Numarine delivers first 27XP explorer yacht as next-generation silent energy package debuts at sea
by Numarine 28 May 06:24 PDT
Numarine, the Turkish yacht builder renowned for its long-range explorer yachts, has delivered the first unit of its all-new 27XP model.
Following the project unveiling at last year's Cannes Yachting Festival, the 27XP has already generated strong interest, with five hulls sold and three currently under construction. The second and third units are scheduled for delivery in the coming months.
The owner of the first hull is a repeat Numarine client upgrading from a 22XP, a reflection of the loyalty the XP range has built among experienced owners seeking greater volume and cruising capability without the complexity of a significantly larger yacht. Delivered in Istanbul, the yacht is expected to spend much of her time cruising the Greek islands and wider Aegean region.
The 27XP will make her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 (8-13 September).
Strong design code and versatile layout
The 27XP is the natural evolution of the highly successful 26XP platform, of which 30 hulls are currently cruising worldwide, developed through years of feedback from owners and captains. The result is a larger, more capable explorer yacht with increased interior volume, expanded outdoor living and enhanced onboard functionality — while preserving the core characteristics that made the XP Series so successful.
The first hull has been delivered in the four-cabin layout, prioritising a full-beam flybridge and expanded exterior living spaces. A five-cabin version is also available for owners with different cruising requirements.
Designed inside and out by Can Yalman, with naval architecture by Umberto Tagliavini, the 27XP retains the sharp, purposeful profile of Numarine's explorer range while introducing a more open onboard experience. Oversized windows maximise natural light throughout, a sliding glass door off the main salon dissolves the boundary between interior and cockpit, and the flybridge is among the largest in its class.
Next-generation explorer
The 27XP introduces Numarine's new Mk2 Super Silent Pack, developed in partnership with Sleipner. Built around a 48-volt energy architecture and integrated Hybrid Power Center, the system combines a 92.8 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery bank with 5.6 kW of solar generation, shore power input and intelligent load management. Operating at higher voltage improves efficiency across all onboard systems, reduces energy losses and enables quieter, more stable electrical performance throughout the yacht.
Powered by twin MAN 560 engines, the 27XP offers a top speed of 13.5 knots, a cruising speed of 10 knots and a transoceanic range of 2,200 nautical miles at eight knots.
Patrik von Sydow, CEO of Numarine, commented: "The delivery of the first 27XP demonstrates how strongly the market has responded to this new model. Five hulls sold before the first launch speaks for itself. The 27XP builds upon the success of the 26XP platform, refined through direct feedback from experienced owners and captains, combining the comfort of a much larger yacht with the efficiency that modern owners increasingly demand."
