What truly sets MAKIN' MEMORIES apart is how thoughtfully she is designed for comfortable, practical cruising.
Her current owners particularly appreciate the wide walkaround side decks, which make moving around the vessel and handling lines at the dock much easier. The nearly level transition from the cockpit into the salon, along with comfortable stairway access to the flybridge rather than a vertical ladder, creates an exceptionally user-friendly layout.
The flybridge features a desirable forward-facing bench seat, allowing guests to enjoy the cruising experience alongside the captain, while the primary stateroom offers the comfort of a king-size bed.
MAKIN' MEMORIES also delivers impressive flexibility underway. Her owners report economical cruising at approximately 8-9 mph, with the ability to comfortably cruise at 17-18 mph when conditions and schedules call for additional speed.
With both upper and lower helm stations, a convenient side access door at the lower helm, and bow and stern thrusters, she offers multiple advantages when maneuvering and docking.
For extended cruising, the benefits continue with generous storage throughout, a dishwasher, EdgeStar combination washer/dryer, Spectra Watermaker, and an extensive AGM battery bank.
Together, these features make MAKIN' MEMORIES a particularly appealing choice for buyers seeking the comfort of a larger yacht without sacrificing the practicality needed for America's Great Loop.

Greenline 48 Fly: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Greenline 48 Fly with hybrid drive offers a distinctive boating experience centered around innovative technology and thoughtful design. The hybrid propulsion system not only influences the boat's handling and performance but also enhances its onboard features, contributing to a quieter and more efficient operation. This model emphasizes spaciousness, comfort, and sustainability, making it suitable for extended cruising without reliance on shore power or generators.
Interior Living Spaces
The salon of the Greenline 48 Fly feels more expansive than its actual size due to a generous 6 foot 9 inch overhead and large windows that extend down to the tops of the port and starboard settees. To port, a U-shaped settee surrounds a walnut table with a matte finish, which can be adjusted from cocktail to dinner mode. The table includes a reversible panel with a beverage holder. Opposite, the starboard loveseat provides additional seating, complemented by a 40-inch TV on an electric lift with both remote and physical switch controls. A hatch in the wood-grain deck conceals a utility room housing a washer-dryer combo and optional freezer space. The C-shaped galley serves as the central hub for food preparation and socializing. It features a solid surface countertop with a raised lip, two deep sinks, a two-burner electric stovetop, overhead storage, and below-counter appliances including a dishwasher and microwave oven. A pantry and full-size refrigerator freezer are located opposite the galley. A multifunctional backsplash doubles as a serving bar when the aft window is raised, facilitating service to the aft deck.
Exterior Design and Deck Areas
The aft deck features an optional teak table with flip-over cup holders and a long bench seat, all protected by ample headroom of 6 feet 10 inches and an electrically actuated shade operable by switch or remote control. To starboard, a 21-inch wide walkway with steps leads down to an optional hydraulic swim platform measuring four feet fore and aft and nearly full beam. This platform lowers into the water for tender launching or serves as a private beach area, with convenient steps and a shower wand for rinsing. The foredeck includes 17-inch wide side decks with overhead protection and fiberglass bulwarks rising 30 to 36 inches, topped by handrail rails. The main feature is a triple-wide sun pad equipped with built-in cup holders and a folding awning for shade. The aft section of the sun pad lifts to create a shaded lounge, while the forward section converts into a bench seat on the trunk cabin, which also incorporates a window to bring natural light into the master stateroom.
Flybridge and Upper Deck
Accessed via stairs from the aft deck, the flybridge offers a spacious entertaining area with a teak table and a large U-shaped settee on the starboard side. Opposite is a fiberglass counter with an electric grill and sink, beneath which are a refrigerator and wastebasket space. The forward backrest of the settee flips aft to create a forward-facing seat for guests to accompany the captain. The test vessel was equipped with an optional hardtop providing 6 feet 5 inches of headroom. A large sun pad measuring 73 by 62 inches is located aft on the flybridge, enhancing relaxation and socializing options.
Private Accommodations
The forward master stateroom benefits from abundant natural light through three side windows and four opening port lights in the trunk cabin. Despite the overhead hatch being covered by the bow sun pad, the cabin offers 6 feet 8 inches of standing headroom and 3 feet 11 inches of clearance over the 83 by 75 inch bed, which is accessible via steps on either side. Storage is well considered with cabinetry and cubbies integrated into the bow flare, shelves beneath port lights, and two hanging lockers. A 24-inch TV is mounted on the aft port bulkhead. The master berth is available in fixed double or a more versatile split V-berth configuration. The boat employs a split head arrangement with the starboard side housing a water closet, sink, cabinet storage, and an opening port light, while the opposite side contains a separate shower stall with bench seat. Guest staterooms mirror each other with twin berths measuring 32 by 77 inches, hanging lockers, en suite wet heads, and large windows. Headroom in the starboard guest cabin is 6 feet 7 inches at entry, decreasing between the beds. Both guest heads are divided into two sections, providing separate toilet and shower areas, and serve as day heads accessible from the passageway.
Power and Performance Features
The hybrid drive system significantly enhances the boat's operational efficiency and autonomy. During testing, the vessel maintained 92% battery capacity after four days of continuous use at a boat show, running one of four air conditioners, all lighting, and refrigeration without shore power or generator assistance. This endurance is supported by six solar panels on the roof, each producing 350 watts, enabling extended periods of off-grid operation. The hybrid system contributes to a quiet onboard environment and improved ride quality, underscoring Greenline's commitment to sustainable and practical boating solutions.
Conclusion
The Greenline 48 Fly with hybrid drive presents a well-rounded package that combines innovative propulsion technology with spacious, comfortable living areas and versatile exterior spaces. Its hybrid system not only improves performance and handling but also supports extended off-grid cruising through efficient energy management and solar power integration. The thoughtful layout of both private and social areas, along with attention to detail in materials and functionality, make this yacht a compelling choice for those seeking a modern, sustainable boating experience.
