After successful sea trials
Numarine, the shipyard headquartered in Istanbul, has unveiled the first hull of the 26XP Series.
This compact 26m expedition vessel was sold in May 2016 to a returning customer from Turkey, his fourth Numarine boat to date. The first 26XP was launched in February 2018 and underwent extensive sea trials ahead of the delivery.
“Our latest new yacht launched is the 26XP”, said Omer Malaz, Founder and Chairman of Numarine. “The hull #1 has been delivered to its owner with an impressive max speed over 28 knots in the semi-planing hull option with MAN 1550hp engines and class leading noise and vibration control giving below 35dBA in cabins at anchor with generator running”.
Numarine’s long-term collaborator Can Yalman designed the 26XP’s exterior and interior. Naval architecture is by Umberto Tagliavini. She is boasting a very modern, even futuristic look, due to angular windows and a vertical bow, and carries the DNA of a larger model, the 32XP, the first of which was launched last summer. Designed to offer the same capabilities of her longer sisters, the 26XP’s smaller draft allows her to berth in shallow harbors.
The semi-planing 26XP unit is equipped with a pair of MAN 1,550 hp engines. The vessel achieves a maximum speed of 28 knots, with a cruising speed of 18 knots.
She can accommodate eight guests in four double cabins and has space for a crew of three.
