The GREENLINE 42 will be present at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, the first of the nautical events in September taking place from September 8 to 13.

“The Cannes Yachting Festival is the ideal stage for the Greenline 42,” said Global Business Director Alessandro Lorenzon. “This yacht represents the evolution of everything Greenline stands for: efficient cruising, exceptional comfort, intelligent use of space, and a more contemporary design language. Following the enormous interest we have seen since the launch, we are excited to present the Greenline 42 to the international audience that Cannes attracts every year“

Set to become the flagship of the new GREENLINE line, this yacht combines practicality with a new flexibility design, enhancing life on board without sacrificing performance. Designer Marco Casali, who has already collaborated on the flagship Greenline 58, has been instrumental in defining the new brand guidelines through this new model.

“New models are rare at Greenline Yachts because we take pride in the longevity of our designs,” Lorenzon said. “When we gathered feedback from our owners, several priorities became clear. They wanted more space in the helm to relax, higher performance under power, and a more contemporary aesthetic. The Greenline 42 offers all this while remaining true to the DNA that has made Greenline successful”.

The large 360-degree side windows, the S-line of its transparencies, and the aerodynamic profile of the roof are the unmistakable aesthetic features of the GREENLINE 42. The close interaction between the designer and the GREENLINE YACHT shipyard is even more evident in the generous spaces of the dinette: a large folding table can comfortably accommodate eight people, and the cockpit and aft deck merge into a single, welcoming open space.

Greenline 42, energy management: news and confirmations

Energy management is the flagship of Greenline Yachts, with ten solar panels installed and integrated on the roof of the Greenline 42 (up to 4.5 kW), which, combined with a 22 kW battery bank (expandable to 66 kW/h), allows owners to enjoy all onboard services in complete autonomy. With the standard battery pack, the range is about 10 – 15 nautical miles while maintaining a cruising speed of around 4-5 knots. With the extension pack (up to 66-77 kWh), the range significantly increases, allowing for between 20 and 35 nautical miles at a constant speed of 4-5 knots.

The Greenline 42 offers two engine options to suit every style of navigation: the traditional Yanmar 250 HP engines, ideal for those seeking classic performance, or the advanced H-Drive 6G hybrid system by Greenline, designed for those who wish to navigate with zero emissions and maximum silence.

In hybrid configuration, the powerful electric motors positioned between the engines and the propellers allow for silent maneuvers and cruising speeds of up to 6.5 knots. In diesel mode, the system collects energy to recharge the batteries, ensuring sufficient power for silent operation when at anchor.

The interiors of the Greenline 42

The collaboration with naval architects Micad has allowed for the development of this new hull, which reaches a maximum speed of 25 knots, offering stability and efficiency, synonymous with a comfortable and economical cruise. The contemporary style of architect Casali has enabled the creation of two bright and spacious layouts (Golden Teak or Silver Oak to choose from) designed to have a welcoming atmosphere. A master cabin at the bow and a guest cabin to the left; a bathroom to the right, with the option of a second bathroom for a solution with greater privacy.

Architect Marco Casali – Too Design

“With the new Greenline 42, we wanted to evolve the design without losing the qualities that owners already love,” said Casali. “The emphasis was on creating cleaner shapes, more contemporary living spaces, and a stronger connection between the internal and external architecture of the yacht.” 

Vladimir Zinchenko CEO of Greenline Yachts

“The demand for the Greenline 40 remains significantly strong,” said owner and CEO of Greenline Vladimir Zinchenko. “As the project developed, it became clear that the Greenline 42 was not a replacement but a new opportunity. Owners wanted a yacht positioned between 40 and 45, incorporating the latest ideas introduced on the Greenline 58. The result is a completely new model that expands the range and offers customers even greater choice.”

Saxdor presents the new and highly anticipated model that will be added to the shipyard’s range, the Saxdor 460 GTS, a new open variant. Following the great success of the Saxdor 460 GTC introduced at the beginning of the year, Saxdor Yachts, the fastest-growing shipyard in Europe, introduces this novelty set to make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

The entire 460 range has received an exceptional commercial response both in Europe and the United States, recording a sell-out for the 2026 production slots. While the 460 GTC features spacious interiors with the protection of a closed helm, the GTS is designed for owners who prioritize outdoor living without sacrificing the versatility and practicality guaranteed by a modern flagship.

