Fairline Yachts first ever Winter Showcase Event in Palma
Getting the year off to an imaginative start, British luxury boat builder, Fairline Yachts, offers inspiration to escape mainland Europe…
Greenline Yachts has completed its first yacht sale entirely in Bitcoin. The Greenline 45 Coupe was purchased at boot Düsseldorf 2025, with the transaction finalised in early February. While Greenline has accepted Bitcoin payments since 2018, this marks the first fully digital payment.
The buyer, introduced by Yacht Partners International, secured an express build slot for June delivery. The funds, initially held in Bitcoin, were converted into euros through BitPay, a cryptocurrency payment processor with European regulatory approval.
Intriguingly, the buyer originally purchased Bitcoin when its value was around $0.03 per coin and has since seen it rise to over $100,000. On the back of this three-million-fold growth, he has decided to set new standards for his quality of life—including buying the Greenline 45 Coupe.
The yacht will be kept in Greece, where its solar panel array can provide up to 13.2kWh on sunny days, enabling extended periods at anchor without generator use. Instead of a third cabin, the owner has opted for an onboard office space.
Greenline Yachts continues to focus on hybrid propulsion, solar power, and sustainable materials in its designs, aligning with its philosophy of responsible yachting.
