Turkish shipyard Numarine has offered a first look inside the first hull in its 30XP series, named Minella. This follows her debut at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival.
The 30.8-metre explorer was unveiled during the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022 as the first Numarine yacht to be fitted with hybrid propulsion. Both exterior and interior design is owed to Can Yalman, with the 30XP poised to "fill a neat, mid-sized gap" in the shipyard's lineup.
"We were inspired by a sustainable, Scandinavian design aesthetic which prioritises simplicity, minimalism and functionality," explained Numarine founder and chairman Ömer Malaz. "We want to offer the feeling of being at home even when you are far out at sea."
Accommodation is for up to 10 guests across five en suite cabins, comprising four guest cabins on the lower deck and a master cabin on the main deck forward. The master cabin features floor-to-ceiling windows and bulwark cutouts to capitalise on sea views, as well as a private fold-out balcony and office space with a study desk. There is further space for five crew.
The flybridge is worth noting with Numarine claiming it has "the area and features of a much larger yacht". Minella makes use of the space with a bank of sofas, an eight-person table and side decks which lead to a large setting of sunpads. There is also room for a wet bar and the option to instal solar panels in the hardtop.
Meanwhile, the beach club benefits from generous headroom, achieved by raising the deck above which then becomes a lounging area. Three fold-down balconies promote a continuous connection to the water and create a complete space of 46 square metres. A side-loading tender bay can also house a tender of 5.65 metres.
The 30XP's maximum speed is 13 knots, with a range of 3,000 nautical miles when pared back to eight knots.
Including a proposed 55XP flagship, the 30XP brings the shipyard's range up to seven models. Numarine is looking to increase production with a new waterside facility that’s due for completion in a few years’ time.
In recent news, Numarine turned the hull on its flagship explorer model, the 40MXP. The 39-metre model is characterised by her extended aft deck and glass-fronted dip pool.
