Review: Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht

The World’s Largest Hybrid Production Yacht

Unique concept.

Some of the most significant technological advances are fostered by people or corporations with the courage to start with a “blank slate”. Products emerge that respond to the question, “What might be possible if we think outside the box?”

We mariners of a “certain age” can clearly remember a time when yachts were powered only by internal combustion engines, sails, or a combination thereof. Electric propulsion was limited to short-range electric outboards intended for use in skiffs and dinghies. “Everybody knew” (or thought they knew) that larger vessels would forever be gulping embarrassing amounts of fuel or subject to the vagaries of the wind. It “would be impossible” to design a yacht around any other concept.

About 15 years ago, Greenline Yachts dared to think outside the box. Greenline has launched over 600 boats with either all-electric or diesel-electric hybrid drives , making them an unchallenged leader in the electric and hybrid yachts field. While other builders are still trying to figure out the technology, Greenline continues to perfect a proven and patented concept.

The smallest Greenline Yacht is a 33-footer , and there are additional larger models . The largest diesel-electric hybrid production yacht built anywhere in the world is the Greenline Ocean Class 68 .

Ocean Class is far more than a brand name. Since 1998, all vessels sold in Europe are required to qualify for a CE rating. Yachts and boats are classified in categories A, B, C, and D. Only the most stoutly constructed yachts of sturdy design will qualify for CE category A often referred to as “Open Ocean” capable. The Greenline Ocean Class 68 qualifies for a CE A rating, meeting or exceeding standards that require a vessel to be capable of navigating the open ocean, and withstanding winds exceeding Beaufort 8 (“Gale force, 34-40 knots”) and waves of more than 4 meters, (about 14 feet). In summary CE class A defines a vessel capable of being “self-sufficient in hostile seas”.

Many yards can deliver a yacht built to CE Class A standards. Many yards, including Greenline Ocean Class, can deliver Class A yachts with luxurious features and elegant design. But only Greenline 68 Ocean Class delivers a vessel in this size category with the versatility of a hybrid drive system , or the additional safety associated with unequaled redundancy.

Exterior Features and Design

The Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht is a proud presence at the dock. From every angle of view, the design of the hull and superstructure meld into a form that has a nautical character and visual appeal. Generous freeboard, a high bow with an obvious stormy weather flare, as well relatively low rise on the forward section of the superstructure affirm that the CE Class A rating was designed into this hull from blueprints on up. Stateroom windows below the sheer line are designed to be unbreakable by the worst imaginable seas.

To board the Greenline 68 Ocean Class from a standard dock or float, the easiest access will be across the swim platform. There are boarding doors on the port and starboard side of the cockpit, but the high freeboard would require a boarding ladder except from a fixed pier. The swim platform provides the first glimpse of the gorgeous, sold teak decking, used extensively on the exterior of the Greenline 68 Ocean Class . The swim platform has fold away chocks, permitting stowage of up to perhaps a 14-foot dinghy. The platform is hydraulic, so the dinghy is launched by simply lowering the shore boat into the water and retrieved by literally lifting it out.

A transom hatch opens from the swim platform to the “Crew Quarters”, with the machinery room through yet another bulkhead forward. We’ll revisit these areas later in the review.

Molded fiberglass steps, overlaid with teak decking, gain the cockpit from both the port and starboard sides of the swim platform. One of the prevailing characteristics of the 68 Ocean Class is the presence in every imaginably necessary location of large, stainless rails. This is a vessel upon which one can move around safely in high seas.

In the aft corners of the cockpit are matching hydraulic winches and cleats. Certain to be useful for managing stern lines when docking under less-than-ideal conditions, or holding a position along the wall when “locking through”.

The cockpit is one of three “outdoor” gathering areas aboard the Greenline 68. There is protection from the elements with the overhead hardtop, with built-in lighting. A signature design element of the Greenline 68 is the use of solid, 3-inch-thick slabs of solid hardwood for tables throughout, including the table fronting the cockpit seating and affixed to the teak deck with strong, stainless legs. Stunning, sturdy, and practical- the tables aboard a Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht are indicative of the builder’s design concepts.

