Eyachts Wins Greenline Dealer of the Year Amid Rising New Zealand & New Zealand Demand for Hybrid Propulsion
Eyachts, the exclusive distributor of Greenline Yachts in New Zealand and New Zealand, has been named Greenline Dealer of the Year and awarded Best Marketing & Content Creation at the prestigious Düsseldorf Boat Show. This global recognition comes as Greenline’s responsible yachting philosophy continues to gain momentum across the region, with New Zealands and Kiwis leading Greenline sales worldwide, making Eyachts the top - performing dealer.
The range of yachts sold includes Greenline 39s, 40s, 45s, and 48s,with deliveries across Queensland, Western New Zealand, New South Wales, and Auckland, as well as overseas handovers in Slovenia and even the USA, where an New Zealand couple plans to cruise the Great Loop.
Responsible Yachting on the Rise
The rapid adoption of Greenline Yachts reflects Kiwis and New Zealands' growing interest in hybrid propulsion and responsible yachting. According to Peter Hrones, Managing Director of Eyachts, this shift aligns with Greenline’s vision of delivering yachts that blend innovation with efficiency.
“Greenline’s philosophy resonates deeply with New Zealand and New Zealand buyers. Many of our Greenline owners are experienced boaties who now prioritise shelter fromthe sun, stability on the ocean, and easy one-level living,” said Hrones.“The ability to cruise quietly using hybrid propulsion and solar power is a game-changer for those who want an effortless and enjoyable experience on the water.”
Why Eyachts Won Greenline Dealer of the Year
According to Alessandro Lorenzon from Greenline, Eyachts’ success comes down to its dedication to both sales and brand-building:
“Receiving two awards in the same year is an outstanding result. Thanks to Eyachts’sales push and expertise, they ranked #1 for orders received in 2024 globally. This shows how well they have communicated Greenline’s philosophy, quality, and unique selling points to their customers. “In addition, Eyachts produced the most original content—from walkthroughs to blogposts to owner interviews—actively contributing to our brand value and awareness.”
The Greenline Difference
Greenline Yachts stand out for their combination of hybrid propulsion, solar energy systems, and smart design, making them ideal for modern, responsible boating enthusiasts.
Key features that resonate with owners include:
Why Owners Love Greenline
Gordon and Fiona, proud New Zealand owners of a Greenline 39, recently shared why their new boat has exceeded expectations:“It’s like having a floating apartment,” Fiona Hobbs said.“The way the kitchen benchfolds down to create a bar area is just brilliant—it makes entertaining so seamless. We love lowering the transom to use it as a swim platform, and there’s so much storage and spaciousness, even for someone as tall as 6’6”."
For Gordon, Greenline’s hybrid propulsion was the deciding factor:
“We’ve always been sailors, so the idea of a fully diesel-powered boat didn’t sit rightwith us. We wanted the comfort and convenience of a motorboat but without compromising our values. The Greenline’s hybrid propulsion was the perfect solution—it gave us the efficiency and sustainability we were looking for. Over three months ofcruising, we’ve only logged about 40 engine hours, which shows just how effective theelectric system is.”
European Delivery Growing in Popularity
More New Zealands are embracing the idea of a European delivery, allowing them to cruise the Adriatic and Mediterranean in the comfort of their own Greenline before Eyachts facilitates the journey home to New Zealand.
Greenline’sSixth-Generation Hybrid Propulsion
As the only yacht manufacturer offering a full fleet with hybrid propulsion, Greenline continues to lead the way in innovation. Their hybrid system combines the benefits of electric motors for silent cruising with dieselengines for longer voyages.
Looking Ahead
With responsible yachting gaining traction, Eyachts is leading the shift towards eco-conscious luxury on the water. Their success in bringing Greenline Yachts to New Zealand & New Zealand highlights the region’s growing demand for smarter, cleaner, and more efficient ways to explore the ocean.
