Trading the garage for a jacuzzi is the layout decision that defines the Numarine 40MXP: where her sister model keeps a beach club and tender garage aft, this one swaps it for a wider swim platform and a jacuzzi set close to the water. Numarine is building her for delivery in 2027, from Istanbul, in Turkey.

Build and provenance

Numarine builds her as a steel-hulled, full-displacement monohull, 40 metres long with a 2.6-metre draught and an 8-metre beam, dimensions that keep her steady at anchor as much as underway. MXP stands for Mediterranean Explorer, and the model is built around a more casual way of living aboard than the traditional garage-and-beach-club arrangement offers. Numarine has already sold three of them ahead of delivery.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep in five cabins, and with the beach club and tender garage removed from the stern, that space now belongs to an enlarged aft deck and a wider swim platform, both reached directly from the water at anchor. The interior layout options and the sundeck carry over from the sister model unchanged.

Performance and engineering

Two 900 hp MAN D2862 engines give her a 12-knot cruise and 14 knots at full speed, numbers that suit steady coastal running over long fast passages. She carries 12,944 gallons of fuel and 1,056 gallons of fresh water, tankage built for time spent at anchor rather than for crossing an ocean in one leg.

Where she lies and how to see her

Numarine is building the Numarine 40MXP in Istanbul, in Turkey, where Boatcrowd represents her to buyers weighing her up against the sister model. A viewing is arranged whenever a buyer wants to walk the build, with Boatcrowd there for it, and a surveyor and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted.