There is vertical access to the crew quarters from a hatch concealed in the transom seating, as well as a machinery room hatch immediately forward of the transom table.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the cockpit area is that it is not necessarily separate from the galley in the main cabin. Folding doors create a full opening between the starboard half of the cockpit and the main cabin, and a drop-down partition drops down to create a serving bar between the galley and the cockpit. Someone can be working in the galley, turning out some appetizers or fetching some beverages, and remain fully involved in the conversation and socializing.

Teak steps on stainless supports gain the flybridge from the cockpit. One evidence of thoughtful design on the Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht is that the flybridge helm is to port, while the lower helm is to starboard. Docking to starboard, use of the lower helm with the pilot door open permits full view of the starboard side of the boat and the dock. Docking to port, using the upper helm (with the swim step visible down through the companionway stairs) permits full visibility for side ties or stern-to-moorings. There is fine visibility over the bow from the upper helm. There are, of course, cameras available as well.

Forward of the upper helm station is the sun lounge. While the rest of the flybridge is protected by a stylish hardtop, Greenline realized that one area in which people would want direct sunlight would be a sun lounge and that portion of the flybridge is open to solar radiation. A settee with a teak dining table is to starboard, opposite the flybridge helm.

Immediately aft on the “boat deck”, (which will more likely be used for socializing with a dinghy on the swim platform chocks) is a super-functional entertainment center. An electric grill, a sink, a refrigerator, and an icemaker will facilitate entertaining in this area. The classy atmosphere is maintained, with the same genuine teak decks and large diameter stainless railings found throughout the deck areas of the boat.

Back on the main deck and moving forward toward the bow, it’s easy to appreciate the high bulwarks topped with stout railings. One can easily visualize going forward on these decks, perhaps carrying something in hand, without fear of slipping over the side. The aft portions of the side decks are protected with an overhang from the flybridge. One of the hundreds of thoughtful touches on a Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht is the use of a stainless steel “shield” around every cleat. Mooring lines won’t chafe against the fiberglass hull, with a dirty result.

The foredeck is well laid out for practicality as well as leisure. Two anchors may be mounted, with copious amounts of all chain rode stowed in port and starboard lockers. The windlasses are hydraulic, rather than electric. The starboard rode locker houses a washdown system with which to blast away any mud or crud when hauling the anchor long before it can come aboard.

Seating on the foredeck includes a sun lounge, with a reversible backrest that provides a headrest for a person laid down with feet forward and slides backward to create a backrest for people facing another row of foredeck seating immediately aft.

There is plenty of stowage for lines, fenders, and other miscellaneous deck and docking items in lockers below the seats on the foredeck.

Interior features and design

The most common entrance to the interior will be through the stainless doors between the cockpit and the main cabin.

The most common remark among people coming aboard will probably be “Wow!”

Interior finishes are simultaneously functional and elegant, in a well-planned and practical layout.

In the aft port quarter of the main cabin, a galley features all electric appliances, including a dishwasher. Miele ™ appliances are a common choice. There are an abundance of lockers and drawers for stowage, as well as a handy “coffee garage” in the extreme aft of the galley. Upper galley lockers have built-in “retainers” that will prevent contents from spilling out if the Greenline 68 encounters rocky seas. Solid surface countertops have raised edges to prevent any random spills or drips from escaping down the joinery or finding the cabin sole in a seaway. The induction cooktop, electric oven, and seriously efficient vent hood are to port in the galley, with the molded sink and faucet facing aft from the 90-degree return immediately forward. Garbage and recycling may be sorted in a dedicated space below the sink.

Opposite the galley, to starboard, is another of the solid hardwood slab tables Greenline features on the 68 Ocean Hybrid Yacht. One of the first items likely to be noticed upon entry from the aft deck, the table sets a high bar for a visitor’s expectations; a bar that the builder proceeds to clear with relative ease.

Up two small steps from the galley and dining area are a cabin with the lower helm to starboard, and a well-designed settee to port. Just to starboard of the companionway is a built-in wine cooler and behind that a very impressive, push button operated two-tier service bar that disappears into a space behind the wine cooler underway and emerges to become an entertainment center in port or at anchor.

Forward of the wine cooler and concealed service bar is a fixture with stowage for wine glasses, a couple of generously proportioned drawers, and a TV screen that disappears into the fixture when underway. Again, with Greenline building the 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht with a full expectation that it might see some truly offshore conditions, there’s a recessed area for video remotes or other items which might otherwise go flying in a beam sea.

