Following a highly successful 2023, in which it introduced the super-sporty 26XP as the fastest 85-footer in its class at 31 knots, as well as revealing that it had an impressive 12 yachts under construction, Numarine has made significant additions to its team in order to ensure that it remains ahead of the curve.

Murat Şen has been appointed as the new General Manager, following 18 years of working for the Turkish builder across numerous departments. “This is a great opportunity to lead the company that I’ve been in since I started my professional life. Through my knowledge of the company culture and the team I believe the path to a successful future will continue for Numarine,” said Murat Şen.

Furthermore, the shipyard will also be bolstering its commercial side, thanks to the addition of new Sales and Marketing Director Bengü Özdoğan, who will lead Numarine’s sales, after-sales and marketing initiatives.
30XP was showcased in September 2022 to mark the occasion of the shipyard’s 20th anniversary. The yacht has the accolade of being the first Numarine to feature diesel-electric propulsion and slots in naturally between the existing 26XP and 32XP models.

Can Yalman, a long-term collaborator with Numarine, is the primary designer of both the vessel’s interiors and interiors, which sports a raised pilothouse design selected as a result of its highly efficient use of volume. With its interiors taking their inspiration from a sustainable and simple Scandinavian style, a version of the interior will also be offered which has been created in collaboration with the Istanbul-based Ofist Design Studio, alongside the standard version.
Up to 10 guests are housed in style on board the 30XP across five ensuite staterooms, comprising four guest cabins on the lower deck and a master stateroom on the main deck forward. The master suite features floor-to-ceiling windows and cutouts in the bulwarks for sea views.

Other standout aspects of the 30XP can be found in its semi-open beach club in the stern, generous master-cabin office space which is ideal for owners needing all-important peace and quiet, and three fold-down platforms which increase the beach club space to 43 square metres, as well as a side-loading tender bay capable of housing a tender of up to 6.25 metres.
“After enjoying a truly bumper 2023 in terms of our sales, our whole team is looking forward to showcasing what we are capable of in 2024 and beyond, particularly through our unmatched expedition and explorer vessel such as the 30XP. Now with the valuable additional support of two such experienced individuals as Bengu and Murat, there will be nothing stopping us!” states Numarine founder and chairman Ömer Malaz.
