Eau la la

Two 900hp MAN engines and a steel hull built for distance define Eau La La, a 37XP that Numarine completed in Turkey in 2023. She is built as an exploration-style displacement yacht, meant to keep moving rather than sit at anchor, and everything below follows that brief.

Build and provenance

Numarine built her in Turkey in 2023, with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure under a teak deck, a construction spec chosen for range rather than outright pace. At 362 gross tons and 37 metres, she is a displacement design built to cover distance efficiently rather than plane across it.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across six cabins, with a crew of seven aboard to run the boat, cover suited to a yacht built to cross distances rather than potter along a coast.

Performance and engineering

Two 900hp MAN engines give Eau La La a 14-knot cruise and an 18-knot top speed, figures that favour range over sprint. Zero-speed stabilisers hold her level at anchor as well as under way, useful on a yacht meant to sit at anchor for days between passages. Her draught of 2.6 metres and 8-metre beam keep her out of the shallowest anchorages but steady everywhere else.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, a beach club and a fold-down transom swim platform put the water within reach, a sun deck and sky lounge sit above the main guest areas, and a jacuzzi, wet bar and space for al fresco dining round out the top decks. A forward helm station keeps the bridge separate from the guest areas, and sunpads take up what is left of the open deck. Below, dry storage, refrigerated garbage storage and increased refrigeration capacity point to a boat provisioned for weeks away rather than a weekend, with water toys stowed for whenever the anchor goes down.

Where she lies and how to see her

Eau La La lies in St Barths. We arrange viewings there in person and attend every one, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial follow before anything is signed off. She also sails in our charter fleet, so a buyer who wants time aboard before deciding can book a week through her charter page first.
