The responsible revolution charges onwards at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival
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.
