With the introduction of this flagship model, the 58 Fly Hybrid, Greenline Yachts also introduced its 6G Hybrid Drive system. The builder says this is its most efficient hybrid system to date, with a 40 percent decrease in emissions compared to standard diesel engines.
“Our unique approach to responsible yachting gives owners the option of speed when it matters and optimum efficiency over shorter distances,” owner and CEO Vladimir Zinchenko stated in a press release. “The Greenline 58 Fly Hybrid exemplifies the concept, but it’s also found across all our yachts.”
There are five diesel engine options for the 58 Fly Hybrid, ranging from a combined 1,460 hp up to 2,000 hp. Depending on the powerplants, the shipyard says top speed is 26 to 29 knots. At a 5-knot cruise speed and periodically recharging the batteries via the diesels, range is a reported 1,500 nautical miles.
Greenline Yachts operates with a mindset the Slovenian builder refers to as “responsible yachting.” The idea is to include far more than hybrid propulsion and solar panels. The ethos of the brand is built around efficiency in the water, starting with what it calls “super-displacement” hulls. They are designed to allow for an efficient, stable ride at low and high speeds, with additional eco-minded efforts during the construction process and shipyard cleanup.
“Responsible yachting is a philosophy which has led us to make significant reduction in waste and energy usage at the yard, eliminating paper-based marketing material and recycling as much as we can,” Zinchenko states.
According to Greenline, the 6G H-Drive is best used for short-distance maneuvering and powering the yacht’s hotel loads at anchor. The builder says owners can expect up to three days at anchor without needing a generator, based on 20 kilowatt-hours of solar input.
The standard 6G H-Drive gets up to 20 nm in silent electric mode with speeds up to 6 knots. Greenline also offers a high-voltage 6G H-Drive setup, which replaces the standard battery bank with two 39.1 kWh, 720-volt LiFePo4 batteries. The high-voltage option increases the hybrid drive’s top speed to 10 knots, and decreases the charge time from three hours to 30 minutes in diesel mode.
Naval architect Marco Casali penned the design for the 58 Fly Hybrid, whose silhouette minimizes the appearance of the flybridge while maximizing its usable space.
Accommodations can be three staterooms or two staterooms and an office. Owners can also opt for a captain’s cabin abaft the master stateroom amidships.
