Numarine unveils brand new Classic superyacht line with two new models
Classic superyacht-Numarine, the renowned builder of efficient explorer yachts, has revealed details of a
brand new Classic superyacht line, beginning with two models, the 38XPC and 39MXPC.
The line emerged from a desire to reinterpret timeless yacht aesthetics through the lens of modern exploration, while also responding to growing interest from clients for a more refined and enduring design language.
Classic Line: Beautiful style that sticks
For both Numarine and the new line’s exterior designer, Can Yalman, the word ‘Classic’
is not about nostalgia or recreating the past, but about embracing proportion, clarity and
elegance – values which have defined great yachts for generations – and expressing
them in a contemporary way. Rather than looking backwards, the new line is about
rediscovering these values and creating something enduring, not a momentary design
trend.
As Yalman explains: “The Classic Line emerged quite naturally from a period of
reflection. After years of working on highly optimised, contemporary explorer yachts,
there was a desire to reconnect with more timeless principles of naval design.”
He continues: “At the same time, 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.”
Exceptional yachts, crafted for enjoyment
The Classic Line builds directly on Numarine’s explorer DNA, whilst introducing a new
layer of design and lifestyle expression.
Umberto Tagliavini, naval architect for the line, explains more: “With the new Classic
superyacht line, we are proud to maintain the same core principles of efficiency,
seaworthiness, stability and autonomy for which Numarine is known.
With both the 38XPC and 39MXPC being based on the yard’s proven long-range
platforms, these qualities are reinterpreted through a more timeless and architectural
design language in the new line.
Mediterranean style meets explorer substance
Both models’ initial interiors have been penned by Milan-based studio Hot Lab, part of
the Viken Group. The 39MXPC enhances onboard living with a reimagined aft section,
complete with a Jacuzzi, it creates a large, open terrace close to the water, bringing a
more social, Mediterranean-style experience to an explorer yacht.
The 38XPC focuses on a more classic, composed layout inspired by gentleman’s
yachts, emphasising elegance, balance, and a strong connection to traditional yachting
heritage.
Indeed, compared to previous Numarine models, the shift is not in capability, but in how
that capability is experienced and expressed, with greater emphasis on atmosphere,
lifestyle, and timeless design.
Patrik von Sydow, CEO at Numarine, comments: “This Classic Line represents a
natural and strategic evolution for Numarine. It allows us to broaden our design
language and reach a wider audience while staying true to the core principles that
define the brand: efficiency, capability, and usability.”
He continues: “In an industry often driven by fast-changing trends, the Classic Line
offers a more enduring perspective: yachts designed not just for today, but for lasting
relevance. We are really excited to see how the industry reacts!”