Today’s boating experience is no longer just about the journey, but also about everything that happens on board, entertaining friends, enjoying long weekends at sea, or simply relaxing at anchor. The Saxdor 460 GTS is designed to maximize this expression of style, offering a versatile platform that blends sociability, ease of movement, and truly exciting driving dynamics, as we can find throughout the range starting from the 320 GTO.

Saxdor 460 GTS, en plein air

The optional sliding doors offer great flexibility depending on weather conditions, while the spacious deck layout enhances life on board. In perfect shipyard style, the 460 GTS provides an engaging driving experience with extraordinary efficiency, stability, and intuitive maneuverability.

“2026 has been a pivotal year in Saxdor’s journey, representing a defining moment in the evolution of our brand. Through continuous innovation, a clear vision, and a strong focus on our customers, we have created a new generation of Saxdor yachts and expanded our presence in the premium segment. The launch of our flagship family, which includes the 460 GTC and now the new 460 GTS, reflects our ambition to continue redefining the modern boating experience,” said Erna Rusi, CEO of Saxdor Yachts.

The shipyard will be present at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 8 to 13, 2026, at the Power Boat Marina in Port Canto, showcasing: 460 GTS, 400 GTC, 400 GTS, 340 GTWA, and 320 GTO.

The Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup lands in the Gulf of Naples: from September 24 to 27, the second Preliminary Regatta will see the debut of American Racing Challenger Team USA, although all eyes will be on the crews of Luna Rossa after their excellent performances in Cagliari.

It will be a true taste of the America’s Cup that will take place along the waterfront of Naples. A taste, but also a very important test, as the teams will step onto the official race course of the competition scheduled for 2027 for the first time.

Luna Rossa not only starts as the home team but also as the one to beat. In May, in Sardinia, several teams arrived at the first Preliminary Regatta with only a few weeks of preparation. Since then, training has intensified, setting the stage for a far more competitive and telling showdown in Naples.

America’s Cup: the protagonists to follow in Naples

The second Preliminary Regatta will allow fans to see two of the most anticipated teams in action: the defender Emirates Team New Zealand and the Challenger of Record GB1, a new project by Sir Ben Ainslie. The English, along with the Athena Pathway team, which combines youth and women, have refined their strategies training in Cagliari, while Emirates Team New Zealand continued their preparation in Auckland before moving to Naples for the summer training session with the two AC40s: one designated for the Principal Team and the other for the Women & Youth Team.

The confirmation of the participation of American Racing Challenger Team USA was a key step for the 2027 edition, which had risked being the first without a U.S. team. The return of an American challenge reflects both the extraordinary legacy of the Cup and a renewed ambition from the United States to compete once again at the highest levels of this sport, under the leadership of CEO Ken Read and sports director Giles Scott.

TUDOR Team Alinghi has continued its preparation in Barcelona under the guidance of Paul Goodison and will field only one crew in Naples. The Roche-Posay Racing Team has trained in Lorient, in the northwest of France, and will participate in the second Preliminary Regatta with its Principal Team, led by Quentin Delapierre. Team Australia, however, will be absent on this occasion.

America’s Cup Naples: the weekend format

On Thursday, September 24, the event will kick off with a practice race, but it will come to life the following day with the first three fleet races, starting at 14:13. The confrontation is expected to conclude around 16:00.

Three more fleet races are scheduled for Saturday, September 26, while only two are planned for Sunday. The two best teams will then advance to the final, with a head-to-head challenge in a single race, one against one, for the absolute title.

Luxia Yachts, a shipyard based in Turin, has launched the sport coupe Luxia 375 GTS and the open model Monaco 375; the latter will participate in the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show scheduled from September 23 to 26.

The Luxia 375 GTS belongs to that category of yachts that define a new lifestyle at first glance. Much more than just a boat, this 11.5-meter walkaround demonstrates that true luxury isn’t flaunted—it’s lived. On the sea, as in life, luxury is first and foremost an attitude.

Designed and built for those seeking a perfect balance between sporty character and refined elegance, the Luxia 375 GTS features a muscular appearance with a rigid T-top and a high-performance V-hull. At the same time, it impresses with the level of comfort offered both on deck and below.

Starting from the stern, the large beach area is one of the many key elements, transformable and designed to immerse up to about 20 cm below the water level, facilitating swimming, climbing back on board, and launching water toys. The living area, served by a well-equipped outdoor galley, allows for enjoying the sea in the spirit of conviviality and sharing.

