Numarine's First Hybrid Superyacht to Debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2024

Numarine is set to unveil its groundbreaking 30XP superyacht at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024. This marks the shipyard's first venture into hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, with the official debut scheduled for 11 am on September 12 onboard the 30XP.

The 30XP, an explorer yacht, has already attracted attention, with four units sold to existing Numarine owners even before the first unit's official launch. This yacht is designed by Can Yalman, featuring both exterior and interior designs, and incorporates a raised pilothouse for efficient space utilization. The interiors, in collaboration with Istanbul-based Ofist Design Studio, draw inspiration from Scandinavian aesthetics, emphasizing simplicity, minimalism, and functionality.

Numarine founder and chairman Ömer Malaz explained the design philosophy: “As the 30XP will be our first diesel-electric yacht, we were inspired by a sustainable, Scandinavian design aesthetic which prioritizes simplicity, minimalism, and functionality. We want to offer the feeling of being at home even when you are far out at sea.”

The 30XP offers versatile layouts to suit individual owner preferences, featuring open-air dining on the aft deck and a covered sundeck, creating a strong connection with the outdoors. The master suite, located on the main deck forward, includes a private balcony for enjoying serene views and a dedicated office space with a study desk facing full-sized windows.

The yacht also features a semi-open beach club at the stern, achieved by raising the deck above to create a lounging area. The beach club’s space can be expanded to 43 square meters with three-fold-down platforms, and it includes a side-loading tender bay that houses a 6.25-meter diesel tender.

The 30XP can accommodate up to 10 guests in five ensuite staterooms, including a master stateroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and an optional fold-out balcony. The lower deck houses four guest cabins, while up to five crew members can be accommodated forward on the lower deck.

The yacht is powered by a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system or a conventional twin 560-hp MAN engines, both providing a maximum speed of 13 knots and a cruising speed of 11 knots. The 30XP boasts an estimated range of 3,000 nautical miles at 11 knots.

Numarine, a European high-performance motor-yacht shipyard headquartered in Istanbul, offers a range of yachts from 19 to 45 meters.
