Greenline ceases production of its 33ft cruiser

Greenline Yachts, a leader in alternative propulsion motorboats and pioneer of hybrid yachts, has announced it will cease production of the Greenline 33.

Ceasing production of the Greenline 33 will allow the luxury Slovenian boatbuilder to focus resources and production space on its larger models. Orders placed up to summer 2024 will be fulfilled by the boatbuilder. 

Launched in 2008, the Greenline 33 set a new benchmark in environmentally conscious boating and was the first production hybrid boat. Almost 500 units of the 33ft family cruiser have since been delivered in more than 50 countries worldwide.

Greenline Yachts’ owner, Vladimir Zinchenko, says: “We are immensely proud of the success and heritage of the Greenline 33 and how it shaped the market for eco-conscious family boating. Winning more than 30 awards is no small feat, especially in such a competitive sector of the market. Due to the increased demand for larger yachts, the time is right for us to optimise our space and capacity for larger models.

“Greenline Yachts has recently seen strong demand from environmentally conscious and technologically astute customers, particularly looking for larger models. Thus, we look forward to delivering more industry-leading designs and larger yachts – and have exciting new models in the pipeline.” 

The Greenline 33 epitomised modern family cruising and amassed more than 30 awards – including International Boat of the Year.

It revolutionised the boating world with its hybrid propulsion system and sociable, family-focused layout. The first family cruiser with single-deck saloon, full walkaround decks and aft galley with a top-hinged window that connected it with the cockpit, the model set a new trend for single-level cruising.

Luca Raumland, chief sales & marketing officer, says: “There is growing appetite in the market for a more sustainable way of boating. This marks a new and exciting chapter for Greenline Yachts as we build upon our successes and expand our dynamic fleet. Our expert team will continue to work tirelessly to produce high-quality yachts with credible alternative propulsion options.”