A large telescopic central table can transform the entire area into a comfortable sunbathing space, very sheltered while navigating or into a shaded area, thanks to the telescopic awning with arms that, when opened, protects the entire zone.

The central unit is equipped with a sink and a cooking surface with a fridge; if necessary, a second fridge or an ice machine can be installed. The T-top covers the entire central area with a large surface that does not weigh down the sporty line of the Luxia 375 GTS.

The wide walkways allow for moving from stern to bow in total safety and comfort, even while navigating. Three steps separate the bow area where, upon accessing, we find a truly large space considering the length of the boat and its beam of just 3.60 meters. A comfortable sunbathing area for three people and the mooring area with the external barbette, the entire area is also bordered by a handrail that runs around the perimeter of the boat up to the center.

The helm console is served by three deep and wide seats derived from automotive design, the steering on the left is served by two 16-inch Garmin screens (optionally 2 19-inch Garmin screens with Full HD / 4K resolution). All the boat’s home automation can be controlled from the outside. The Mercury joystick and bow thruster greatly facilitate all mooring maneuvers.

Below deck, we find a living area that can transform into a large bow cabin, to the right a bathroom with a separate shower, a second cabin at the stern, and on the starboard side a kitchen served by a second fridge and a wine cellar for the finest wines. The area is very bright thanks to the large side windows and the hatch that also allows for easy ventilation if one does not want to continuously use the air conditioning system present on board.

Luxia 375, sea trial from Cannes to Varazze, 85 miles on board

This model is powered by two Mercury V10 350 HP engines; the sea today is slightly choppy with a wind from the south-southwest of about 8 knots. We leave Vieux Port of Cannes around 10:00 in the morning; the maneuver is really easy thanks to the joystick that, in shallow water, allows us to turn, enabling us to exit the channel smoothly despite the mooring being quite tight. Fenders up and just outside, we head towards the outer bay.

Luxia 375 GTS comes out of the water with unexpected agility. The bow rise is minimal, visibility at the helm remains impeccable at 360°, once out of the limits imposed between the islands, I try to increase the engine RPM, bringing it to 4500, to seek cruising speed; since we have about 85 miles to cover. In just over an hour, we arrive at Cala del Forte where we moor for a refreshing break.

Having crossed the Italian border, we set the cruising speed at 4,450 RPM with a speed of 27 knots; this allows us to cover the remaining miles in total relaxation. The hull works well with the water flow and, in this configuration, the boat shows its grand touring spirit of the sea: consumption stabilizes, onboard acoustic comfort is excellent, and the sea keeping allows us to enjoy the scenery in total relaxation, protected by the T-Top. Before entering the Marina di Varazze, there is room for one last test on pure speed: we push the engines to the max for a brief sprint. The Luxia 375 GTS responds with an exhilarating progression, reaching the threshold of 39 knots at 5,700 RPM. The hull does not pitch and remains stable on the wave.

Conclusions

The crossing from Cannes to Varazze confirmed the dual nature of the Luxia 375 GTS: a yacht with sophisticated design, perfect for day cruising, but with the hull, walking safety, and autonomy necessary to undertake medium and long-range cruises in total control and comfort.

The world of boating welcomes a new, interesting partnership between the young Spanish shipyard Simbad Yachts and HP Watermakers, the Italian company renowned for designing and manufacturing reverse osmosis desalination systems.

The Alicante-based shipyard has chosen to equip its first model, the brand-new sailing catamaran Simbad 55, with the HP SCA 220 desalination unit by HP Watermakers. This choice further confirms the Milanese company’s ability to meet the demands of vessels designed for long-range cruising, where reliability, autonomy, and uninterrupted onboard services are essential requirements.

The HP SCA 220 watermaker

The HP SCA 220 watermaker selected for the new Simbad 55 belongs to HP Watermakers’ SCA range and delivers a freshwater production capacity of 220 litres per hour.

One of its distinctive features is the RP-TRONIC system, the only technology capable of automatically adjusting operating parameters in the engine room and maintaining optimal pressure levels within the desalination unit. Thanks to a motorized, automatic micrometric precision valve, it ensures safe and efficient operation over time.

