Numarine launches 40m flagship
SHARE
The Turkish builder of long-range explorer superyachts has completed the first hull of its new 40MXP ‘Mediterranean Explorer’.
Numarine has launched the first unit of its new 40m flagship, the 40MXP, with the new ‘Mediterranean Explorer’ tag reflecting the beach-club lifestyle typical of the Med region. The Turkish shipyard is scheduled to deliver two units of the 40MXP to owners by the end of this year, while at least one more is in build.
An evolution of the 37XP and the new flagship of the XP series, the 40XMP has a significantly enlarged aft deck, due to both the yacht’s increased hull length and by moving the saloon’s aft sliding doors slightly forward.
The large aft deck includes alfresco dining, an outdoor lounge, a bar and a glass-backed pool aft overlooking a hydraulic swim platform spanning the yacht’s 8m beam. The expanded outdoor area can be shaded by an awning to provide protection from the sun, ideal for warmer climates such as Southeast Asia and Australia.
Ömer Malaz, Numarine’s Chairman, said: “Preserving the same stylistic cues and DNA of all our models, the 40MXP retains our high-volume, low-maintenance, long-range ethos while offering a number of new design features that enhance the intimate connection with the sea that a yacht provides.”
The 40MXP retains the explorer DNA of the shipyard’s XP series, with an optimised hull form developed by long-standing naval architecture partner Umberto Tagliavini and a 6,000nm range at eight knots. Standard propulsion is provided by twin 800hp MAN engines, with the option to upgrade to a Tier III-compliant configuration with 900hp MAN engines.
Can Yalman designed both the exterior and interior, where accommodation can be arranged across six suites for up to 12 guests, including a full-beam master on the main deck, along with two additional customisable cabin spaces.
The 40MXP includes the expansive flybridge, and generous upper and main decks seen on the 37XP, which has proved a commercial success. The 40m superyacht also offers a substantial tender deck capable of carrying a 9m tender and three full-size jetskis, with additional space for water toys.
Chris Gore, Numarine’s Sales & Marketing Director, said: “We are extremely excited to have delivered the first unit of the 40MXP. Our new flagship offers true luxury blended with versatility, be that for family or charter use, while maintaining our core Numarine DNA.”
