This was the most comprehensive explanation and demonstration of a marine hybrid engine system that I've ever seen. Using realistic and practical real-time data to validate the performance specs.
@@NautiStyles This has been the most comprehensive coverage I've seen on a hybrid, yet how would they work in environments such as the Westcoast of Canada? Or would we someday in the future, convert water into power and use the water as a power source? The future is already here.
Today is my daughter's 9th birthday. Instead of taking her shopping right now, I'm watching Rico and Udo talk nerdy to me. 'Sorry Maddie. Daddy is learning about a boat I'll never own'. This has been great so far
The Greenline Hybrid yacht is an engineering dream come true!!! The WOW factor is through the roof. Love this vessel. Thank you NautiStyles for this memorable tour!!! ❤❤❤
I absolutely love GREENLINE, INTERNATIONAL YACHT SALES, and UDO WILLERSINN you guys are the best! And this is honestly one of the best episodes I’ve seen of NautiStyles. The GREENLINE 45 Flybridge will always hold a special place in my heart.💚💚
As I said last week when you asked everyone your question, my answer is, if you find it interesting then so will your viewers. The episode proves that. What an interesting boat and maybe a glimpse of the future designs of boats.
I'd love to do 'The Loop' ,as I'm from Michigan and the Saginaw Bay's close to use as a 'home port' during summer,and cruise south to avoid the cold,and to go island hopping of course.I've never heard a ship's systems described so well,and this is such a Great design.Thank you 3 for demonstrating this awesome ship.(Just need the Lottery).
These newer solar/hybrids are getting more and more awesome. The micro control with electric is a game changer for docking. To be fully self supported to leave the boat on mooring and not worry about fridge or basics is great. I’m hoping to get an ocean level yacht, but for the loop (also on my bucket list) this does look perfect. Join The Crew
I wish you two would do The Great Loop and film it for this channel. That would be so much fun to watch. This boat would be wonderful for that trip. Anyway, loved this video. Thank you!
this is also the problem with electric cars, so silent that pedestrians can't hear it and run the risk of getting hit, some states are entertaining laws to force electric cars to make some kind of recorded noise for that reason,
Greenline walk through videos are what really made me try to buy a boat. Owning a greenline would be a dream come true. At the moment I am trying search for everything I would need to operate a baot
Wow, that remote control tail gate (forgot the name) is too cool! The idea of setting anchor off an island without running your engines yet being fully comfortable! I really like to see this Eco Yacht going to the islands!
This boat is the new face of boating. Like the largest RV maker just announcing an all electric RV, plus many EV cars in 2023 are cheaper than Gas cars. This video was a delight. Best yacht walk thru video on ALL channels to date! Conversational exchange of information with practical examples and a video walk thru. I work at an RV solar company. We remove the need for generators by combining solar, lithium batteries and high efficiency alternators to the engine - much like this boat. Thanks so much!!!
Bow Thruster? What's that? Not in 1966. LOL. Always had to use the current to dock the boat. Bow thrusters would be so fun! I could go "sideways"...lol..🥳 Love 💙 the quiet. Love 💙 the low profile. Mini everything except "Views ⚓ Cruise" Awesome Thrifty Fun! I paid attention to the solar stuff because I am re-vamping my van into a camper and plan to install solar. 👍 Great Tour as always! 🕊️💙⚓🛥️
Guess the Wynns should have bought the Oceanclass 68. Lol. I know they wanted a performance sailboat, but with the solar system and the diesel like he says, they could have gotten by, especially with as much motoring as they were doing. But the cost, size needed for crossing Oceans, etc.. I get it. Just saying.
Wow....I'm usually a 50 ft + boat guy, but I could definitely see this as an ultimate live aboard for one or two people and it's small enough that you don't need crew of any kind (well, after you learn how to drive it ofc). Very impressive, I must say. And it's as cheap as a house in Ft Lauderdale to boot😂
The Greenline boats not only have pioneering powersystems but some lovely semi retro styling inside and out.. I first saw them in their native Australian waters and was impressed then. They look well balanced and able vessels inside and out. The electrical propulsion if the props are sheilded enables you to get close up to marine wildlife as well as enabling you to quickly come and silently and without causing local air pollution in harbour or along built up waterways. Congratulations on doing an informative deep dive on these forward looking vessels.
