Numarine reported progress in the construction of its new superyacht, which will become the new flagship in 2025 with the launch of the first unit. The hull of the 40MXP project has been turned and moved to the shipyard for outfitting.

“It’s a big milestone for our new model’s construction and I’m happy to confirm we’re on track with the delivery in 2025 as it was planned initially.” said Murat Şen, General Manager of Numarine. “I’m happy that the market has exhibited a positive response to this model, with a notable influx of interested boat owners. Three 40MXP hulls have already been sold before the first one is launched, which is a great success.”

Preserving the same style cues and DNA of her siblings, 40MXP retains Numarine’s high-volume, low-hassle, long-range ethos while offering several new design features that open up new opportunities to enjoy the intimate connection with the sea that a yacht confers.

Made for Med, and so much more

The ‘MXP’ stands for Mediterranean Explorer, but the reference is not suggestive of a cruising limitation of the design – rather, it reflects the beach-club lifestyle typical of Med yachts. As an evolution of – and at two metres longer than – the 37XP, the new 40MXP draws on the Med lifestyle idea and delivers it in several exciting ways. First, the aft deck has been enlarged both as a result of the extra length and also by moving the aft sliding doors to the saloon forward by three metres.

The result is an area with space for a large alfresco dining area, a bar, and a lounge area surrounding another new feature – an aft pool complete with glass transom. This spectacular new social hub extends down to a huge hydraulic swim platform that stretches across the yacht’s 8-metre beam. This oasis of outdoor living can be shaded with an awning to keep the extremes of the sun at bay or, with the option of short (standard) or long (optional) upper deck extensions, can also benefit from the upper deck overhang for more permanent shade in climates such as the Middle East or Australia.

Retaining the full XPerience

While the ‘M’ part of the 40MXP offers the glamour of beach life, the ‘XP’ part is as alive as ever – the model can achieve an impressive 6,000-nautical-mile range at 8 knots thanks to the optimised hull form developed by long-standing Numarine naval architecture partner Umberto Tagliavini. Standard propulsion comes from a pair of MAN 800hp engines, although there is the option to upgrade to a Tier III-compliant twin MAN 900hp installation –the first two yachts sold will both have the 900hp MAN upgrades.

The interior offers Numarine’s trademark space and luxury, with six suites for up to 12 guests that include a full-beam main deck master and an impressive full-beam lower deck VIP. The interior design – as well as the 40MXP’s exterior lines – once again come from Can Yalman. The 40MXP also offers everything – from expansive flybridge to generous upper deck and inviting main deck – that has made the 37XP a much-coveted and commercially successful model. The superyacht is a true global explorer with a transatlantic range and large boat deck, giving her the ability to carry up to a 9-metre tender and three full-size jet skis, with room for additional water sports toys.