Large windows with electric blinds and thoughtfully engineered overhead lighting will enhance any mood or provide maximum visibility from the main cabin.

The lower helm is next to a positive-sealed pilot door, which is electrically operated (with manual backup). Electronics aboard the Greenline 68 Ocean Hybrid Yacht are fully integrated with the diesel and electric drive systems . Hydraulic bow and stern thrusters are standard.

Sidepower ™ “zero motion” stabilizers are controlled from the lower helm- permitting a very steady experience underway or at anchor.

Three staterooms, and three heads, are down the companionway steps forward of the lower helm.

A guest stateroom is immediately to starboard at the base of the companionway steps. Two single bunks, (which appear capable of sliding together to make a double), head up against the aft bulkhead. Large stainless portlights introduce some natural light to the compartment and can be opened for ventilation. A hanging locker, with a lighted garment rail, provides more stowage space than many people expect in a guest stateroom.

The guest stateroom has individual access to the semi-private “day head”, immediately forward. The day head includes sink, marine toilet, and a shower stall- and is additionally accessed by a door at the base of the companionway steps.

Most forward on the lower deck is the VIP stateroom, adequately roomy and sufficiently deluxe to put the “master stateroom” on many lesser yachts to shame. Immediately noticeable are the windows to both port and starboard. The design and bracing mullions of the shatterproof glass are of sufficient structural strength to not jeopardize the CE A rating of the Greenline 68 Ocean Class Yacht.

The VIP stateroom includes a centerline queen berth, two hanging lockers, built-in sound and video systems, and a private head with deluxe fixtures and a tile shower.

The master stateroom is a full-beam design, with about seven feet of standing headroom. The same extraordinary windows seen in the VIP stateroom grace the master, allowing open views and high light levels when desired. A variety of additional light sources, including lighting at the cabin sole, are available to render the ambiance “just right.” There are “his and hers” hanging lockers, a “ship’s office,” a set of wardrobe stowage drawers to starboard, and a settee to port.

The ensuite head for the master stateroom includes premium fixtures and a “two-person” tiled shower.

Crew Quarters and Machinery Room

A couple of steps off the swim platform and through the dogged-down transom hatch are the “crew quarters.” At 68-feet, most owners would not actually employ a crew- but the additional bunk space and compact ensuite head might prove handy for guests partying on the swim platform. Another practical application would include a situation where a licensed captain operated the boat as a charter vessel.

Immediately forward of the crew quarters is the machinery room. There is room to locate a diesel generator, but unless an owner intends to spend many days at anchor without starting the engines a generator is not a necessity aboard the Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht. Large battery banks, and solar panels on the hardtop over the flybridge, will keep the all-electric systems on the vessel powered for extended use.

Lithium-ion batteries flank both sides of a diamond plate walkway. The batteries create a 145-kWh reserve of power. A pair of 60 kW electric motors drive the propeller shafts when the diesel engines are not running, and conversely switch into generator mode to charge the battery banks when the diesels are engaged.

With a close-to-silent “stealth” capability, battery-only range is approximately 20 nautical miles, at typical trawler speeds of around 8 knots. And with an optional second battery the range increases to an impressive 40 nautical miles. Various diesel options are available, and a pair of 1000-HP Cats are said to be capable of driving the boat at speeds up to 25 knots.

With the ability to select electric power for slow-speed operation and high speeds provided by the diesels, the combustion engines aren’t subjected to the disproportionate wear and tear that slow-speed operation extracts from diesels. It’s also possible that the small additional initial cost of a hybrid yacht will be more than offset by improved resale value- the main engines will have many fewer hours when the vessel eventually changes hands.

And of course, redundancy is incredibly enhanced with two complete power systems, one diesel, and one electric, with which to power the Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht.

Remember that “blank slate” and “thinking outside the box”?

The builders of the Greenline 68 Ocean Class Hybrid Yacht not only succeeded in making the yacht innovative and different, but they also created a product which (with its CE A “open ocean” rating) is structurally better than many competing models. Fit, finish, features, layout, systems, and specifications are beyond exceptional.

In an era where the entire world is paying more attention than ever to environmental issues, the Greenline 68 very directly addresses concerns about efficiency and sustainability. Improved fuel efficiency, effective use of solar panels , fewer emissions, and nearly silent cruising when in electrical mode make this yacht truly unique.

Greenline Yachts: The Complete Guide to Greenline Yachts

Green by name, green by nature.

