Responsible Yachting at Greenline Yachts
We design our yachts with the full life cycle in mind, constantly working on lowering environmental impact.
Greenline Yachts leads the way in responsible innovation, going beyond the overused term ‘sustainable.’
Not only through hybrid and electric propulsion or integrated solar power, but through our entire concept, we focus on transparency and real impact—reducing emissions and creating a cleaner, responsible future on the water. ‘Responsible yachting’ reflects our commitment to solutions that truly make a difference.
At Greenline Yachts, we have pioneered a unique philosophy that seamlessly blends innovation with environmental responsibility, setting a new standard in the yachting industry.
We design our yachts with the full life cycle in mind, constantly working on lowering environmental impact.
We choose raw materials that balance sustainability, performance, and cost-effectiveness. Our focus is on eco-friendly solutions that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high standards in quality, weight, and economic viability.
We prioritize sustainable and recycled materials whenever possible. Using certified low-emission resins and foam cores made partially from recycled PET plastics to ensure that our yachts not only perform exceptionally but also have a reduced environmental impact.
Transparency is at our core.
We openly track our actions and reveal them in a yearly published Responsible Yachting report.
With a focus on lightweight solutions, we not only boost propulsion efficiency but also significantly reduce energy consumption.
Our production process highlights the benefits of using advanced techniques like vinyl-ester resin and vacuum infusion, which ensure superior quality and weight benefits, over traditional hand lamination methods.
Use of cutting-edge Vacuum Infusion Technology for the production of the majority of GRP parts. It ensures minimal environmental impact and provides a safer workplace for our employees.
Higher Composite Performance: An improved fiber-to-resin ratio (60/40), leading to stronger and more efficient components.
Responsible manufacturing is not just about innovation; it’s about choosing processes that respect our planet, workers, and customers.
We believe that a happy and motivated workforce is essential not only for creating a positive work environment but also for producing high-quality yachts. By prioritizing employee well-being, comfort, and safety, we ensure that our team has the support they need to deliver exceptional craftsmanship.
Providing ongoing training and development opportunities to ensure employees are equipped with the latest skills and knowledge in yacht production and sustainability.
We actively support employee well-being through sports programs like biking, hockey, and other activities that encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our yacht furniture is built using an inner-line tray system, ensuring a more comfortable work environment by reducing the need for workers to crouch inside the hull during production.
Shaping the future of hybrid technology since 2008, Greenline Yachts offers propulsion systems that combine maximum efficiency, comfort, and sustainability.
Our advanced diesel engines, including the latest HVO-compatible models, set the standard for traditional propulsion. For those seeking an upgrade, our hybrid systems seamlessly enhance this performance for a cleaner, more efficient experience on the water.
Our parallel hybrid system combines the best of both worlds, offering the power and speed of traditional propulsion with the quiet, vibration-free experience of electric mode. This versatile setup allows for efficient cruising at higher speeds while seamlessly switching to electric for peaceful, eco-friendly navigation.
With the latest HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) engines, emissions can be reduced by up to 50%. HVO is sourced from renewable feedstocks, resulting in lower lifecycle emissions compared to traditional diesel. This cleaner alternative allows for greener cruising without compromising performance, contributing to a more responsible future on the water.
While we previously offered pure electric propulsion, we have reassessed its benefits for cruiser yachts. A fully electric boat with a diesel generator is essentially a serial hybrid system. Our parallel hybrid setup offers a superior solution, combining the best of both worlds—efficient traditional propulsion for longer journeys and silent, emission-free electric cruising when needed.
The data below is calculated from the assumption that the owners spend 90 days on board.
During this period:
Emission savings are based on internal estimates and real-world data from our experience in the Mediterranean, comparing the Greenline 45 Coupe with traditional diesel propulsion to the Greenline 45 Coupe with hybrid and solar. Actual results may vary depending on usage, conditions, and other factors.
Leading in solar innovation, equipping our entire fleet with high-performance solar systems to drive awareness and adoption of renewable energy solutions in yachting.
With no noise, no vibrations, and zero emissions, your yacht becomes a haven of tranquility, even while running home appliances on board.
Not just an add-on, but recessed in the mold including forced air cooling on every Greenline Yacht. The constant generation of sustainable energy keeps the domestic battery bank charged, running essential systems without the need for a diesel generator.
We use the latest Lithium battery technologies and constantly explore new battery concepts to shape the future of responsible yachting.
Responsibility extends beyond propulsion—it’s woven into every aspect of how we build and equip our yachts. We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact through innovative solutions that prioritize recycling, reuse, and renewable resources.
We emphasize recycling not only in our production process but also in our offices. From minimizing waste to ensuring that office materials we purchase are recycled or sustainable, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint across all aspects of our operations.
We prioritize recycling and reusing materials wherever possible. Leftover foam from our production process is repurposed for home insulation, while wood scraps from carpentry are shredded and pressed into heating pellets. This approach helps minimize waste and contributes to a more sustainable production cycle.
Each Greenline Yacht is delivered with organic boat wash and biodegradable garbage bags, making it easier for our customers to take immediate action in protecting the waters they sail on.
We believe in a holistic approach to responsible yachting—considering every detail, from the equipment onboard to the products we endorse.
We are constantly improving by installing the most energy-efficient household appliances and consumer electronics on every yacht, ensuring that every system uses as little power as possible while delivering maximum comfort.
In our marketing efforts, we avoid single-use plastic merchandise and have reduced printed materials to an absolute minimum. This reflects our commitment to sustainability and reducing waste throughout all facets of our brand.
Being a responsible captain is crucial to responsible yachting. At Greenline Yachts, we inspire owners to operate their yachts efficiently and responsibly on the sea.
Efficient cruising
We educate captains on techniques for efficient cruising, helping to reduce fuel consumption and minimize environmental impact.
Educating about weight on board and fuel consumption, so owners can optimize their journeys, reducing fuel usage and minimizing their environmental footprint.
Engagement Programs
We encourage owner engagement through gamification and competitions.
Silent cruising
We emphasize the importance of silent cruising, raising awareness about the benefits of reducing noise pollution for marine life.
We are committed to transparent reporting on our environmental performance, and invite you to explore our detailed Responsible Yachting Report. This report provides comprehensive data on emissions, energy efficiency, and our continuous efforts to protect marine ecosystems.