Doing a boat tour while underway is the BEST boat tour, I hope you guys can do more like these. The hybrid is an awesome way to go. I would run the diesel during the day and the electric at night.
Interesting , Thank You . To me I think that she would be a really fine liveaboard , Weekend cruiser , in all fairness effectivly unlimited range . Just the boat for a large lake . I am not compleatly sure but I think that she could be transported by truck with some permits. A special thank you for having Mr. Udo Willersinn along to explain and demonstrate , his explenations of how things work and practical demonstrations combined with you're amazing tours . Again Thank You for being so amazing
Wow! This is the most in-depth overview of the Greenline 40 I've seen on CZcams. Great job guys! I'm really impress with this vessel. Something, looking forward to get one when I retire in a year or two and cruise up & down the ICW from OBX 🙂
This is a compelling video about an exceptional boat with a compelling business model. In the days of $5-7 per sq ft sails, $1/ft Dyneema lines and shrouds, and carbon fiber masts for days there is wind, here is an ecological solution at a competitive price.
I'd vote this Greenline BOAT of the DECADE. Never been a fan of sailing (too complicated and too much work) but loved the sound of the waves with no engine noise. This is the perfect solution.
A lot of Greenline company technicians come from the same base as many technicians in Pipistrel aircraft company which produced first certified electric plane . Company Im talking about had a rough past many smart guys went to the companies listed above the company Im talking is Elan, today known as ski (Elan invented carving ski as well) and sail boat producer.
The average fuel burn for The Great Loop is around $36,370! Shocking to think you could possible cut that to almost nothing, plus little to nothing hours on the engines so the boat resale value is higher.
Got to say watching you guys is so much more relaxing you two are out enjoying life making a life and a living to buy a 7 million dollar yacht Ooo yea when I listen to the news the world is falling apart but you guys give me a little hope things will work out for the world God Bless you all
One word to describe this boat.. PERFECT! Seriously perfect for great loop, or family to enjoy going out on the water, for weekend or even a trip to the Bahamas. Its like a floating RV. Just the right size if you just want to go out fishing on a lake for a day or spending a few weeks traveling. Just damn, would love to have one of those.
On your walk through of the Riviera 78 I commented that I do NOT like top heavy boats. Interesting that the captain on this boat commented on exactly the same thing. This is one, of many, reasons that my favorite boat is the Elling E6.
I can completely concur with his story of a couple waiting 20 years for a mooring in Boston!!! I just waited 14... and I agree this would be the BOMB on a mooring at a fraction of the price of slippage around here... BINGO.
@@NautiStyles ... could get down in the back waters pretty good, would really need a dingy... but shux, cruise up some ole river at night, wouldn't even scare a bullfrog. :)
What a brilliantly built vessel !! ...you guys made this introduction and tour of the Greenline 40 "better than perfect" for me. Udo explained how the hybrid system operated so well too! Love seeing this kind of new tech coming into the cruiser world!
What a beautiful boat with clean lines and a great layout ! Your tour and explanation of all the features with the assist by Udo was great. There are many advantages to a marine hybrid and this is a perfect example of it with diesel and electric. It's amazing how much room you have on the interior and the staterooms are perfect. Thank you for a complete look at the Greenline 40 and keep up your great videos !
Had an extra day following a convention in Miami and went up to FLL-- got to see the Greenlines there and enjoy the riverfront walk; spoke with Udo briefly by phone, but wanted him to enjoy his day off. Great area, and appealing boats!
A good question! A lot will depend on the battery formulation and how you're using them. I _HOPE_ Udo misspoke when he said the main batteries were LiPo's because those do NOT take well to getting wet (especially with salt water). LiFePO4 batteries are much safer in every situation. If you can get at least 5 years life on a marine battery bank you should be good, since by then the technology will have changed anyway. With a starting price of $530k the 40 isn't too overpriced.
All the technology on the Greenlie Hybrid is fantastic. With all the advances in boating, you guys will have to start a new channel just to give instructions on how to use it. I can relate to what Udo was saying about old school boating. My first weekender was a 1957 Chris Craft.