A relatively new entry to the boating industry, Greenline Yachts has revolutionized yachting with a range of innovative and environmentally friendly features. This is boating that does not cost the earth.

The History of Greenline Yachts

Greenline Yachts was launched in 2008. As all great ideas do, they began life on the drawing board. Greenline yachts became a bestseller just one year later, selling more than 550 units of their Greenline 33 in over 28 countries. Its dedicated team of engineers and designers had built a safe, comfortable, and elegant boat.

But it did not stop there. In 2010, just two years after their launch, Greenline’s maiden production, the Greenline 33, became an international bestseller. New boats followed rapidly in 2011, 2013, 2016.

In 2019, the Greenline 48 Coupe premiered in Dusseldorf, Germany, where it amazed onlookers. Since then, the company has grown and continued to innovate, inspire and raise the bar. Who knows what the future holds for this firebrand?

The features of a Greenline Yacht.

Innovation. Innovation. Innovation. Ever since their introduction of the first-ever hybrid boat, which combined diesel and electricity, in 2008, Greenline has revolutionized the boating industry. They have set the bar as a pioneering, forward -thinking, and game-changing boatbuilder. Their vision is to shape the future of boating into environmentally sustainable and, in doing so, establish themselves as the most responsible boat brand in the world.

The designers at Greenline know that their customers want to be at one with the ocean. They want to plunge themselves into the big blue, explore it, conquer it, all without leaving a trace, preserving it for future generations to enjoy too. With their expansive range of hybrid and fully electric boats , this dream is made a reality.

Each model is powered by renewable sources of energy and fitted with solar panels, so it won’t be only the passengers who are soaking up the rays! Greenline yachts use organic boat wash and biodegradable rubbish bags, as well as being built of eco-friendly fabrics, such as PET foam core, grass paper, and recycled materials.

But this is at no sacrifice to speed or performance. Greenline Yachts boasts a range of innovative technological features that will ensure you stay top of the pack. Greenline Yachts are the only range of yachts currently in production that offers H-Drive as well as E-Drive; they have built-in vacuum infusion technology. In contrast to conventional yachts, this means that their boats have optimal weight and robustness, higher quality of material, alongside being kind to the environment.  

Low centers of gravity ensure that the utmost levels of safety and comfort are maintained on and below the deck . This comes from Greenline’s technical mastery in placing all the heavy components of the boat in the deepest part of the hull , which renders the vessel more impervious to rolling and increases stability – even in the choppiest of waters!

Of course, all Greenline models are built to a highly sophisticated level. They harness the best of modern technology, especially in tooling and prototyping, and the inherited wisdom of the past in handcrafting to build arguably some of the world’s most advanced boats. Tradition and experience blended seamlessly with the cutting-edge and futuristic.

The Greenline Range

Here at  Boatsetter , we are proud to offer a range of Greenline Yachts for rental. In fact, they are a key part of our  new ecological and green  boating rentals.

Despite its age, Greenline Yachts flaunts an impressive product range in the world, with nearly 8 models currently on the waves (although more are in the pipeline). There is the entry-level Greenline 33 Flybridge series up to the 68 OC. The 33, 39, 40, 45 Coupe, 45 Fly, 48 Coupe, 48 Fly, and the 68 OC.

Thanks to Boatsetter’s  peer-to-peer  boat renting service, sampling one of these beauties has never been easier. Rentals typically come with a knowledgeable captain and crew to guide you on an exciting yacht charter adventure. Boatsetter has Greenline Yachts which are available from multiple sites across the United States, Europe, and beyond. Many of Boatsetter’s rentals offer the opportunity to enhance your experience with jet skis, electronic surfboards, and sea bobs. Time to hit the waves.   

The Greenline 33   

Where it all began.

 Measuring in at 32’9″ (9.99m), the Greenline 33 is a splendid yacht containing 1 salon (plus an optional bunk ), 7 berths and 1 bathroom. It has a fuel capacity of 132 gal (500L) and can hold 80 gal of freshwater (300L).

The Greenline 33 has a hybrid and electric drive and conventional diesel options, true to their pioneering spirit. Its Volvo Penta D3 can deliver speeds of up to 11 knots and 170 HP. Their decade of experience in hybrid engines means that this is the ideal system for performance and efficiency while ensuring that your passengers remain comfortable on the deck.

