Northrop & Johnson is proud to announce its latest yacht builder partnership with the innovative GX Superyachts brand in the Americas market. The brand will be represented by Northrop & Johnson Yacht Broker Ali Tanir.

Construction work on the first hull from GX Superyachts is already well-advanced at SES Yachts in Istanbul, Turkey. This 138′ (42m) model features an aluminum hull and superstructure. It is designed for ultra-efficient hybrid propulsion. With a refined hull shape and a massive solar array, the yacht will have a carbon footprint that is 60 percent smaller than a conventional model of the same size. GX Superyachts builds strongly on the expertise of its sister company Greenline Yachts, which leads the market for hybrid yachts up to 58 feet.

“Since the launch of GX Superyachts in Monaco last year, we have received lots of attention and potential sales leads,” said founder and owner Vladimir Zinchenko. “We were hoping to make a big splash, but the response has been overwhelming. That is why we have taken the important step of joining with a big brokerage house that shares our values and has a particular focus on the American market.”

Northrop & Johnson will be the sole broker for GX Superyachts in North and South America. The first of this model has already been sold to a European owner.

“As we mark our 75th year in business, it’s tempting to reflect on our achievements. But we firmly believe that the biggest challenges lie ahead of us, with an urgent need to foster environmental and social sustainability,” says Northrop & Johnson President & CCO Cromwell Littlejohn. “That is why we are so pleased to represent GX Superyachts, whose stance on responsible yachting backed with green technology is a beacon for the industry.”

Work is progressing right on schedule for the first GX42 in Tuzla. The hull was turned just before Christmas, and the superstructure was fitted soon afterward. Machinery, piping and wiring trays go in next, with delivery still slated for early summer 2026 – just in time for the cruising season.
