The Numarine 30XP is the 30.9 meter explorer that marks a generational leap in the XP range of the Turkish shipyard. He was born with a clear mission: offer crossborder autonomy, silence of primacy e really usable spaces 12 months a year, with a propulsive system available both in configuration traditional diesel (twin MAN 560 bhp) both in diesel-electric hybrid version. Architecture in FRP composite (exhaust and superstructure), the semi-dislocating low-fishing hull (1,81 m) and a distribution of intelligent volumes (up to 213 GTs declared) constitute the engineering base of a long cruise-oriented project, with range up to 3,500 nm to 8 knots e maximum speed of 13 knots in maximum efficiency.
Year of Launch: 2024 | Overall length: 30,90 m Maximum width: 7,50 m Motorization: 2 x 240 kW electric motors + 4 diesel generators from 108 kW each | Maximum speed: 13 nodes | Autonomia Massima: 3,500 nautical miles in hybrid mode
Why this model counts
In the 30–32 meter segment, dominated by crossovers and “light explorer”, the 30XP stands out on three engineering axes: acoustics (cabin under 40 dBAs on slow march, with the master at ~38 dBA in hybrid), energy management (distributed generation and optional electric traction for maneuvers and nights at anchor in quiet ship) and volume (layout 5 cabins/10 guests + 5 crew on three decks with beach club and sky lounge full width).
Site profile: construction philosophy and reputation
Numarine is one of the protagonists of the new Turkish wave in the high-end yachting. Its identity is based on three pillars: consistent design (signed by Can Yalman), integrated engineering with specialist technological partners (e.g. Silent Line for vibro-acoustic control) and industrialization able to guarantee competitive delivery times. The series XP — from 22XP to 47MXP — defines a common language: full bow, slender superstructure, generous bridges and protective side shoulders, all functional to prolonged navigation in different latitudes. The reputation on the market is that of value: maximizing real usability, containing weights and management charges, without sacrificing aesthetics and comfort.
Technical introduction to the model
The 30XP is conceived as semi-dislocating explorer with reduced fishing to expand the range of approdes and radiates. The hull geometry it favours static and dynamic stability at low and medium ranges, while optimized wet surfaces reduce residual resistance in speed range 8–12 knots. The adoption of composite (sandwich with differentiated-density cores and glass/wine skins) allows a strong/weight ratio that is favourable to the same class in steel/aluminum, with benefits on installed power and consumption. The Optional hybrid drive introduces redundancy and efficiency, useful for maneuvers, low-speed cruise and night stays without resorting to the main diesels.
Detailed analysis of specifications
Dimensions and naval architecture
- Length outside everything (LOA): 30,90 m
- Maximum garlic: 7,50 m
- Full load fishing: 1,81 m
- Full load dislocation: ♪
- Internal volume (GT): up to 213 GT

Semi-dislocating hull is optimized for low wave resistances at economic speed (8 knots), with center of famine positioned to mitigate beaking and wide lateral surfaces that cooperate with fins/giroscopes (if installed) for depreciation of the roll. The bass fishing extends access to shallow and marine bays with limited backdrops, an important operational plus in the eastern Mediterranean and the Caribbean
Building materials (exhaust, superstructure, interior)
Numarine adopts a FRP composite for hull and superstructure, with laminations infusion and use of calibrated structural souls: solution that guarantees torque rigidity, resistance to fatigue e vibration attenuation. On board, the interiors combine precious wood, technical e decorative composites resistant to UV and moisture. The surfaces are treated to simplify maintenance: a criterion of design for serviceability consistent with the explorer setting. Specific construction and materials source: Numarine.

Performance: speed, cruise, autonomy, consumption
- Maximum speed: ~13 kn
- Cruise: ~12 kn (diesel); economic: 8 kn
- Autonomy declared: up to 3,500 nm @ 8 kn
- Fuel capacity: ~18.500 L
- Freshwater/Black: ~2.500 L / ~2.700 L
In terms of propulsive efficiency, the 30XP is located in the “range-first” dial: optimized for long distances with specific consumption. The setting for economic trends favours the hydrostatic carrier compared to that dynamic, resulting in reduction of the powers absorbed at the foot of the propeller and less thermal load on propulsor group and auxiliary plants.
Onboard systems: electronics, home automation and navigation
The command bridge is raised pilothouse: improves sightlines, isolates the government area from the guest flow and allows a routing efficient wiring. Integrated instrumentation multi-display navigation, sensor fusion for weather and data optimization, monitoring automation (HVAC, pumps, energy management) on unified screens. The domours allows custom light/climate/audio scenarios in lounges and cabins with logic fail-safe e bypass manuals. The energy system — particularly in hybrid configuration — is orchestrated by a power management that balances generation, batteries and critical loads for comfort and safety.
Interior design and architecture: signatures, layout, ergonomics
I do style Can Yalman enhances pure surfaces, vertical and horizontal light cuts, and a material palette hot but technical. The layout 5 cabins provides for owner suite on the main deck with openable balcony (where specified), four guest cabins on the lower (VIP + 3 guest), and a forward crew area with 3 cabins for 5 members, separated from the guest flows. The main hall opens on side terraces and on a cockpit configurable as conviviality or toy-deck; above, it sky lounge max width allows indoor dining with opening on fly and sunbathing. The beach club expands the bathroom platform creating continuity of water-bord use.

Life on board and comfort
The 30XP is designed for live the sea with continuity. The beach club allows daily use of water-toys without prejudice to the guest areas, while the sky lounge acts as multipurpose space 4 seasons: dining, cinema, lounge. The cabins are isolated from bulkhead with differentiated layers, with decoupled ceilings for mitigate flanking noise. The galley, well sized and with independent crew paths, supports formal and family style. Modular HVAC keeps set-points stable with logic of demand response to reduce consumption.
Navigation performance: testing and feedback
The sea tests of the first units have evidenced a acoustic signature exceptionally contained in the sleeping area and one healthy motherhood with passages on the expected wave. In hybrid, at 7 kn, the measures shown in the guest cabin remain < 40 dBA, with the master around 38 db, values “quieter than a light rain”. In traditional diesel, noise remains well treated thanks to elastic supports, insulating machines and uncoupled channeling. References: Boat International, YachtBuyer — Review.
