Greenline 42, the shipyard’s new model is even more customizable and high-performing

A new 42-footer is joining the Greenline Yachts range. The leading builder of hybrid and sustainable motorboats announced it at the Cannes Yachting Festival: the new Greenline 42 is already under construction at the Slovenian shipyard and will be available in early 2026. Once launched, the yacht will set new standards for a brand already well known among seasoned boaters for its exceptional comfort and energy self-sufficiency.

Greenline 42: excellent performance

With a better optimised hull, the boat has a higher top speed of 30 knots for the same incredibly efficient 2x 250hp power train. Refined naval architecture rethought by Micad, reduces drag, while Greenline’s proprietary H-Drive 6G optimises battery charging and fuel consumption, allowing silent electric manoeuvring. Meanwhile, four additional solar panels on the coach roof will bring the total to 10, whose maximum output of 4.1kW will run all hotel appliances and recharge the battery bank even faster.

The Greenline 42 redefines onboard social spaces, offering greater flexibility and smarter use of every corner. The aft cockpit offers two radically different layouts, including features such as a drop-down transom, lowering swim platform and the option of fully removable furniture. There is also a new foredeck lounge area over the anchor covers, in line with the design of the larger Greenline 58.

“Greenline Yachts believes that fantastic design has no shelf-life, so we don’t seek to constantly update or replace our models – said owner and CEO Vladimir Zinchenko – When we do finally introduce a new boat, it is therefore no light decision. You can be sure that the new Greenline 42 has absorbed every inch of our know-how and will provide a reference in the market for decades to come. Timeless, long-lived design is a key part of our Responsible Yachting commitment”.

A new interior look

Marco Casali extends his partnership with the brand by designing not only the exterior, but also three interior styles for the new yacht. From the outset, he aimed to reinvigorate rather than reinvent Greenline’s timeless looks and luxurious practicality. Built around a natural colour palette and renewable materials, there is ‘honey teak’ or ‘modern oak’.

Small developments to the classic Greenline interior lay-out will also delight connoisseurs. Aft windows by the galley can now be slid effortlessly down to provide better ventilation, for instance. Then there’s the ability to decide whether there should be a second guest bathroom below or rather a walk-in closet or dedicated vanity table for the owner. And for the first time on a Greenline, there are dashboard-style climate controls at the helm station to keep you cool, or warm, as required.

In fact, the options on this new Greenline 42 are legion. Pick your selection on cabins, wardrobes and toilets; your choice of fridges and freezers in various formats; and an extra sofa in the saloon. Not for nothing is Greenline calling this boat its most customisable model ever.

“The Greenline 42 was an exciting challenge for us. We need to follow the huge success of the other models adding even more comfort on board and a more modern shape respecting our timeless lines. From the interior point of view the big revolution was the full glass ending of the saloon that allows big openings of the galley and creates a strong connection with the cockpit now offered in two versions. On the exterior side instead, we tried to connect the modern shape of the new Greenline projects we designed like the 58 with the classic shape that a boat like this is asking for”, said Casali.