The AMCS (Automatic Membrane Conservation System) protects the membranes against bacterial growth, one of the main causes of clogging and reduced performance. Combined with the automatic washing cycle and RP-TRONIC technology, it automatically doses sodium metabisulfite during the rinsing process, extending membrane lifespan.

The system is completed by Part-NET, the user interface compatible with Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, B&G, and Lowrance chartplotters, allowing owners to monitor and control the desalination unit directly from the helm station.

Simbad 55, the first model of Simbad Yachts

The other protagonist of this new partnership is Simbad Yachts, young Alicante-based shipyard entering the world of offshore catamarans with the Simbad 55.

Measuring 17.59 metres in length with an 8.92-metre beam, this sailing catamaran features exterior and interior design by Franck Darnet, while the naval architecture was developed by Pierre Delion.

Below deck, owners can choose between two and five cabins, depending on whether the yacht is intended primarily for private cruising or charter use.

The Simbad 55 is available in three different versions. The entry-level Select already offers a comprehensive package including a painted aluminium mast and boom, polyester sails, two 110 hp Yanmar engines, a tender with outboard engine, and a teak deck in the aft cockpit.

The Ultra and Legend versions progressively raise the level of equipment with increasingly advanced solutions. At the top of the range, the Legend features a carbon mast and boom, Doyle Technora carbon sails, electric winches and furlers, large-format chartplotters, the Sea.ai anti-collision system for detecting obstacles even at night, and fully electrified deck hardware, including cleats and winches.

In terms of onboard comfort, both the Ultra and Legend versions come standard with the HP SCA 220 desalination unit, a water purification system, and air conditioning throughout all living areas.

Bluegame unveils the BG64, which completes the BG range while maintaining its distinctive architectural philosophy in the segment. The interior and exterior blend seamlessly, the BG64 stays true to its principles, fulfilling the brand’s ambition to offer “A Bluegame for every Bluegamer“. With three yachts already sold before its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the BG64 marks a new chapter for Bluegame as it enters a new era under the leadership of CEO Gianguido Girotti.

Bluegame has redefined the relationship between life on board and life on the water by using an approach unlike any other on the market; every Bluegame has challenged previous conventions, paving a new way in nautical design. The same excitement can be found in a more compact yacht, the new BG64.

Gianguido Girotti, CEO of Bluegame, stated:

“BG64 represents an important milestone for Bluegame. While having the privilege of presenting it to the world as CEO, this yacht is the result of years of vision, creativity, and dedication from the entire Bluegame team. With the strongest portfolio ever, ranging from 42 to 83 feet, there truly is a Bluegame for every Bluegamer today. The trust shown by owners even before the world premiere has been extremely encouraging, and we look forward to welcoming the entire boating community on board in Cannes.”

Luca Santella, Head of Product Strategy at Bluegame, added:

“From the very beginning, our goal was clear: how to bring the complete Bluegame experience into 64 feet without losing what makes our yachts unique? This became the guiding principle of every decision. The BG64 offers the same architectural openness, versatility, and connection to the sea that define our larger models, introducing these qualities to a new generation of owners. For us, the BG64 represents more than a new model: it is the moment when the Bluegame family is complete.”

Its extremely versatile stern facilitates contact with the sea, integrating a foldable side terrace, a large platform, and a crane on the port side, offering an exceptional level of functionality. The absence of barriers with the helm and internal living spaces creates an environment where mobility between yacht and sea becomes entirely natural. The upper deck of this Bluegame, naturally shaded and ventilated, can be fully enclosed to adapt to different weather and sailing conditions, providing owners with exceptional flexibility while preserving the distinctive character that has become synonymous with the BG range.

At the bow, a spacious lounge can be enjoyed as a sunbathing area, as a dining space, or as a private area to relax; the BG64 has been designed to ensure privacy while expanding the yacht’s livable outdoor space. The interiors designed by Zuccon International Project enhance the onboard experience by eliminating the boundaries between interior and exterior.

The BG64 will debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival next September, where visitors will be able to experience the exclusive and distinctive excitement of the Bluegame range live.

Monaco Yacht Show publishes the first official list of superyachts confirmed for its 35th edition to be held at Port Hercule from September 23–26, 2026, with the fleet reaching 120 vessels at the opening of the show.

