Greenline Yachts has launched a new brand of superyachts at the Monaco Yacht Show.
The new line-up of GX Superyachts will be 24m to 56m (78-164ft) aluminium yachts with the first 42-meter (138ft) model already in build.
Greenline Yachts has been producing hybrid yachts up to 58ft for more than 15 years and will use the experience gained of hybrid propulsion, hull design and solar charging.
The new yachts will be designed to have environmental performance centred on Greenline’s serial hybrid drive and solar arrays which will form part of the structure of the yacht.
“Our journey started with Greenline Yachts, where we pioneered the world’s first serial production hybrid yacht over 10 meters back in 2008,” said yard owner Vladimir Zinchenko. “With more than 1,000 yachts delivered globally, Greenline has been at the forefront of innovation in the boating industry.
“Throughout that time, we have tried to further our vision of responsible yachting – from sourcing raw materials right through to the operation of the yacht itself.”
GX Superyachts has appointed Andrea Armas who has 28 years of experience as an owner’s representative for major international shipyards as consultant to the board of directors.
Collaboration on the first model has been very smooth, and we are looking forward to building more yachts with GX.

“I am backing GX Superyachts because I admire their ambition and vision,” he said. “My goal is to help the team translate their decade-long experience in hybrid recreational boat building into the highly regulated superyacht sector.”
The yacht will be able to travel at 6 knots in electric mode with a range of up to 100 nautical miles.
The yacht is being built at SES Yachts shipyard in Tuzla, Turkey.
“There’s no better time to launch this project than now, as we mark the 50th anniversary of our activity.” said Elif Yildirim, managing partner of SES. “Collaboration on the first model has been very smooth, and we are looking forward to building more yachts with GX.”
Two variants of each model are available. The Coupé and the RPH version which has a large flybridge and 353 gross tonnes of volume. Both versions have a beach club that has fold-down wings and a hydraulic platform.
The yacht has been designed by Marco Casali and on the technical side, Francesco Rogantin of NAMES studio has drawn an underwater hull for maximum stability as well as speed potential.
The yacht’s bathrooms are fitted with Antonio Lupi porcelainware and Dornbracht faucets. Loose furniture comes from Poltrona Frau and Rugiano, while exquisite Foglizzo leathers and natural wood flooring by Cadorin also feature.
“It felt like a very natural partnership with GX Superyachts, who knew exactly what they wanted: a hyper-efficient and stable displacement hull,” said Francesco.
“The challenge was to analyse the different operational scenarios and ensure that the hull and appendages performed to their best for each one. We deployed a powerful suite of tools to achieve this.”
Building work on the first GX42 is well under way, with the keel laying ceremony on 1 June 2024 and more than 50% of the hull already welded.
Delivery is slated for summer 2026.
