The Turkish builder says the new line extends its established explorer yacht identity while introducing a more timeless design direction, with exteriors by Can Yalman, naval architecture by Umberto Tagliavini, and initial interiors by Milan-based studio Hot Lab.
A More Timeless Direction
The Classic Line marks a distinct evolution for Numarine, best known for efficient, long-range explorer yachts with strong autonomy and practical onboard layouts. Rather than departing from that foundation, the new series reworks it through cleaner proportions, stronger horizontal lines, and a more restrained architectural language.
For exterior designer Can Yalman, the word “Classic” is not intended as a reference to retro styling. Instead, the line focuses on proportion, clarity, and elegance - qualities he describes as central to great yacht design across generations.
We sensed a growing desire for this direction, perhaps a need for a more reflective, balanced approach to yachting. One that moves away from excess, instead emphasises harmony, connection with nature, and a more timeless, almost romantic idea of life at sea.”
- Can Yalman, Exterior Designer
According to Yalman, the concept developed after years of work on optimized contemporary expedition yachts, with the design team looking to reconnect with more enduring principles of naval design. The result is a yacht family intended to feel measured rather than trend-led, with a quieter, more composed presence on the water.
Proven Platforms With a New Design Language
While the styling direction is new, Numarine is keeping the technical priorities that have shaped the Numarine XP and Numarine MXP ranges. Naval architecture for both the 38XPC and 39MXPC comes from Umberto Tagliavini, whose work with the yard has underpinned several of its long-range platforms.
Both new motor yachts are based on proven Numarine platforms, with the yard retaining the focus on efficiency, seaworthiness, stability, and autonomy. The shift, then, is not one of purpose, but of atmosphere. The Classic Line presents the same long-range capability through a more refined and lifestyle-led lens.
That distinction is important for Numarine, which has built recent momentum around yachts that balance expedition credentials with a more relaxed approach to onboard living. The new Classic models appear to push that idea further, giving owners a more traditional yachting character without moving away from the practical requirements of extended cruising.
Two New Models Open the Classic Line
The 38XPC and 39MXPC introduce two slightly different readings of the Classic Line brief.
The Numarine 39MXPC takes a more open, Mediterranean-style approach to life at anchor. Its aft section has been reworked to create a broad terrace close to the water, complete with a Jacuzzi and a larger social area. This gives the model a more relaxed stern arrangement, aimed at owners who want explorer range with a stronger focus on outdoor living and time spent near the sea.
The Numarine 38XPC follows a more composed format, drawing from the language of gentleman’s yachts. Its layout places greater emphasis on balance, elegance, and heritage, presenting a calmer interpretation of Numarine’s explorer platform.
Initial interiors for both models come from Hot Lab, part of the Viken Group. The studio’s involvement points toward a more polished interior direction for the Classic Line, although detailed layout images and full specifications have not yet been released.
A Quieter Approach to Explorer Design
The Classic Line’s visual identity centers on clean, controlled lines and a strong horizontal emphasis. This is a notable adjustment for a builder associated with the purposeful geometry of explorer yachts, where vertical bows, tall superstructures, and practical deck arrangements usually dominate the profile.
Here, the aim is softer and more architectural. The superyachts remain modern, but the design language is intended to have longer-term relevance rather than a strong seasonal identity. In practice, that means fewer visual interruptions, more emphasis on proportion, and a profile shaped around calmness rather than impact.
Patrik von Sydow, CEO at Numarine, described the Classic Line as a natural and strategic evolution for the brand, intended to broaden its design language while staying close to the principles that define the yard: efficiency, capability, and usability.
New Models Join a Busy Period for the Turkish Yard
According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the largest yacht database in the world, the Classic Line arrives during an active period for Numarine, with several recent launches and model updates strengthening the yard’s position in the explorer yacht market.
The Numarine 40MXP series has been a key focus, led by the delivery of the first hull, Miouch, in 2025 and the launch of the second unit, Mitan, later that year. Mitan later appeared at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show, with a 6,000-nautical-mile range, six-cabin layout for 12 guests, and an aft deck shaped around outdoor living.
The yard has also continued to develop its smaller explorer offering, revealing the 27XP at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival as a larger and more versatile successor to the 26XP. According to YachtBuyer Market Watch, Numarine currently has 11 yachts in its order book, including units from the 37XP and 32XP series.