“What this fleet offers to a client does not exist anywhere else in the world,” states Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige, organizer of the Monaco Yacht Show. “In four days and in one port, you can board forty-three yachts delivered this year, alongside the shipyards that built them and the brokers who will handle their charter, management, or resale. At a time when a new order at a leading shipyard involves a wait until 2028, if not beyond, this concentration gathered in one place, once a year — constitutes the first tangible benefit that the show offers to clients.”

Monaco Yacht Show, the 2026 class

Deliveries this year range from the A80 by Arcadia (23.98 m) to the Nixie by Lürssen (102 m), moored at Quai Rainier Ier. Damen Yachting alone delivers two: Pangea (80 m) and QU2 (60 m). Sanlorenzo presents Silver Fox (73.4 m). The average length and tonnage under construction reach record levels, and the construction slots of major shipyards are booked until 2028–2029 — making the yachts delivered in 2026 some of the rarest assets on the market.

The densest segment of the fleet is where semi-custom production meets charter economics, and it is dominated by the 2026 class: B.Now 50M by Benetti (50 m), the new Riva 54 Metri (54.84 m), Mangusta 165 REV by Overmarine (49.9 m), the Fast50 (50 m) and T60 (60.6 m) by Baglietto, 606 by The Italian Sea Group (50 m), Singolare by Tankoa (45 m), Gray Wolf by Mengi Yay (52.4 m), Majesty 145 by Gulf Craft (45.25 m), Even Further by Amer Yachts (41.45 m), Merinos by GX Superyachts (42.05 m) and Sirena Superyacht 42 Metre by Sirena Marine (42.23 m) are all delivered this year. Joining them in this segment are the benchmarks 58Steel by Sanlorenzo (58.25 m, 2024) and Pa’Lante by Heesen (55 m, 2025).

Between 30 and 40 meters, the 2026 class is equally important

AB110 by AB Yachts (33.7 m), Sirena 118 by Sirena Marine (36 m) — the second new entry for 2026 from the shipyard, with the first in the upper range —, M 38 by Maiora (37.1 m) and Lollipop by Moonen (37.4 m) gather around the Appontement Jules Soccal, while Palumbo Superyachts showcases three 2026 deliveries under two brands: Principessa Capricciosa by Columbus Yachts (38 m), Viper 130 by Isa Yachts (38.8 m) and, higher up the range, Sea Raider X by Isa Yachts (66.4 m).

Italian production at the Monaco Yacht Show

Wallywhy200 by Wally (27 m), the double launch of Princess Yachts with X90 (27.11 m) and Y95 (29.1 m), V by AVA Yachts (25.9 m) and A96 (29 m) and A80 (24 m) by Arcadia all showcase the 2026 vintage, while Arksen 85 (27.4 m, 2026) by Wight Shipyard brings to this same segment an ocean explorer capability, confirming that this year’s deliveries cover the entire range of the fleet and not just the upper segments.

Multihulls consolidate their position in the superyacht segment

Two of the four multihulls on display are 2026 deliveries — Ipharra II by Sunreef (29.37 m, 2026) and Eighty 3 by Lagoon (24.97 m, 2026).

Sailing maintains its place, with a fleet of seven sailing boats, four of which are recent deliveries: Simena by Ares Yachts (62 m, 2026) — the largest sailing boat on the confirmed list —, Grand Soleil 80 by Cantiere del Pardo (26.2 m, 2026), Raijin by Nautor Swan (38.98 m, 2026) and Magic by Vitters (44.3 m, 2025).

38 of the confirmed yachts are not presented by the builders but by brokerage and charter companies — a fleet of operational yachts whose launch years span four decades, from the mid-1980s to 2025. In the coming weeks, new yachts will be announced until the completion of the entire fleet of 120 units.

Santasevera retraces the 40-year career of its founder, Francesco Guida, whose extensive experience has enabled the shipyard to evolve its brand while successfully adapting to the demands of an increasingly competitive global market.

Four decades of international experience in the design and development of motor yachts now define the essence of Santasevera. This wealth of expertise continues to fuel new ideas and new projects. Thanks to his deep connection with the sea, Francesco Guida has built his know-how through countless hours on the water and by developing complex marine programs, playing a key role in shaping entire yacht ranges for leading brands throughout his career.

Santasevera and Francesco Guida

“Anyone who designs a boat must know the sea and experience it firsthand. Practical experience remains essential because a boat is not just an aesthetic object—it is a living space that must respond naturally and effectively to the way people actually use it“, says Francesco Guida.

