Greenline 40 in Thailand

Greenline has announced sales in Southeast Asia of a 40, 45 Fly and 48 Fly, “sold in quick succession” by regional dealer Derani Yachts. Founded in Thailand by Håkan Lange in 2004, Derani has represented the Slovenian shipyard since 2023 in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

Greenline, a pioneer of hybrid motoryachts since 2008, focuses on what it calls ‘Responsible Yachting’, offering all its models from 39-58ft with either hybrid, electric or diesel drives. Hardtop solar panels and LiPo batteries can silently power all electrical appliances including air-conditioning, with the shipyard’s 6G H-Drive providing the option for several hours of navigation under electrical power.

Vladimir Zinchenko, Greenline’s founder and CEO, said: “Greenline has not been active in Southeast Asia for long, but we see tremendous potential for growth. It seems that customers in the region appreciate the strengths of our brand, and our Responsible Yachting message is also gaining traction. We are very grateful to Håkan and his team at Derani Yachts who are doing such a great job of building awareness in this market.”

Derani sold the three Greenline models in Singapore and Thailand, while it has also announced strong leads in Malaysia – where it recently opened an office – and Indonesia. Lange, Derani Yachts’ Managing Director, said buyers were attracted by the brand’s focus on eco-friendly technology.

“Green energy is very much a hot topic in Singapore – perhaps less so in other parts of Asia, but it’s growing. For us as a Greenline dealer, it’s an educational journey whereby we highlight the added value with a hybrid propulsion system in relation to the type of boating an individual is doing or planning,” Lange said.

“While the green element is important to some, it’s an exploratory option for those that want to slide in and out of marinas in total silence and emissions free. It is also about island-hopping in the same pleasant electric drive mode. For Singapore, hybrid propulsion is very interesting as most boaters congregate in the same location at weekends, and that’s just a short cruise away.”

Greenline’s coupe-only models comprise the 39, 40 and the upcoming 42 that will debut at Boot Dusseldorf in January, while the 45, 48 and flagship 58 are available in either Coupe or Fly versions. The flybridge option is popular in Southeast Asia, where clients appreciate the extra social space on the upper deck and the extended coverage on the main deck provided by flybridge overhangs.

Alessandro Lorenzon, Greenline’s Chief Experience Officer, said: “We know from hundreds of our customers around the world that Greenline Yachts represents something different to the other brands out there. We don’t go for constant aesthetic tweaks or quick wins – our boats are designed and built to give many years of cruising enjoyment.

“With the option for hardtop flybridges, super-efficient air-conditioning and shady exterior spaces, it’s only logical that Asian boaters are taking interest.”
