Numarine has delivered a new explorer yacht to a client from Turkey. This is the 12th unit of the 26XP Series. The new 26XP yacht has a standard layout with four large guest cabins below. This vessel is a displacement version with a bulbous bow powered by twin 560 hp MAN engines. Also, there are several new features which have been added upon the owner’s request. The explorer has an extended Carbon Fibre hard top covering the flybridge and 44.5 square meters of solar panels with a total power of 7530 watt-peak on top. The solar panels accumulate additional power from this sustainable resource. It has only one big generator with extra Lithium batteries.
“The new launch confirmed our leading position in the explorer market,” said Omer Malaz. “In 2020, according to Boat International and Superyacht Times, 15 full displacement explorer projects over 24 meters in length have been completed, launched and delivered to owners. Five of these 15 deliveries were by Numarine, which makes us the leader among European builders.”
26XP is modern with angular windows and a vertical bow and carries the DNA of a larger model, the 32XP. Numarine’s long-term collaborator Can Yalman designed the 26XP’s exterior and interior. Naval architecture is by Umberto Tagliavini. Designed to offer the same capabilities as her longer sisters, the 26XP’s smaller draft allows her to berth in shallow harbors. The yacht has a well-proven and efficient hull, especially designed for ocean cruising.
The 26XP’s sophisticated interior is spacious and refined. There are four large guest cabins belowdecks. The master suite is large enough to have a dedicated study to starboard, a lounge to portside and a vast bathroom in addition to the king-sized bed and plenty of storage space for long cruises. There are also two VIPs and one more twin cabin.
The 26XP has a 55 sq. m flybridge. The second console unit and another dining area in the front are partially enclosed by the radar mast, while the rear sun lounge is a fully open space and nothing obliterates spectacular views from this terrace, which is only a few meters above sea level.
The flybridge is big enough to provide storage space for a 3.5m tender. The spacious guest areas; modern, stylish and sophisticated interior; maximum build quality and efficient propulsion; and her naval architecture make Numarine 26XP one of the most desirable sub-30m yachts on the market.
The displacement version of the 26XP has a maximum speed of 13.5 knots and a cruising speed of 9 knots.
Numarine, a European high-performance motor-yacht shipyard headquartered in Istanbul, offers a range of yachts from 19m to 45m.