What a fantastic yacht! This kind of hybrid isn't new in marine applications -- conventional American submarines in WWII used the same basic idea, recharging batteries while running under diesel power on the surface -- but the ease, sophistication, and efficiency here are astounding. If I can ever afford to buy a yacht new, it just might be one of these. 36:05 -- Yeah, that's like waiting lists for a berth at Santa Cruz Harbor, especially for larger boats and especially for the "lower harbor" where you don't need to worry about clearance under a bridge. And it's the same kind of rule: once you get the spot, you have like 6 weeks to put a boat there or you lose it. It's the harbor where I want to be, but for practical reasons I'll need to head down the coast a little.
Love seeing a tour of one of my "short list" boats. I'm wondering if any of the Greenline boaters who are planning on doing the Loop this year (or next) are going to CZcams it? . Another question, mostly for Udo or Greenline if they're watching, have you looked at having Sharrow props as an option on your boats? I believe I heard Udo say that there is a ZF transmission on the output side of the electric motor? Could you put that in neutral then and use one or both of the diesels in generator mode to recharge the battery bank once you're either on the dock or mooring ball (assuming the sun isn't shining of course)?
I own a 6-meter center console (Quicksilver 555 open with a merc 115efi) In addition to the main engine I have a small auxiliary electric outboard with a 40 amp battery. This setup will only give me about 2 knots but because I mainly drive on channels with currents up to 3 knots, I can comfortably cruise downstream without using up precious engine hours... And that's a significant advantage...
I’ve been thinking about a Greenline 48. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this. The best representation of the yacht I’ve ever seen. Sea testing is important. I wish you could do them on all your reviews. Mainly for fuel consumption. I realize this is not possible and you can’t give the owners account. Bottom line, great job.
I live in Wisconsin and this boat would make an amazing live aboard on Lake Michigan . I really really like the hybrid motor system. It’s so innovative ! AND YOU CAN’T LEAVE RICO WHERE WOULD I GET MY DAD JOKE FIX LOL 😂
As a renewable energy engineer, I can say I’m impressed. I’ve been watching the boat industry for several years now. And it appears they have taken to heart the challenges we face with renewable energy. And are excelling at it. To show an example, when he says they are using 300 watts, your coffee maker (drip) uses around 1000 watts, a small microwave is 1000/1500 watts. So yeah. Impressive.
I own a performance sailboat (Pogo 10.50) and have been dreaming about going around the world in a performance catamaran, but damn this is appealing. You get all the comfort of a motorboat with the quietness of a sailboat and you avoid soooo much maintenance from not having standing and running rigging.
As a Prius owner for the last 20 years, who is looking into getting our first live aboard I was just thrilled at seeing this boat tour. I so much enjoy this practical information on what's out there, there is practically no information available about alternative energy being actually used to power the boat motor itself. I was so disappointed to see that there was such a lack in technology to do this when like I said I have been using the Prius to get a huge mileage advantage since 2005. Thanks for bringing this particular boat to light.
I really loved the boat and video. The technology in the boat design would let you cruise almost indefinitely. A great design. Stay safe and dry through the storm.
Very innovative and the perfect Florida boat. Cruise around for days without refueling. A draft of less than 3’ - Bahamas here we come. 40’ length so dock space shouldn’t be that difficult, perfect boat for a couple to enjoy.
I love where the industry is going. Diesel / Solar / Electric Hybridization is definitely the future. Advancements in battery tech and solar tech and diesel tech are only going to make this better. Another cool feature is these systems will be relatively cheap to upgrade as advances continue. My solar electric future is looking so bright, I gotta wear shades. This is a beautiful boat. Nice presentation y'all, very informative. ❤❤❤
I was also thinking if guest have young adults, they probably would love to spend the night in the tender. Giving your guest an extra two more bed rooms.😂 what a choice of the best for your guest.