A signature feature of the Greenline 33 is its Aft Galley , which combines the cockpit and galley into a fabulous and inviting social area. There is no single step between the bathing platform and the helmsman position to ensure one level of living throughout the boat.

And with 360-degree panoramic views from the inside, natural light will delight your senses!

The Greenline 39

The big brother of the 33, the Greenline 39 is beefy with a beam of 12’4″ and accommodation for up to six people. Friends, family or business colleagues, you name it, you can bring them. Wishing to lavish your passengers in comfort and grace, the designers at Greenline have fitted the 39 with a bank of solar panels, which you can use for all the boat’s appliances, whether you are at sea or having a drink at the port . Even better, this means that the boat does not make a sound. No noise. No vibrations. No emissions. No disturbances. Nothing. Just you …

And the seagulls.

The 39 has high-performance LiPo Batteries 2 x 13.3 kWh in its hybrid edition, which have a charging rate of 8 kWh/day. Depending on your energy management and the weather conditions, this translates as 2 days on anchor, while using the full range of appliances that a family needs, including laptops, TVs, fridge and stove. Still, the non-hybrid is built with efficiency in mind. It consumes approximately 6.5 kWh/day for 4 people in a 24 hour period.

Looking at the exterior of the yacht, the cockpit and side decks are sheltered to afford your passengers maximum security and protection so that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy the weather. Plus, the Helmstand side door provides safe maneuvering throughout the boat.

The Greenline 40

The family favorite.

Biggest of all, the series provides the perfect venue for you to sit back with your family and enjoy. No work. No-fuss. Just sheer relaxation and comfort. With 2 cabins, a large salon, and a maximum of 6 berths, the Green 40 can cater to families of all shapes and sizes. And with a fuel capacity of 185 gal (700L) and water tank of 106 400L, there is no need to worry about running dry.

The Greenline 40 enjoys all of the Green technologies that makes Greenline so, well, green. It has 4 high performance LiPo batteries that allow the whole family to stay connected and entertained for 3 days on anchor. For those with more restrained usage, this can be more. Nonetheless, available as a diesel, electric or hybrid drive. This is a boat with green credentials.

For when the sun is dipping below the waves and it is time to relax, the Greenline 40 has an adaptive owners cabin , which supports a multiplicity of sleeping arrangements.

The Greenline 45 Coupe

Say hello to the ocean’s solar power plant.

Available as a Diesel Drive, Hybrid Drive or Electric Drive, the Greenline 45 can accommodate up to eight people with 2 or 3 spacious cabins, depending on customisation, and has two bathrooms. One of these cabins – yes, you guessed it, the master cabin – is full beam, meaning it is nearly 5 metres wide. What a treat. Its diesel tank has a large capacity of 396 gal (1,450L) and 159 gal (600) of freshwater, besides plenty of black water for whatever your needs.

Get ready to impress your guests with the homely natural wood table in the salon, and walk-in closet, and walk-in wardrobe for both cabins. Let the fashion shows commence.

But the Greenline 45 Coupe does not stop there. Like the previous models, it has EDrive technology. Built-in partnership with Torqeedo, this revolutionary technology provides silent, emission free propulsion along the waves, and integrated energy manages to run the boat’s domestic supply efficiently and ecologically. This is complemented by SIMRAD Navigation Electronics , complete with an extra-large navigation dashboard for your viewing pleasure. 

Enough of the tech stuff. There is also a hydraulic bathing platform which can be raised or lowered to ensure easy, safe access to the waves.

The Greenline 48 Fly

Independence at its finest

On the outside this boat is unmistakable. It will turn heads at the port. Thanks to its smartly designed covered sidewalks, the flybridge on the yacht is extra-large. It is wider than most of the other boats in its class. =

Greenline knows that a holiday should be relaxation par excellence. This is why they have developed extra wide and protected side passages, with side doors that aid speedy jumping on and off the ship, and an extra protective hardtop option that is enriched with additional solar panels. While the traditional side anchor is standard, Green also offers the option for a boat anchor.

Full-sized freezer? Check. Wine cooler? Check. Extra-large owner bed? Check. The convertible salon of the Greenline 48 Fly, with an adjustable table, offers the opportunity to transform the main dining area into extra berths for when your guests want to hit the hay.

