Numarine is celebrating the successful world debut of its all-new 30XP superyacht. The launch marks an exciting new chapter for the Turkish shipyard, which has always specialised in stylish, steel-hulled explorer yachts that are capable of going off-grid for extended periods. That’s because the 30XP is the first Numarine designed with a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion.

Filling a neat mid-sized gap in Numarine’s line-up, the 30XP has taken its place in a seven-strong fleet that runs from 22–45m. Existing Numarine owners have been particularly supportive of the project, which was first unveiled in September 2022 to mark the shipyard’s 20th anniversary. Since then, four units have been sold off-plan, proving that the design is bang on target for the brand.

As with previous models, Can Yalman is the primary designer for both the exterior and interior of the 30XP yacht, with its raised pilothouse design chosen for its highly efficient use of volume. Ofist Design Studio, based in Istanbul, is the interior design collaborator for this model.

All about the space

With a large internal volume of 208 gross tons, the exact layout of the 30XP is flexible enough to cater for most demands and can be adapted to suit the requirements of individual owners. But this is also a yacht with ample external space on deck, from open air dining on the aft deck to lounging on the covered sundeck. The yacht’s design prioritises creating a strong connection with the outdoors.

Alongside the private balcony accessed via the master suite, which is the perfect spot for enjoying the serenity of surrounding bays, other stand-out areas on board the 30XP include her master cabin office space. This features a generous study desk facing full-sized windows for the ultimate peaceful working environment.

Meanwhile, guests can also enjoy the generous headroom of her semi-open beach club at the stern. Fold-down wings on either side enlarge this space to 46 square metres and provide more options for water sports and swimming. And a side-loading tender bay to port can house a diesel tender of 5.65 metres. This is design at its very best, with the airiness of the beach club achieved by raising the deck above. The knock-on benefit is to create a unique lounging area above, reached up just three steps from main deck level, but offering the feel of a platform suspended above the sea.

Four large cabins await the guests on the lower deck

Rounding out the exterior space is the flybridge, which has the area and features of a much larger yacht. Hull number one made full use of this flexible space, with a large U-shaped bank of deep sofas and an intimate eight-person table. There is room for a wet bar, and the side decks lead forward to an immense area of sunpads. There is the option for solar panels in the hardtop, which seems almost to float on its fine stainless-steel supports.

Guests are accommodated on the lower deck, where there are four large cabins. On hull number one, these are configured as two VIP doubles with king-size beds and two standard doubles – all naturally ensuite. All four also benefit from large hull windows that run nearly the full width of the cabin, bringing natural light streaming in and offering fantastic seascape views.

Hybrid technology

Power to the 30XP can be provided by either a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system or a conventional drive train comprising twin 560hp MAN engines. Both give the same maximum speed of around 13 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. The 30XP has an estimated range of 3,000 nautical miles at an economical speed of 8 knots.