Wow I thank you a million times to show me this boat that i love a lot and the way you guys showed it to me and the others is absolutely great. I am seriously thinking of it as in a way get one of this one. I love the access of the engine as well and thank you Rico for the way you described it.👍👍👍🤟😉
Hiya Vico, What a cleaver Viking boat. Great tour and video, thank you. As an ex-electrician, I actually understood the tech talk about the amps and watts, me understanding boat talk??? Wow, again, thank you for organising this one year to set up? Worth every second it took you to do. A fantastic boat and, I would think, well worth the money. How many cabins are on the largest version? What a great live-aboard to have. Thank you again. As in all new designs, you bring us; a perfect layout and internal lines. A place for everything and everything in its place. Fantastic, the clean designs now are so good against what was traditional design. I love where the industry is going. Stay safe, Steve xx
I didn't watch the entire video but did you guys ask him how much the big hybrid battery will cost to replace after it has reached the end of its charge cycles. Every battery needs to be replaced eventually. I would like to know the cost of the battery itself and also how much it would cost for labor to replace it. My guess would be somewhere in the $25k-$35k range at least for parts and labor. Please respond.
@@NautiStyles Come on did you guys find out how expensive the battery is to replace? You have to point that out to do a true full review of what is involved in owning this boat. Nobody is talking about about how expensive it is to replace replace batteries on cars and now boats. That information needs to be told up front. I didn't even see the battery on this boat in this video which means its probably in a location that is a nightmare to get to. Therefore making it extremely expensive to replace due to the labor cost alone. I will really respect you guys if you answer the question.
Nice explanation of Solar Hybrid & interesting sea trial of this 40 footer. Victoria & Fort Lauderdale’s scenery never gets tiring with these boating tours. Thanks guys.🙏🇨🇦👍

Your comments about the quiet made me wonder how much operators take handling cues from engine and water noise.
this is also the problem with electric cars, so silent that pedestrians can't hear it and run the risk of getting hit, some states are entertaining laws to force electric cars to make some kind of recorded noise for that reason,
@@robc1952 I was once surprised by an electric car; fortunately it was moving very slowly on a driveway.
You all keep,calling it 'the anchor locker'. I thought we were all in agreement that it was now called 'The Victoria time-out space' ?

"Always have solar?" So clouds and night cease to exist when you board this boat? Now THAT is one heck of a selling point! 🤣🤣🤣
If this Greenline has a water maker I am sold! Too bad I can’t afford one.
Yup, a water maker would be a priority.
Free to explore ❤

so far there are no charters there yet, thta's why they are looking for people to do that
Geez Rico. I wouldn't let her outta my site. She is getting younger every time I see her. Another good show. Thanks guys
ooow thank you 🙈😝
Excellent tour of a fantastic vessel! I think Udo and Alexi would make for some interesting conversation that you probably couldn't understand.
Don’t underestimate us 😂
Life expectancy for battery systems...Most won't care, if u own a Greenline.
That is an excellent question !
A good question! A lot will depend on the battery formulation and how you're using them. I _HOPE_ Udo misspoke when he said the main batteries were LiPo's because those do NOT take well to getting wet (especially with salt water). LiFePO4 batteries are much safer in every situation.

As a renewable energy engineer, I can say I’m impressed. I’ve been watching the boat industry for several years now. And it appears they have taken to heart the challenges we face with renewable energy. And are excelling at it.
To show an example, when he says they are using 300 watts, your coffee maker (drip) uses around 1000 watts, a small microwave is 1000/1500 watts. So yeah. Impressive.
I own a performance sailboat (Pogo 10.50) and have been dreaming about going around the world in a performance catamaran, but damn this is appealing. You get all the comfort of a motorboat with the quietness of a sailboat and you avoid soooo much maintenance from not having standing and running rigging.
We live on the Mississippi in Wisconsin and this would be the perfect size to fit our dock and do the loop and beyond. Our retirement dream!
Sweet!!!
I'm curious how this boat will ride threw the outlet? I watch the boat zone (the outlet) and boy the waves their are huge. This boat is amazing.
I totally believe in the Hybrid future for yachts. Sunreef etc. these guys are the benchmark.
thanks
This boat has been one my favorites. So happy you finally did this walkthrough.
Keep it up 🎉
Dave
yeay! Glad you enjoy it!
So interesting and helpful to see a hybrid operating and well explained. Not to mention, it looked like a lot of fun!!
It was!💙💙
As a Prius owner for the last 20 years, who is looking into getting our first live aboard I was just thrilled at seeing this boat tour. I so much enjoy this practical information on what's out there, there is practically no information available about alternative energy being actually used to power the boat motor itself. I was so disappointed to see that there was such a lack in technology to do this when like I said I have been using the Prius to get a huge mileage advantage since 2005. Thanks for bringing this particular boat to light.
