Numarine, the renowned builder of efficient explorer yachts, has used the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 to launch its latest explorer yacht model: the 27XP.
Representing a significant evolution on her successful predecessor, the Numarine 26XP, of which 30 hulls are currently cruising oceans worldwide, the 27XP offers greater length, expanded volume and a creatively reimagined, flexible design.
With an overall length of 27 metres, the elegantly designed explorer superyacht is instantly recognisable as a natural evolution of the XP series. Its sharp and commanding exterior lines are courtesy of Numarine's collaborative designer, Can Yalman, who is also responsible for the vessel's interiors. The 27XP's robust naval architecture is by Umberto Tagliavini.
Flexible, light-filled interiors
Accommodating between 8-10 guests in supreme style and comfort, as well as a four-person crew, the 27XP provides plenty of flexibility where layout is concerned.
For owners seeking a five-cabin configuration, the 27XP provides a main deck VIP cabin, with three full VIP suites in total, alongside a dramatically expanded full-beam master suite below complete with a spacious bathroom and walk-in closet, and a generous additional guest cabin.
All cabins benefit from oversized sea-view windows, immersing guests in natural light and establishing a clear connection with the ocean surroundings.
When the four cabin option is chosen, the wheelhouse is placed on the main deck, in contrast with the five cabin option, which places its wheelhouse on an enclosed flybridge.
Bigger, better, best
The 27XP provides numerous upgrades compared to her predecessor, including an expanded galley and dining offering. In particular, the open kitchen concept creates a contemporary, social atmosphere, delivering a true 'big yacht' feel, notwithstanding the size of this pocket explorer.
Designed to provide exceptional outdoor living, other standout areas on board include her raised bow lounge, where lounge seating has been elevated to provide clearer views of the horizon and surrounding nature, as well as her supersized flybridge. Even longer and wider than the one found on board the 26XP, the flybridge provides a phenomenal space for entertaining, relaxation and open-air enjoyment.
Top performance in diverse climates
Unsurprisingly for a builder renowned for the exploration capabilities of its yachts, the 27XP leaves nothing to be desired where performance is concerned. With power provided by twin MAN 560 engines, the 27XP has a top speed of 13.5 knots, a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum range of 2,200 nautical miles at eight knots.
As an added bonus, she also offers the options of a completely enclosed, glass flydeck helm area, ensuring navigation and leisure in absolute comfort for voyages in cooler or more temperate climates.
Ömer Malaz, Founder and Chairman of Numarine, says: "After keeping our cards close to our chests for a little while as we worked on refining the design, we are thrilled to unveil our latest model, the Numarine 27XP. Longer, roomier and more versatile than her predecessor, she introduces new levels of comfort, light and openness, while still keeping the rugged explorer spirit which defines our XP series. She sets a new standard of elegance and capability in the explorer yacht class."
