40 Hybrid
2 Engines (2x Volvo Penta)

Diesel
Fiberglass/Reinforced
This 2021 Greenline 40 Hybrid is in like-new condition with only 90 hours on her twin Volvo Penta D3 diesel engines. Exceptionally well cared for and turnkey, she shows extremely well inside and out.
The Greenline 40 offers an incredible amount of living space for a 40-foot boat. One of the largest-living 40' boats I have boarded. The layout and features feel more like what you would expect aboard a much larger yacht, with a massive salon, covered side decks, two spacious staterooms, a large U-shaped lounge and an impressive aft galley that opens directly to the cockpit to create a full indoor/outdoor bar and entertaining area.

Hybrid Drive:
The Greenline Hybrid system combines the Volvo Penta D3 diesels with electric motors integrated into the shaft drive system. At low speeds, the boat can cruise quietly under electric power with the diesels completely shut down. When the diesels are running, the electric motors become generators and recharge the lithium battery bank while underway. This provides the flexibility of silent electric cruising around harbors and no-wake zones while retaining diesel power and range for longer trips.
Depending on speed, load and conditions, electric-only range can be roughly 20-30 nautical miles (23-35 statute miles) at displacement speeds. At approximately 7 knots, similar Greenline 40 Hybrid configurations have reported efficiency around 6 MPG, making this an exceptionally efficient cruising platform.
Specifications:
- LOA: 39' 4"
- Beam: 13' 11"
- Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D3 diesels

The Greenline 40 is a unique combination of space, efficiency, comfort and innovative hybrid technology. This particular boat's extremely low hours and like-new condition make it a standout example. Turnkey and ready to cruise.

Overview
The Greenline 40 Hybrid is a thoughtfully designed vessel that integrates hybrid technology to extend range, reduce engine maintenance, and enhance usability. This review focuses on the boat's features, highlighting both its innovative hybrid aspects and practical design elements that contribute to a comfortable and efficient boating experience.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The cockpit of the Greenline 40 Hybrid offers generous open space, measuring 6 feet 4 inches fore and aft and 7 feet 4 inches between the two seats, with an overall length of 11 feet 9 inches forward. The standard decking is non-skid, complemented by an optional teak package that extends up the side decks to midships, with teak cap rails that can be replaced with composite material if desired. Seating is provided at both corners, with storage beneath one seat and shore power connectivity with a basin for the shore power cord beneath the other. An optional bench seat can be installed to increase seating and storage, allowing both forward and aft-facing positions. The transom platform, which is manually operated via a rope and winch system rather than hydraulics, extends nearly three feet of additional cockpit space when lowered and provides access to both sides of the bench seat. The cockpit also features two large storage compartments capable of housing a 10-foot foldable rib. Boarding doors are conveniently located on both port and starboard sides, and while the stern cleat serves as a springline cleat, its position could be improved to avoid lines crossing the gate. Moving forward, the side decks are equipped with grab handles and overhead protection, with a 35-inch rail height that lowers to 26 inches at the bow, surrounded by a 6-inch toe rail. The bow lounge measures 7 feet by 4 feet 5 inches, includes beverage holders, and features a pop-up bimini that does not obstruct helm visibility. Recessed side windows provide a visor effect from the trunk cabin roof, and the cockpit overhead clearance is 6 feet 11 inches. A sliding door and fold-down window create a seamless connection between the interior galley and the cockpit, enhancing versatility and serving capabilities.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior of the Greenline 40 Hybrid is designed to be open and airy, with large windows that extend from high to low, providing excellent visibility and an overhead clearance of 6 feet 3 inches. The layout features an aft galley, a wraparound settee with a table on the port side, and additional counter space with storage on the starboard side. The galley offers ample counter space, including an extendable section, a two-burner induction cooktop with compatible cookware provided by Greenline, a recessed sink set in Corian countertops, overhead and under-counter storage, a microwave, and a stand-up refrigerator freezer opposite the cooking area. A notable feature is the recessed trash receptacle integrated into the counter, which accommodates full-size trash bags and is accessible from an external hatch, allowing waste disposal without carrying trash through the interior. The port side seating area includes L-shaped seating around a solid wood table, with upholstery options in vinyl or leather. The table can be fixed or adjustable in height to convert the area into a berth and is removable to access the engine hatches below. On the starboard side, there is extensive storage including bottle racks, open counter space, and a TV mounted on an electric lift. The seating is exceptionally comfortable, and the expansive windows provide excellent sightlines from seated positions, enhancing guest comfort. The interior finishes are crafted from golden teak, with options for white oak and walnut, featuring fine joinery and leather pulls on cabinetry.
Private Accommodations
The Greenline 40 Hybrid accommodates two staterooms and one head. The master stateroom is located forward, offering 6 feet 5 inches of headroom and natural light from overhead windows and two opening port lights on each side. The berth can be configured as a single or split into two twins, with hanging lockers on both sides and additional storage beneath the windows and mattresses. A 24-inch flat-screen TV is mounted on the forward bulkhead. The craftsmanship continues here with elegant joinery and leather handles designed to prevent snagging. The head is situated starboard of the master stateroom and features a separate shower and dual entrances, allowing it to function as a dayhead as well. Opposite the head, the guest stateroom contains two single berths that slide together to form a queen, a seat, a hanging locker, and storage beneath the windows. Ventilation is provided by an opening port light and upper windows, maintaining a bright and airy environment.
Hybrid Features and Power Management
A key highlight of the Greenline 40 Hybrid is its advanced hybrid system, which includes six 300-watt solar panels installed on the roof. These panels efficiently charge the onboard batteries, as demonstrated during a four-day boat show where the vessel maintained 97% battery capacity despite running one of three air conditioners, all lighting, and refrigeration continuously on a sunny day in South Florida. This capability allows the boat to operate for extended periods without connecting to shore power or visiting a marina. The hybrid system also enables propulsion on electric power, though detailed performance in that mode is covered in a separate review.
Conclusion
The Greenline 40 Hybrid presents a well-rounded package that combines innovative hybrid technology with practical and comfortable living spaces. Its spacious cockpit, versatile interior layout, and efficient power management system make it suitable for extended cruising with reduced reliance on shore power. The quality of craftsmanship and thoughtful design details throughout the vessel contribute to an inviting and functional boating experience.
