Designed by Can Yalman with naval architecture by Umberto Tagliavini, the 40MXP sits at the top of the Numarine Mediterranean Explorer series as a lifestyle-led evolution of the 37XP platform.
First launched in 2025, the Numarine 40MXP has since seen a second hull, Mitan, enter the water, with additional units under construction. Its Palm Beach appearance signals a clear push toward the American market, where demand for long-range yachts with strong outdoor credentials continues to grow.
From 37XP to 40MXP: What Has Changed
The 40MXP - short for Mediterranean Explorer - builds on the proven steel displacement hull of the Numarine 37XP, stretching the platform to just over 39 meters overall with an 8.04-meter beam and approximately 499GT of internal volume. The defining explorer cues remain intact: a strong vertical bow, purposeful geometry, and large expanses of glazing.
Where the 40MXP diverges is aft. The hull extension and subtle repositioning of the main saloon doors have created a significantly enlarged aft deck that now anchors the yacht’s social life. This area accommodates a full-beam alfresco dining space, lounge seating, bar, and a glass-fronted pool overlooking the stern. Below, a hydraulic swim platform spans the explorer yacht’s entire 8-meter beam, reinforcing the direct connection to the water.
The yacht also retains a substantial tender deck capable of carrying a 9-meter tender alongside full-size jet skis and additional toys. For owners seeking global cruising flexibility, that storage capacity is critical.
Main-Deck Master and Custom Options
Inside, the 40MXP continues Numarine’s approach to high-volume layouts with clean, contemporary styling. The main saloon on board the superyacht connects directly to the aft terrace through full-height glass doors, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor flow that defines the MXP concept. Large windows throughout the superstructure enhance visibility and create an open atmosphere during extended passages.
Accommodation on board the yacht is arranged for up to 12 guests across six cabins, supported by a crew of seven. The full-beam owner’s suite sits forward on the main deck, benefiting from floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in natural light.
Above all, [the 40MXP] showcases our strength as a boutique shipyard: flexible enough to tailor each yacht to its owner, yet consistent in delivering robust engineering, efficiency, and signature style."

Additional guest cabins are located on the lower deck, with two flexible spaces that can be customized to suit owner requirements. Across early hulls, interiors have been tailored to individual briefs, typically favoring bright palettes and understated finishes to amplify the sense of space.
A Mediterranean Approach to an Explorer Hull
Numarine has been clear in positioning the 40MXP as an expedition yacht with a Mediterranean accent. The emphasis is on open-air living without sacrificing range or structural integrity. The extended aft section is complemented by a generous flybridge and well-proportioned upper deck, creating multiple zones for dining, sunbathing, or relaxed cruising.
Industry response has reflected that shift in focus. The 40MXP was named a finalist at the World Yachts Trophies 2025 in the Best Exterior Design categories for yachts between 30 and 50 meters, underlining the strength of Yalman’s exterior work.
Despite the Mediterranean reference, the motor yacht was conceived for far wider horizons. The displacement hull, steel construction, and expedition-ready engineering place it firmly in the long-range explorer segment.
Transatlantic Range and Proven Engineering
Performance remains central to the 40MXP’s identity. Naval architect Umberto Tagliavini has optimized the displacement hull to deliver a transatlantic range of 6,000 nautical miles at 8 knots. Fuel capacity stands at approximately 51,000 liters, supporting long passages without frequent refueling stops.
Standard propulsion is delivered by twin MAN 800hp engines, with an available upgrade to twin 900hp units for owners seeking additional power within current emissions compliance frameworks. Top speed is around 14 knots, with a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 12 knots.
Noise and vibration mitigation have been addressed through acoustic insulation and vibration reduction systems developed in collaboration with Silent Line, a consideration that becomes increasingly important on long-range crossings.
According to YachtBuyer Market Watch, the largest yacht database in the world, the third Numarine 40MXP superyacht is on the market with Denison Yacht Sales and is currently asking €18,500,000. She is due to be delivered in 2026.

Other World Debuts to Watch at Palm Beach 2026
Alongside Numarine’s 40MXP, several notable new models are set to make their global premieres at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show. The Westport Yachts W135 will headline the American contingent. At 40.99 meters, the GRP-built raised pilothouse yacht accommodates 10 guests in five cabins, including a full-beam main-deck owner’s suite.
From Poland, the Galeon 520 FLY brings a 17.2-meter, 30-knot-plus flybridge platform with three cabins for six guests. The flybridge is configured as the primary social area, complemented by an open-plan main deck and curated interior schemes developed with Insitu & Partners. Rounding out the lineup, the Aquila Power Catamarans 45 Sport is a 14.17-meter GRP catamaran designed for day use and short cruising, accommodating two guests in a single cabin.