Below deck, the Greenline 48 Fly has 2 x Yanmar 8LV320 engines that generate speeds up to 20 knots and have 320 HP each. This will allow you to cruise at the perfect pace. There are 3, optionally 4, cabins and a maximum of 6 berths, 2 in the salon, and another. Besides, there are 3 bathrooms.

Still curious? Watch the renowned yachting critic  Boat Test  try one out.

The Greenline 68 Ocean Class

The extraordinary just got even more extraordinary.

The biggest yacht ever made by Greenline, the 68 Ocean Class is a force to be reckoned with. This yacht demonstrated to the world that the shipyard was knocking its boat, building up a gear. Read the  reviews  here!

If you want luxury, that remains environmentally sound, then look no further than the flagship of the Greenline Yachts family: the 68 Ocean Class. 

Taking the open-plan to the next level, the world-class yacht has Greenline’s signature Aft Galley, which combines the cockpit and galley in a magnificent space for socializing. During the daytime, the whole interior of the boat is flooded with natural light due to the 360-degree panoramic windows. And for when the sunsets (or is high in the sky), there is an expansive wine cooler in which you can stow away your favorite bottle – or two.

Alongside providing extra protection to the craft, the 68 Ocean Class has a hardtop on the flybridge, which coincidentally creates an excellent diving platform. Ready to impress your crush? Just make sure that the water is deep enough.

68′ 3″ in length and with a 17′ 11″ beam, this behemoth will dominate any port or harbor. Or, if you fancy getting away from it all, the boat would be the perfect companion for you to visit your favorite coastline. Italy, Miami , or the Bahamas – you decide.

Demystifying yacht classification A, B, C, D

N.B. For your information, a more recent article was published on 24 Oct 2022 on the same subject, click here for direct access.

Demystifying yacht classification :  Class A, B, C and D

Since 1998, CE certification is required for all recreational boats entering or being sold in Europe obliging boat manufacturers to respect certain building and security standards.  Therefore, yachts ( boats ) are classified into four categories depending on their aptitude to confront navigational conditions taking into account both force of the wind and height of the waves.  The categories are not to limit the area and distance of navigation (that is defined by security equipement onboard) but  to  sensitize the owner and/or captain of the boats capacities to navigate in complete security.

Let us start with the Beaufort Scale.   A scale for classifying the force of the wind ranging from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane).   It was devised by an admiral in the British Navy, Francis Beaufort, to uniform the description of the effect of different winds at sea.

There is a direct link between the Beaufort scale and boat classification.   For discussion purposes, we will use only the 6, 7 and 8 forces.

A Class A yacht ( boat ) is a vessel that is built to navigate the open ocean and surpass a force 8 on the Beaufort scale and surpass waves higher that 4 meters.   These yachts are constructed to be self sufficient in hostile seas.

A Class B yacht ( boat ) is a vessel built to navigate on the offshore waters (200 miles and less) and can substain UP TO force 8 and waves UP TO 4 meters.

A Class C boat is a vessel built to navigate inshore such as lakes, rivers, bays and close to the shore and can sustain UP TO force 6 and waves UP TO 2 meters.

A Class D boat is built for protected or sheltered waters such as canals, rivers, small lakes and sustain a force 4 and waves UP TO .3 meters (less that 1 ft).

With this said, you can understand that the Class A yacht ( boat ) respects a rigorous building code more so than a Class B and so forth.    But regardless of the class, it is strongly discouraged to navigate in a force 7 for the reasons of safety and comfort as « pleasure » should always be on the agenda.  Always consult the weather forecast prior to leaving any port and check hourly the weather situation.

Classification is very important and should be on your question list before purchasing any boat or yacht.

Classification rules are developed to assess the structural strength and integrity of the essential parts of the hull, the reliability and function of the propulsion, steering systems, power generation and all the other features installed on board which contribute to guarantee the main essential services of yacht.

Also for a class A, the portholes will be more resistant against a sustained wave, the drains to evacuate the water more abundant and of good size, the joints of the hull more hermetic, in short everything is in place to prevent water from s’ infiltrate on board.

By way of information, let us quote for example all the Ferretti yachts (60 to 96 feet), Pershing (60 to 115), the Riva (44 to 122) are all of class A just like the Magellano range at Azimut including also the 66 Flybridge.

