Turkish builder’s explorer gets even hotter with Milan studio’s interiors
The European high-performance motoryacht shipyard Numarine in Istanbul is collaborating with Hot Lab, the renowned Milan-based studio, on an exclusive decoration package for the 32XP superyacht range.
“It’s a great pleasure for our shipyard to partner with such an amazing and innovative design team,” says Omer Malaz, Founder and Chairman of Numarine. “Their work is so inspiring, elegant and timeless. We’re happy we can offer Hot Lab styling to our clients and we are keen to develop our partnership going forward.”
“Our studio did many yachts in Turkey, we already have four yachts under construction, and of course we are very familiar with Numarine,” says Antonio Romano, Co-founder and Partner at Hot Lab. “Last summer, Numarine’s team invited us to visit their shipyard and check out the production. Their organisation, workflow and the quality truly amazed us.
“The 32XP is a very well-designed product. With the new package by Hot Lab, we just offer nice extra touches for the decoration to add more freshness to this superyacht’s styling.”

Sophisticated Styling
The 32XP is one of the most successful compact expedition vessels on the market with three units delivered over the last three years and two more under construction. Now the model gets even hotter with the new exclusive design solution.
The Hot Lab decoration package for the Numarine 32XP is homey, surprising, and entertaining — with a combination of new materials, color palette and interior solutions. As it is 100% custom, the Hot Lab designers will sit down with the Owner and decide what exactly needs to be implemented.
“We did not touch the layout of the 32XP because it is perfect, it’s only about materials and finishes” adds Romano. “An Owner can choose this package even if he or she has already purchased the yacht three-four months before the delivery.”
“I would like to see more and more yacht interiors becoming a sort of box, the most delicate and well-refined as possible, capable of containing the real essence of a boat: being on water,” says Enrico Lumini, Chief Designer and Partner at Hot Lab. “I would compare the styling for the 32XP to a sportsman. He gives everything he has, no matter if the cameras are there or not.”
Hot Lab mostly uses a white and bright palette for the decoration of the 32XP, which creates a special feeling on board.
“My favourite features of the package are the spaciousness of the master cabin and the homey effect of the saloon, with an intensive use of loose furniture which really makes you feel like the only important thing is the box you are onboard and how it is going to take wherever you want,” Lumini adds.
Compact Explorer
The 32XP is a perfect example of a compact explorer yacht. While being just under the limit of 300 GT category. She offers incredible volumes for living spaces, with her steel hull and GRP superstructure allowing for unique layouts internally and customised external spaces.

As Numarine Founder and Chairman Malaz puts it, high-tech companies and devices that run the world inspired him to create this beautiful model that is easy to manage with a user-friendly interface developed by Energy Solutions, enabling the Captain to run her without an engineer.

Powerful Exterior
The 32XP, as well as other models in the series, looks very different than the shipyard’s performance models. The styling is by Can Yalman, the renowned design partner of Numarine responsible for all of the shipyard’s distinctive model lines. Her silhouette is deliberately rugged, powerful and hefty with extensive angular windows.

The vertical bow is another contemporary feature added to the yacht and it has a purpose to cut through the water with ease. The hull’s shape, which is designed by Numarine’s long-standing collaborator, naval architect Umberto Tagliavini, is beneficial to the internal volumes.
Modern, Spacious Layout
Like all Numarines, the interior of the 32XP is fully customised to reflect the Owner’s preferences in terms of layout, design, fabrics and materials. There is 600sqm of living space with a large main saloon and several outside areas to socialise, including a large couch area with bimini and cocktail table forward of the wheelhouse, and a huge flybridge.
The 32XP layouts may have up to six cabins for up to 12 guests, including the master suite forward on the main deck. Another roomy VIP cabin is on the upper deck aft. It opens up via sliding doors to the incredibly large open deck. In navigation, it can fit a 9m RIB tender and two PWCs with the help of the 2.5-tonne crane.
Below deck forward, the crew quarters provide for the Captain with his private cabin plus ensuite, and four crewmembers in two doubles with ensuite.
Silence Is Perfection
The Numarine 32XP has surpassed even DNV Class 1 Comfort Class in terms of the elimination and reduction of all noise and vibration sources and achieved comfort levels of a high quality 50m megayacht in a 32.5m superyacht.
Numarine’s long-standing partner Silent Line, run by Sjaak van Cappellen, developed and installed the solutions to provide the right ambiance. In order to do that, they disconnected the cabins from the yacht’s structure, which is unique for a yacht this size. With the engines running, the noise level at the Owner’s suite is under 37 decibels; While the yacht is at anchor, this number is down to 30 decibels.
The Numarine 32XP’s very efficient displacement hull gives her a top speed of 14 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, and a 4,000nm range at 8 knots.

Global Player
Recently, the shipyard sold four more units of the 26XP model (hulls #7, 8, 9 and 10) and one more unit of the 32XP (hull #4), bringing the total sales of the XP Series sales to 14 units. With over 220 metres of superyachts in length under construction in 2020, Numarine claims third place in the world for explorer yacht construction.