The boating industry has evolved continuously over the past 40 years, undergoing dramatic changes in both yacht design and the way boats are used. Interior design, in particular, has experienced a true revolution, introducing innovative layouts that have redefined the very concept of life on board. Santasevera grows with its own identity based on the culture of independent design, where coherence, proportion, and user experience remain the central references of the creative process.

The shipyard’s yachts are clean, functional, and elegant, designed to retain their value over time rather than follow short-lived trends. The current lineup includes two models—a 42-footer and a 52-footer—with plans to expand into larger yachts in line with the brand’s international positioning. “The next model we’ll introduce is a 64-footer, which is already under construction. Our goal is to continue growing while preserving our distinctive design language across every size in the range“, Guida concludes.

Santasevera will exhibit at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 from September 8-13, where it will welcome visitors and industry professionals while presenting its vision and current model lineup.

BRABUS Shadow 1200 XC powered by Mercury Racing 400R, V10 5.7-liter engines with 400 horsepower each, for a total of 1,200 HP, 55 knots of maximum speed. A hull as black as night, the Black Ops Signature Edition is precisely a BRABUS graphite black with contrasting graphics. Almost 14 meters in length and over 4 in beam, the largest XC Cross Cabin ever produced in the German facilities, the V-shaped hull designed to cut through waves even at high speeds.

The Black Ops details

“Sign of Excellence”, glossy carbon fiber backs for the front seats, integrated RGB lighting on interiors, deck, and under the hull, premium JL Audio sound system, and the possibility to configure extra packages like Simrad Halo20+ radar, AIS receiver, and upgraded instrument panel with additional 9-inch screens. Details that make the BRABUS Shadow 1200 XC a true offshore racer despite remaining a “cruiser cabin”.

However, the soul of the Shadow 1200 XC is not just power and speed; it also has the ability to transform. The Cross Cabin layout allows for a transition from a closed and protected cabin to a completely open boat with a single command, opening the butterfly doors of the front cabin and the side doors of the hull, which flip outward, expanding the livable space in the center of the boat. Five distinct living areas: bow, helm, cockpit with bar area, stern, and front lounge, designed so you never feel cramped on board.

The Shadow 1200 XC Black Ops Signature Edition impresses for two reasons: performance akin to a supercar, with a thrust that rivals a true racer, and the livability on board that can be reconfigured based on the day, suitable for those looking for a muscular yet comfortable day yacht.

Greenline Yacht, the Slovenian shipyard recognized as the absolute pioneer of hybrid and ecological leisure navigation, has introduced the new Greenline 42, this model fits into the range between the classic Greenline 40 and the larger 45.

Onboard, the construction quality of Greenline Yacht is evident, with a spacious and ergonomic dinette featuring a cozy sofa served by a table that can be lowered to create an additional bed, while on the opposite side there is a modular cabinet that integrates a retractable television.

 The helm console is slightly raised, allowing for excellent visibility towards the bow and, thanks to large windows on the sides, navigation is greatly facilitated.

Descending three steps leads to the sleeping area, structured with two cabins: the owner’s cabin at the bow, equipped with a versatile double bed that can be converted into two V-shaped beds, and a second cabin on the left with separate single beds. A bathroom fully equipped with every comfort serves the area, while the shipyard offers various living configurations upon request.

Greenline 42, the sea trial

We leave the mooring without issues thanks to the maneuvering propellers, cross the channel to exit into open sea, respecting the speed limits, and appreciate the extreme quietness of the 2 Yanmar engines. Once outside the channel, we were able to test the GREENLINE 42 at various speeds, increasing the power of the engines and reaching a cruising speed of 15 knots, with instruments reading consumption of 26 l/h per engine, absolutely in line with 13-meter vessels equipped with these same engines. At this speed, the hull begins to plane, allowing for smooth and precise maneuverability, the use of flaps allows for a planing attitude even at medium speeds, thanks to the performing hull that Greenline adopts on all models. Having to give way to various water taxis navigating in the Venice lagoon, the extreme maneuverability was very useful and allowed us to navigate in sometimes very tight spaces.

Despite a wave of about 30 centimeters and the turns we made to understand how the hull handled the sea, the navigation was extremely pleasant: the hull design ensured a soft passage over the waves, without compromising speed and stability. The Greenline 42 combines extraordinarily comfortable living space with intuitive and light handling, all while ensuring exceptionally low consumption.
