Description

2011 Greenline 33 with a sailboat-like bow of “Super Displacement” hull of lightweight infusion construction – extremely efficient.

Converted to modern technology, long-range, long duration, endurance live-aboard Cruiser.
Better than new as technology has evolved since then and she?s been refit for long-distance cruising.

A Bonsai MegaYacht.
The owner just did Miami to Bimini 5-6 knots in rough pounding seas – burned 10 gallons of diesel for 50 miles headwind and opposing waves.
Lived on board for 10 months total time in 3 seasons in the Bahamas as far as Long Island.
No expense was spared on the boat given their long-term reliance.
Being fully independent in the far Bahamas demands that nothing break or fail. Photon has been modified to that outcome.

Energy independent: 1680 watts of new panels on the roof gives plenty of electricity.

Water independent: 10 gallons/hour watermaker gives plenty of freshwater for toilet and showers.

Huge double storage areas for long-term provisions.

Marina stays don’t require services. But more importantly, far out-islands at a remote anchorage for weeks where no trace of humans or civilization is anywhere on the horizon in any direction and still enjoy live US TV feeds, ice cream, freshwater showers, and fresh bread from a breadmaker.

Photon is owned by 2 ex-Tesla engineering employees and maintained by a current Tesla mechanic and former VW/Porsche mechanic who is a rare and perfect combination for our VW TDI and electric motor.

The Hybrid electric propulsion systems consist of batteries, photovoltaic panels, and the eMotor – all of which are new.

All forward maintenance has been accomplished on the Diesel.
-Electric drive is new in 2020.
-Batteries all-new 2023.
-Solar panels all-new 2023.
-The entire driveline was replaced in 2017.
-No leaks under the engine bay – no coolant, no oil, no diesel, no salt water. just dust as proof that it hasn?t leaked.

Most importantly, just returned from 6 weeks living aboard and a month in the Bahamas with all the gear prepared for the season so she’s ready to go now. Other boats have various problems and a new buyer will need to spend time learning and solving these carry-over issues instead of setting off.

This boat is ready to go on the great loop or the Bahamas or coastal cruising right now!

Salon and Galley
Step through a sleek sliding glass door from the sun-kissed cockpit, greeted by a warm, inviting salon bathed in natural light. The L-shaped galley stands ready to starboard, equipped with a dual burner induction stove, microwave, stainless steel sink, and ample storage tucked away in cabinets and drawers.
- Keep drinks icy cold in the spacious stand-up refrigerator/freezer. Ample storage in cabinets/ drawers as well as under salon seating ensures everything stays organized and within reach.
- For those moments when you want to truly connect with the open air, the large glass window lifts up seamlessly, blending the galley and cockpit into one breezy expanse.
- The helm seat serves double duty in this space. While underway the seat is in its up position but when it's time to gather around the dining table the seat drops to create an L-shaped seating configuration that seats six comfortably when the drop-leaf table is extended. A creative and practical way to maximize useability in both spaces.

- An upgraded, 32in 4k TV in the salon area combined with diffuse LED spot lighting, new carpet, and cleaned cushions make this a great place for movie nights when the sun has set.

This isn't just a salon; it's the heart of the boat, a space designed for living, for connection, and for creating memories that will last a lifetime.

One of the outstanding features of this design is the galley aft (and at the same level as the deck), this brings the center at meal times to the deck and open outside with the raised glass window aft and open sliding glass door - rather than other designs where the galley is pushed down below and cut off.


Helm
The helm is forward of the dinette on the starboard side with a large companion seat, easy access to the controls and electronics as well as 360-degree visibility.

