GREENLINE 45 COUPE ENGINES PRICE FROM

-

here are few 45-footers on the market that lend themselves to a flybridge to coupé conversion like the Greenline 45. Losing the flybridge does little to detract from the boat’s handsome lines and it means there is more space for the eco-conscious Slovenian yard to pack on the solar panels. There are eight in all, totaling 2.4kw, which on a sunny day can produce a charge of more than 15kwh – plenty

On electric power alone, the boat has a five-knot cruising range of 30nm, not groundbrea­king but enough to allow you to cruise in silence on rivers and around marinas throughout the day.

Solar suitabilit­y aside, the coupé should be a hit with those cruising in areas with air draught restraints or for owners with restricted mobility for whom the upper deck is surplus to requiremen­ts.

From the roof down, the layout is shared with the 45 Fly, so there is a stylish modern interior from Too Design and a two or three-cabin layout. The two-cabin arrangemen­t includes large walk-in wardrobes for the master and VIP, both of which are sacrificed for twin bunks or a small double if three cabins are chosen.

The hull and drivetrain­s are also identical to its flybridge cousin, with twin-shaft drives from Yanmar and Volvo of 220hp, 320hp or 370hp with hybrid capability or two IPS options, the larger of which is good for 30 knots.