Ferretti yachts (500, 550, 670 fly and over), Pershing (7X and over), Azimut Yachts (62, 64, 66, 68 Fly and over, the Sport Series 7X and over, all Magellano) are Class A.  There are also other classifications such as RINA and American Bureau of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, Det Norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd, Lloyd Register, that are more precise regulations and we will cover this later in another article.

Below is the graph of the Beaufort Scale along with photos.

Four Seasons Unveils First Yacht Itineraries and Suite Interiors

Four Seasons loyalists have a lot to be excited about, with the launch of the brand’s first yacht nearing in 2026.

The 14-deck luxury vessel, which is partly being modeled off of Aristotle Onassis’ iconic yacht Christina O , will offer some of the most opulent amenities at sea. Initial renderings released in October 2023 show a 66-foot saltwater pool, a marina deck built for swimming and watersports, sophisticated dining concepts, and 95 guest suites. Now, the Four Seasons has released the first renderings showcasing the spacious suites on board—and we got a first look.

The ship's sleek design seeks to translate “the Four Seasons guest experience in terms of comfort level and the luxury standards" to life at sea, Fredrik Johannson, partner and executive director of Tillberg Design of Sweden and the lead designer on the Four Seasons Yacht, tells Condé Nast Traveler. Even the hotel group’s beloved mattresses will be offered in every room.

The first renderings of the Four Season Yacht's suites were released Tuesday, showcasing spacious guest rooms with ocean views.

Also just revealed: the first destinations the yacht will call upon throughout its inaugural year. Passengers can expect to visit a wide variety of exclusive and jet-setting locales, as the yacht is slated to visit more than 130 destinations across 30 countries in its first year alone. And of course, guests will have the option to book pre-and-post cruise extensions at iconic Four Seasons resorts along the way.

“We’re incredibly proud to announce the first itineraries aboard Four Seasons Yachts, and know that these experiences will exceed our guest expectations when we set sail in 2026,” says Alejandro Reynal, Four Seasons President and CEO.

Each voyage calls upon small ports that are typically considered “yacht playgrounds," Thatcher Brown, the Chief Commercial Officer at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD and co-owner of Four Seasons Yachts, tells Traveler. Passengers can expect to sail between Caribbean and Mediterranean coastal havens almost exclusively visited by private vessels .

When the yacht launches in January 2026, it will first head to the Caribbean, where it will complete seven-night, island-hopping itineraries between St. Barths, Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao, and Aruba.

Then in March 2026, the ship will cross the Atlantic and begin sailing its Grand Mediterranean voyages , which include visits to alluring towns in Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Travelers can also expect to access “under-the-radar” Greek islands , like Ios and Milos, as well as more popular Grecian destinations like Athens and Santorini, according to a Four Seasons release.

Guests will have the option to adjoin suites to accommodate families or other groups traveling together.

Sure the destinations sound glamorous—but it might be difficult for passengers to depart the ship and leave behind the luxe accommodations on board. Specifically the guest suites—which will offer 50% more living space per guest than any other competitor currently at sea, according to the company’s release.

Each space will offer floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the sea, bathrooms with double vanities, and large closets. “Almost every single bed on this whole yacht is facing the sea,” Johannson says. “All the rooms there have this clarity to them. They are very exclusive, but they have a beautiful simplicity.”

Every suite will also offer private outdoor terraces. What’s more: guests will have the option to adjoin suites to accommodate families or other groups traveling together. There are more than 100 different adjoining configurations, including the option to reserve the entire side of a deck—an opportunity that would afford a group of travel companions more than 13,000 square feet of living space.

The Four Seasons Yacht will be divided between Funnel and Loft Suites, each with private outdoor terraces.

But the true showstopper on board is sure to be the Funnel Suite. Located on the very top deck where the funnel or smokestack would traditionally be, the Funnel Suite is essentially the ship’s penthouse, spanning four floors and 9,975 square feet. The massive space will feature three bedrooms and a terrace with outdoor dining space, splash pool, and outdoor showers. But the suite’s best amenity will be its views. The four-story, floor-to-ceiling windows have been fitted with the largest piece of contiguous curved glass at sea, offering sweeping 280-degree views of the ocean as the yacht sails from port to port.

Voyages on board the Four Seasons yacht haven’t yet opened for general booking, but interested travelers can join the yacht’s waitlist in hopes of securing one of the elegant suites on the 2026 itineraries.
