Numarine confirms hat-trick of pocket explorer yacht sales

Turkish yard Numarine has announced the sale of three 26XP pocket explorer yachts to clients from the Middle East, Turkey and Russia. All three clients have penned contracts for the displacement hull variant of the 26XP – it can also be ordered with a semi-planing hull.

The pocket explorer range boasts naval architecture by Umberto Tagliavini, while Can Yalman is responsible for the interior and exterior design. Both collaborators are long-time Numarine partners.

The third and fourth hulls in the series contain the same general arrangements as the first two hulls, with four cabins located below deck and a full-beam master suite situated amidships.

The fifth hull features a five-cabin layout, which offers an additional cabin forward on the main deck. It also incorporates a Jacuzzi on the flybridge.

Hull three will be powered by twin MAN 560hp engines, while hulls four and five will have MAN 800hp engines. The more powerful engines are capable of a maximum speed of 16 knots and a cruise speed of 12.5 knots.

News of the sales comes off the back of Cannes Yachting Festival, where the yard received its first two 26XP orders. Omer Malaz, chairman of Numarine, said, “Cannes was a hugely successful show for Numarine and the enquiries from potential clients are ongoing.

“Following on from the two 26XPs already delivered, the third, fourth and fifth units are now in build and we fully expect to announce a sixth in the near future.”
