Lithium-ion batteries should be able to carry the hotel load for twelve hours without the support of a generator and even with the air conditioning running. According to Numarine, comfort is high even when the engines are running; the Rotterdam engineering office Van Capellen optimised noise and vibration reduction. As with the 32XP and many other models, the Turkish shipyard with halls in Istanbul entrusted the exterior and interior design of the two-and-a-half decker to compatriot Can Yalman. He was assisted by the Italian yacht designer Umberto Tagliavini. They accommodated two crew cabins for a total of three people and four cabins for eight guests on the lower deck, with the owner's suite located amidships. The main deck has a classic layout with the saloon aft, dining area, galley and bridge forward. A five-metre tender is parked aft on the 16-metre flybridge. The owner opted for the smaller propulsion package with a total of 824 kilowatts of propulsion power. The two MAN diesels deliver less than half the power of the 26XP in the semi-planing version. This is still sufficient for a top speed of 13.5 knots and a range of 3000 nautical miles at eight knots. Numarine plans to launch two more semi-custom models from the 26XP series this year that have already been sold.
