Greenline 33 is all about the ENVIRONMENT.

We want to keep our most beautiful boating spots in the same pristine condition as when we first discovered them. We want to enjoy the untouched beauties of the boating world for years to come and pass them on to our children and grandchildren. The Greenline 33 is a powerful answer to this concern as it uses up to four times less fossil fuel in a year than a planing powerboat, and is completely emission-free in electric mode.

The hybrid (diesel-electric) and solar powered drive systems have proven themselves both reliable and cost effective – giving birth to the Greenline 33, the world’s first production hybrid and solar powered boat.

Comparison of fuel consumption in litres and CO2 emission in kg per boating season (35 boating days): a 33-feet sailboat with a diesel engine versus Greenline 33 Hybrid versus a 33-feet twin diesel engine powerboat.

It is our mission to preserve the world and its best boating areas for future generations. That is why we have created the Greenline Hybrid, a major step towards a completely sustainable future.

This pan European boat will increase boating comfort, reduce running costs to a significant extent and drastically reduce the carbon emissions footprint of a boating family. This has been made possible by the revolutionary shape of the Superdisplacement hull, and the implementation of alternative technologies and power sources.

In electric mode, the Greenline Hybrid is completely emission-free. In diesel mode, the Greenline 33 will burn up to 4 times less less fossil fuel per nautical mile than comparable planing hulls, reducing the pollution by 75 %.

The Greenline 33’s ability to cruise into a port, marina or an anchorage without smoke, noiselessly and with no wake will change the way modern motor boating is enjoyed by owners, how it is perceived by the boating community and how it affects our environment.

IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE: IT’S TIME FOR THE GREENLINE 33.

Greenline 33 is ALL about EFFICIENCY.

In the modern age, efficiency is all important. Efficiency in how we use energy (especially energy derived from fossil fuels), important natural resources and our financial assets. That is why we invented the protected Superdisplacement low-drag hull, which, although it is not capable of attaining fast planing speeds, uses much less energy to move through the water at speeds of up to 15 knots. Not only does this innovation reduce fuel consumption, it also allows efficient electric propulsion using power supplied by the battery and solar
power.

Designed and built by people who know more about volume boat manufacture than anybody else in the world, the Greenline 33 is more cost-effective to buy and use than any comparable boat, thereby offering incredible value for money.

The revolutionary Superdisplacement hull is the secret behind the Greenline 33 Hybrid’s ability to use less fuel, generate lower CO2 emissions and produce less wake. The fuel consumption per nautical mile is half that of a comparable displacement hull and one quarter that of a semi-displacement, twin-engine planing boat. In a full boating season the Greenline 33 will burn an amount of fossil fuel that is comparable to a sailing yacht of the same size and up to 10 times less than a twin-engine planing boat of the same size.

Less drag
The Greenline 33 is remarkably efficient throughout its speed range, guaranteeing great mileage. Its 165 hp engine consumes a mere 4 litres of fuel at 7 knots, providing up to a 700 mile range at normal cruising speed. It combines this outstanding efficiency with a top speed of 15 knots, making long day trips possible. The reduced energy requirement means less burned fuel, so lower running costs and up to a 1000 miles of range, excluding the additional range available with electric power. This means less frequent fuel stops and more time spent in your favourite cruising areas and anchorages. In most cases a single tank will last for a boating season.
The Greenline 33 Hybrid performs flawlessly in electric drive mode, reaching a top speed of 6 knots and offering a range of up to 25 nautical miles.

Better seaworthiness
This revolutionary hull efficiently covers the speed range from zero to double displacement speed - up to 15 knots in the case of a 10 metre waterline. The newly developed, sailing boat derived Superdisplacement hull (patent pending) with twin stabilisers has unmatched anti-roll and tracking stability. It offers a comfortable and safe ride in all weather conditions, faced by a head-on, side or following sea.
