ABOUT YACHT

Numarine 26XP is a mini-explorer. Travels 3,000 nautical miles without refuelling, she can take you anywhere.

The saloon has been designed to be functional as well as relaxing, with clean, open sightlines. A section of the large saloon windows slides open, creating a thorough draught of fresh air.

Above, the 55 square metre flybridge feels ample and comes in two versions, one with a crane and tender stowage and one without. The central flybridge helm is flanked by two oversized sofas.

Accommodation is all below decks, with a full-width master amidships, a VIP cabin in the bow and two guest cabins. The master cabin’s space really makes the most of the boat’s wide beam, and the big windows allow plenty of natural light in. Clever space-saving touches are used to keep things roomy, such as the television and mirror combination and the integrated vanity table.

Lithium ion batteries allow the boat to run in “night mode” for up to 18 hours, with no generator, without noise and vibration. The next day the batteries charge again while you cruise. In the master cabin while cruising, the noise levels are an impressive 55dB(A), at anchor with the generator and air con on, these drop even lower to only 30dB(A).

The yard’s efforts in soundproofing are evident throughout: there are foam pads between the ceiling of the cabins and the floor of the main deck to dampen the sound of footsteps from above.
