-level windows that align with cut-outs in the forward bulwarks for stunning views across the water. Classy round portholes at bed-level offer ventilation without the need to turn on the air-conditioning. 

Alternative deck layouts sacrifice the main cabins’ walk-in dressing rooms in order to make space for either a small double bed or pair of bunk beds and a sizeable wardrobe; three such generous cabins are a rarity on a boat of just 47ft 4in (14.43m). Though up to six people can comfortably sleep aboard the 45 Fly, its safe, protected side decks and the door at the lower helm plus a bulwark gate mean it is very easy to handle as a couple or even single-handed if required.

We believe that electric propulsion is the future of responsible boating. This is why every model in the Greenline range is available with a fully electric drive system, which provides silent, emission free propulsion and integrated energy management to run the boat’s domestic supply. 

EDrive Technology

We are pioneers of hybrid propulsion in boats and have been using this technology since 2008. Years of experience in hybrid drivetrains has allowed us to perfect the system not only for the purposes of propulsion but also for maximum efficiency and comfort while living on board.

HDrive Technology

Environment

Our aim is to provide comfort on board like no other. With a bank of solar panels you can use all of the boat’s appliances, whether cruising or at rest, without having to fire up a generator or connect to shore power. This means there is no noise, no vibrations, no emissions and no disturbing your neighbours when the boat is on anchor. By utilising high performance LiPo batteries, even high load appliances like air-conditioning can be run in silence. 

Solar Benefits Hybrid

Even without the hybrid drive system, there are huge benefits from Greenline’s standard fit solar panels. The panels are constantly creating sustainable energy and feeding the domestic battery bank so onboard lighting and refrigeration, for example, can be run silently without having to rely on a diesel generator. This harnessing of solar power brings both peace of mind and a responsible way to create energy on board.
