Over the past decade and a half, hybrid propulsion has come on leaps and bounds. Perhaps surprisingly, in our increasingly environmentally attuned society, combining diesel engines
with electric motors and battery banks was considered a radical idea as little as 15 years ago.
Fast forward to 2025, and hybrid technology powering yachts has matured significantly. Here, we speak to Vladimir Zinchenko, CEO of Slovenia-based Greenline Yachts and its
recently-launched brand, GX Superyachts (unveiled at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show) and discover more about the latest advances in hybrid propulsion, harnessing AI to further
environmental aims, and avoiding the dreaded ‘greenwashing’ in yachting.How has hybrid propulsion advanced since the inception of Greenline Yachts 16 years ago?
Sixteen years ago, we pioneered hybrid propulsion in the leisure boating segment by introducing our Greenline 33. Since then, systems have become more compact, efficient and easier
to operate. Battery capacity has increased, charging times have decreased, and energy management is smarter

As the Mediterranean cruising season gathers momentum, demand for yachts is surging – particularly for vessels ready to cruise at short notice. In recent weeks, Edmiston has
reinforced its leadership in the market with a record-breaking performance: with 16 yachts sold within a 16 week period, in total, the firm has sold 800 metres of yacht length,
generating over €500 million in sales.
This unprecedented brokerage success is matched by a fresh wave of standout listings. Most notably, Edmiston has brought two major names to market: the 115-metre Ahpo, Lürssen’s
award-winning flagship, and the 57-metre Dream from Abeking & Rasmussen, which returns to the market for the first time in a decade. Among other notable vessels are the 55.5-metre
Moon Sand from Lürssen, the 50-metre Ohana, and the 46-metre Excellence V.

In today’s superyacht landscape, luxury is no longer solely defined by a yacht’s design or the exclusivity of the destination. True luxury lies in the seamlessness of the
experience – where every detail has been anticipated, and guests can immerse themselves in the moment with complete confidence. And yet, one of the most vital elements underpinning
this experience – security – is often overlooked, misunderstood, or introduced only as a reactive measure.
Having spent over two decades in the security and risk management space, including elite maritime military units, and working alongside Royalty, Government officials,
ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and private crews, Ben Gavins, Director of ARX 360, has seen how expectations around superyacht security have evolved. “We’re not
just providing protection,” he explains. “We’re integrating into a lifestyle. It’s about intelligent movement, emotional intelligence, and understanding the rhythm of life on

Denison Yachting has expanded its operations in Europe to meet the growing demand for yacht sales and charter services. With Monaco as its European headquarters, the company is

name Safari and features amenities such as a touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck, two tender garages and an innovative balcony in the VIP stateroom that slides out from the
superstructure. She is powered by twin MAN diesel engines, each producing 5,099 horsepower, allowing for a cruising speed of 20 knots and a maximum speed of 22 knots.