- Raymarine Chart-Plotter with GPS/Depth/Speed. Note: The Main Chartplotter is the original Raymarine and should be upgraded.
- Raymarine Radar
- Raymarine Auto Pilot
- AIS/VHF Radio
- Side-Power Bow Thruster Control
- Anchor Windless Control

Cabin
Descend three steps from the vibrant salon and enter the tranquil owner's cabin. This private space promises both comfort and convenient access, making it the perfect escape after a day of adventure on the seas.
- Choose your layout: a classic V-berth configuration for two singles, or push the beds together to create a spacious queen-size haven for couples.
- Stow your belongings with ease in two generous hanging lockers and convenient bedside cabinets.
- Natural Light filters through wrap-around windows giving the cabin ample lighting with curtains for privacy.
- Ventilation is crucial for tropical cruising. Many boats are closed and require constant air conditioning which keeps their owners in marinas. Photon is always cool with forward scoop hatch and center opening windscreen hatch which immediately equalize outdoor and indoor temps. With continuing ventilation and thermal barrier curtains, keeping cool and away from Marinas and shore power is easy. Still, there is an AC as well which cools the boat down in minutes and keeps everything dry throughout the night.
Imagine waking up to the gentle rocking of the waves, sunlight streaming through the windows, and the vast expanse of the ocean just a step away.

Head
The head offers dual access either from the companionway or from the owner's cabin.
The head has an electric flush toilet, a stainless sink,  H&C shower, and ample storage cabinets.   New teak floor plate. New electric flush head.

Engine Compartment
This clean engine room is more than just a functional space; it's a testament to the thoughtful care and continuous maintenance of a meticulous owner.
No leaks under the engine in the drip tray.   - A large hatch in the main cabin sole grants unimpeded access to the engine and surrounding components. No more contorting your body to reach that elusive part– you can now maneuver around the engine with ease.
- Second Access Point:behind the stairs to the companionway there is an alternative entry point to the engine room. This added flexibility ensures you can approach the engine and other components from
whichever angle best suits the task at hand.
- Sound Shielding: The engine is nestled within an acoustically shielded box,
significantly reducing noise while underway.


Deck and Hull
Step aboard and embrace the feeling of complete security and confident movement that defines this vessel's deck and cockpit. Designed for both relaxation and adventure.
- Enjoy peace of mind knowing you can navigate anywhere on deck with ease. The walk-around side deck, coupled with high gunnels and a sturdy stainless steel grab rail, provides a stable and secure platform for every stride. Whether tending lines, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the fresh air, you'll always feel confident and in control.
- Unwind or entertain in style within the cockpit. Two built-in seats with discreet storage compartments offer comfortable seating, while two large cockpit lockers provide ample space for all your gear.  Add some folding teak director chairs to complete the area or use it as a tender space while underway.
- Expand the cockpit with ease, simply press a button and watch the transom electronically lower, expanding your cockpit space by an impressive 4 feet. Prepare for unforgettable moments with friends and family in this versatile outdoor oasis.
- Anchoring is a breeze thanks to the electric windlass and remote located on deck as well as the helm.
- Keep your gear and surfaces clean with the freshwater washdown system integrated into the bow lockers.
- Transform your bow into a private sundeck oasis, perfect for basking in the sun and savoring the stunning seascapes.

This deck and cockpit aren't just functional spaces; they're an invitation to experience the joys of life on the water with confidence and comfort. Imagine casting a line from the secure perch within the gunwales, hosting laughter-filled evenings in the cockpit, or basking in the sun on your private bow sundeck. This is where memories are made, and Photon is ready to take you there.

Notes from the owner
Most cruising gear is on board and included with the sale.
Also includes the Main cabin table, stateroom door, thousands of dollars in engine spares and hoses, and assorted boat stuff in storage.

Teak decks forward need repair or removal for flexi-teak or other non-skid (maintaining teak on the foredeck is an issue due to sun exposure). Side and aft teak is fine and should be retained.
The e-motor potentiometer setting is finicky in electric drive.
The water heater works but the circuit breaker/connection is not good - have a new breaker - has not been installed yet.
Time to re-caulk some areas where the caulk has degraded.


Starlink
Starlink V2 Dish/Router included in sale which fits perfectly in roof mount. The V2 dish is not the current hardware but it is directional and consumes 50..30% less power - about 25-50 watts as compared to 50-75 watts. With the boat's existing electrical system, Starlink can be left on all the time - but currently set to sleep between 10 pm and 6 am.
With the inclusion of the Starlink hardware and mount, Photon is a ready-to-go solution with 250Megs/second capacity and plenty of power to keep it on all the time feeding phones, tablets, TV, games, and of course real-time navigation, weather and safety comms
