Leading Hybrid Propulsion Yachts Eyachts Wins Greenline Dealer of the Year

Why Hybrid Propulsion Yachts Are Taking Off in Australia & New Zealand

Boaters across Australia and New Zealand are embracing hybrid propulsion yachts as they seek more efficient, quiet, and environmentally responsible ways to enjoy the water. Greenline Yachts has been a driving force behind this shift, offering a unique blend of electric and diesel propulsion, solar power systems, and innovative yacht design.

According to Peter Hrones, Managing Director of Eyachts, this surge in demand reflects changing priorities among boat buyers in the region:

“Many of our Greenline owners are experienced boaties who now put a high priority on shelter from the sun, stability on the ocean, and easy one-level living,” said Hrones. “Hybrid propulsion and solar power technology offer the best of both worlds—owners can cruise quietly on electric power or switch to diesel for longer journeys, all while enjoying a comfortable, efficient, and low-maintenance boating experience.”

This growing preference for responsible yachting—a term championed by Greenline—aligns perfectly with the Australian and New Zealand lifestyle, where boaters value both performance and preserving the pristine waterways they explore.

Greenline Dealer of the Year – Why Eyachts Stands Out

Eyachts’ success in securing Greenline Dealer of the Year award is driven by its unwavering focus on customer experience, product knowledge, and content creation. Alessandro Lorenzon from Greenline highlighted the dealership’s exceptional performance:

“Eyachts ranked #1 globally for orders received in 2024, demonstrating their expertise in communicating Greenline’s unique hybrid offering to customers. Additionally, their walkthrough videos, blog posts, and owner interviews were the most original content produced by any dealer, significantly contributing to Greenline’s brand value and awareness.”

Delivering Hybrid Propulsion Yachts Across Australia, New Zealand & Beyond

Eyachts has delivered Greenline 39s, 40s, 45s, and 48s to customers in Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales, and Auckland, with increasing numbers also taking advantage of European delivery.

One Australian couple recently took handover of their Greenline 39 in Slovenia before embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure around the Great Loop in the USA. European delivery has become a popular option, allowing owners to cruise the Mediterranean and Adriatic before having their yacht shipped back to Australia or New Zealand.

What Makes Greenline Hybrid Propulsion Yachts So Popular?

The Greenline Difference lies in combining cutting-edge hybrid technology with features designed specifically for comfort, convenience, and safety—making them ideal for the Australian and New Zealand lifestyle.

Key Features Owners Love:

Hybrid Propulsion Leadership – Sixth-generation hybrid system for electric cruising and efficient diesel-powered voyages.
Solar Power Revolution – Solar panels and lithium battery systems provide silent, self-sufficient power at sea, running appliances like air conditioning without a generator.
One-Level Living – Seamless indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for easy movement on board.
Sheltered Side Decks – UV protection and safety, ideal for Australia’s harsh sun.
Stability at Sea – A low centre-of-gravity hull offers enhanced stability and fuel efficiency, reducing fatigue on longer trips.

These features, combined with lower running costs and reduced emissions, have made Greenline a leading choice for boaters transitioning from sailing to motor yachts or those upgrading to a more efficient and comfortable vessel.

Real Owners, Real Experiences

Australian Greenline owners Gordon and Fiona took delivery of their Greenline 39 via European handover and described their yacht as a “floating apartment”:

“The kitchen bench folds down into a bar area—it makes entertaining seamless. We love lowering the transom to create a swim platform, and there’s so much storage and space, even for someone as tall as 6’6”,” said Fiona.

For Gordon, hybrid propulsion was the deciding factor:

“We’ve always been sailors, so a diesel-only boat didn’t sit right with us. We wanted the convenience of a motorboat without compromising our values. The hybrid system gave us the best of both worlds—quiet electric cruising and diesel when we need it. Over three months, we’ve only logged 40 engine hours—that’s how well the electric system works.”

Looking to the Future – The Rise of Responsible Yachting

Greenline Yachts is more than just hybrid propulsion—it is about responsible yachting. This ethos focuses on minimising environmental impact, reducing noise pollution, and increasing energy efficiency, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy boating.

As the only yacht manufacturer offering a full fleet with hybrid propulsion, Greenline is leading the industry into a new category of eco-friendly luxury boating. Eyachts is proud to bring this vision to life across Australia and New Zealand.

Whether you’re an experienced boater looking for a more comfortable, quiet, and efficient solution, or transitioning from sail to power, Greenline’s hybrid propulsion yachts offer the ultimate balance of performance, luxury, and responsible yachting.
