Numarine has made waves in the luxury yacht industry with the debut of its first hybrid explorer yacht, the 30XP, at the Cannes Yachting Festival in late September. This milestone marks the beginning of a cleaner, greener future for the European yard, pushing the boundaries of sustainable luxury yachting.
A Hybrid Explorer Yacht for a New Era
First unveiled in September 2022 to celebrate Numarine’s 20th anniversary, the 101-foot 30XP yacht stands out as the centerpiece of Numarine’s seven-strong lineup, which ranges from 72 to 148 feet. As with Numarine’s other sleek, steel-hulled explorers, the 30XP was masterfully designed by Turkish-based designer Can Yalman. What sets it apart is its innovative propulsion system.
The 30XP offers two powertrain options. Owners can choose between a hybrid setup with two electric engines and four 108 kW diesel generators or a traditional drivetrain featuring twin 560 hp MAN engines. Both options deliver similar performance, with a top speed of 13 knots, a cruising speed of 10 knots, and an impressive 3,000-nautical-mile range at 8 knots. However, the diesel-electric hybrid option is far more efficient, reducing fuel consumption, emissions, and running costs, making it the ideal choice for eco-conscious yacht owners.
Numarine has also gone beyond propulsion to embrace sustainability. The 30XP incorporates eco-friendly materials throughout its design, as well as advanced waste management and recycling systems, making it a truly modern, green explorer yacht.
Exceptional Comfort and Innovation
Built for long voyages in comfort and safety, the 30XP offers cutting-edge features for seamless cruising. Chairman Ömer Malaz describes it as a yacht made for exploration, with advanced stabilization, high-tech navigation, and smart home systems. Its raised pilothouse design provides a spacious 208 GT interior, rivaling larger yachts while delivering luxury on long journeys.
Collaborating with Istanbul-based Ofist Design Studio, Numarine has created a refined and inviting interior that exudes Scandinavian simplicity and functionality. Natural stone floors, pale oak paneling, and sisal rugs come together to create an ambiance of understated elegance. Every detail reflects a blend of minimalist aesthetics and high-end comfort, designed to enhance the yacht’s open, airy feel.
The standard layout includes a main deck owner’s suite, four guest cabins below, and crew quarters for five. The first hull features two VIP suites, two double cabins, and a lavish owner’s suite with an office and balcony. The layout is fully customizable to suit individual preferences.
Luxurious Outdoor Living Spaces
The Numarine 30XP shines both inside and out. The main deck salon opens to expansive outdoor areas, including a plush alfresco dining space on the aft deck and a semi-open beach club with fold-down wings for seaside luxury.
The spacious flybridge rivals larger yachts, ideal for relaxing or hosting guests. A standout feature is the side-loading tender bay, designed to hold a 19-foot runabout for added on-water adventure.
A Greener Future for Yachting
With the 30XP, Numarine proves sustainability can coexist with luxury and innovation. This hybrid yacht is a game-changer, offering eco-friendly features without sacrificing style, comfort, or performance.
Leading the shift toward greener yachting, the Numarine 30XP embodies a new era of sustainable luxury. Perfect for those who value both adventure and eco-conscious innovation, it strikes a balance between modern technology and timeless elegance.