We appreciate you watching the video Diane 💙🙏
That IS an incredible Boat, Tech has finally cout up.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I really loved the boat and video. The technology in the boat design would let you cruise almost indefinitely. A great design. Stay safe and dry through the storm.
Superbly explained how this system works and this would be a great boat to own and really relax into the solar experience! 👌💎👌
Glad you like it!
Very innovative and the perfect Florida boat. Cruise around for days without refueling. A draft of less than 3’ - Bahamas here we come. 40’ length so dock space shouldn’t be that difficult, perfect boat for a couple to enjoy.
We agree! 💙🙏
I love where the industry is going.
Diesel / Solar / Electric Hybridization is definitely the future.
Advancements in battery tech and solar tech and diesel tech are only going to make this better.
Another cool feature is these systems will be relatively cheap to upgrade as advances continue.
My solar electric future is looking so bright, I gotta wear shades. This is a beautiful boat.
Nice presentation y'all, very informative. ❤❤❤
It would make a great series of videos if you guys did the Great Loop.
I was also thinking if guest have young adults, they probably would love to spend the night in the tender. Giving your guest an extra two more bed rooms.😂 what a choice of the best for your guest.
1000 miles on 185 gallons of diesel? Is that right? If so, thats a super efficient hull design.
👌🏻👌🏻
@@NautiStyles that comes out to 1.5 gallons/hr at 7 knots... right?
Wow I thank you a million times to show me this boat that i love a lot and the way you guys showed it to me and the others is absolutely great. I am seriously thinking of it as in a way get one of this one. I love the access of the engine as well and thank you Rico for the way you described it.👍👍👍🤟😉
Как всегда великолепно. Спасибо. Молодцы
💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻
So when was this filmed if you have a tropical storm on the way? Nice cruising boat
in the Fall
Hiya Vico,
What a cleaver Viking boat. Great tour and video, thank you. As an ex-electrician, I actually understood the tech talk about the amps and watts, me understanding boat talk??? Wow, again, thank you for organising this one year to set up? Worth every second it took you to do.
A fantastic boat and, I would think, well worth the money. How many cabins are on the largest version? What a great live-aboard to have.
Thank you again. As in all new designs, you bring us; a perfect layout and internal lines. A place for everything and everything in its place. Fantastic, the clean designs now are so good against what was traditional design. I love where the industry is going.
Stay safe, Steve xx
I didn't watch the entire video but did you guys ask him how much the big hybrid battery will cost to replace after it has reached the end of its charge cycles. Every battery needs to be replaced eventually. I would like to know the cost of the battery itself and also how much it would cost for labor to replace it. My guess would be somewhere in the $25k-$35k range at least for parts and labor. Please respond.
why would you not watch The whole video?? 🤷♀️😝
@@NautiStyles Come on did you guys find out how expensive the battery is to replace? You have to point that out to do a true full review of what is involved in owning this boat. Nobody is talking about about how expensive it is to replace replace batteries on cars and now boats. That information needs to be told up front. I didn't even see the battery on this boat in this video which means its probably in a location that is a nightmare to get to. Therefore making it extremely expensive to replace due to the labor cost alone. I will really respect you guys if you answer the question.
I love it! Would be great for the loop I think.
100%
She doesn't even stop talking when she's out picking up the fenders🤣😂🤣. Interesting boat☝☝☝
Yall need to tour a silent yacht. That's the example of electric boat they need to be looking at. Something that can cross oceans.
Very nice boat. Udo is such a cool guy.
agreed!!🙌🏻
Love this one, can't wait to win the lotery
OMG!! In like 30 mins into the video, I was like I'm definitely buying this one day. Thanks NautiStyles for showing us this, wow!!
Nice explanation of Solar Hybrid & interesting sea trial of this 40 footer. Victoria & Fort Lauderdale’s scenery never gets tiring with these boating tours. Thanks guys.🙏🇨🇦👍
glad you enjoyed it
Another Great Option for Looping and Living! Thanks NautiStyles for a most enjoyable tour and "test ride" of this hybrid yacht.
