Explorer with flair: Numarine launches classic superyacht line

In April 2026, the new Classic Superyacht line came into the spotlight in Istanbul. The first two models, the 38XPC and 39MXPC, are based on Numarine's proven long-range platforms. Can Yalman is responsible for the exterior design of the 37.90 and 39.26 metre yachts, while Umberto Tagliavini is responsible for the construction and the first interior concepts were developed by Milan-based studio Hot Lab, which is also part of the Viken Group.

The new line was born out of the desire to combine timeless yacht aesthetics with a modern explorer concept - including space for twelve guests, tender parking on the foredeck and a top speed of 14 knots. The term Classic does not stand for nostalgia, but for balanced proportions, clarity and elegance - values that have defined great yachts for generations. Beach villa on a world tour.

Timeless appearance instead of design trends

Designer Can Yalman explains the background: "After years of working on highly optimised, modern explorers, we wanted to return to more timeless principles of shipbuilding." It was about a yacht that turns away from excess and instead focusses on harmony and a connection with nature.

The line shows an almost romantic idea of life at sea."

Explorer in a new form

The Classic Line builds directly on Numarine's Explorer DNA, but adds a new lifestyle level. As both models are based on the shipyard's proven platforms, features such as efficiency, seaworthiness, stability and autonomy are retained - they are simply reinterpreted through the design.

At first glance, the two 333-tonne boats look very similar, even in profile. However, the 39MXPC offers a stern area that creates a large, open terrace on the water thanks to mobile bulwarks - with a jacuzzi. The 38XPC is closed "aft" and looks like a gentleman's yacht.

Numarine continues to develop

Patrik von Sydow, CEO at Numarine, comments: "The Classic Line represents a natural and strategic evolution. It allows us to broaden our design language and appeal to a wider audience. At the same time, we remain true to the core principles that characterise the brand: Efficiency, performance and ease of use. We are very excited to see how the industry will respond!"
