About Numarine

Numarine was founded in 2002 by Ömer Malaz, a lifelong motorboat enthusiast, and is based in Gebze, just outside Istanbul. The yard first made its name with fast flybridge and hardtop yachts before turning decisively toward explorer designs from 2017.

That shift defined the modern brand. The XP range offers explorer-style yachts with high volume, tall bows and real long-range intent, and the yard builds them as semi-custom yachts, so owners can personalize layouts and finishes within a proven platform.

Design continuity has been a Numarine strength. Creative director Can Yalman has shaped the brand's visual identity for many years, and naval architect Umberto Tagliavini has worked with the yard since its early days. The result is a family of yachts that look related across sizes.

Numarine yacht models

Numarine's XP naming reflects approximate length in meters. Earlier planing models from the Fly and Hardtop ranges also appear on the pre-owned market.

Buying a Numarine yacht

Because Numarines are semi-custom, two yachts of the same model can differ in layout, equipment and finish. Buyers should obtain the full build specification, understand the stabilization and propulsion choices, and review how systems have been maintained, particularly on yachts that have cruised extensively. Older Fly and Hardtop models are a different proposition entirely, and should be surveyed with their planing performance and engine hours in mind.

The larger XP yachts carry professional crew and may be commercially registered for charter, which affects flag, class and running costs. Daniel helps clients weigh these points, and his guide to buying a yacht explains how survey and sea trial fit into the purchase.

How to buy a yacht

Selling a Numarine yacht

The explorer market has its own buyer profile: experienced owners who value range, volume and robustness. Daniel prices a Numarine against sold explorers of similar size and age, adjusted for specification and condition, and sets out the reasoning in a private valuation.

Numarine's distinctive look photographs well and gives marketing a strong starting point. Daniel can present the yacht through cooperating brokers internationally or discreetly to a smaller group of qualified buyers, with the Monaco and Fort Lauderdale shows remaining key moments in the calendar.

Numarine new builds

Numarine builds on a semi-custom basis, and Daniel can help a client prepare for a new build, clarifying the brief, comparing models and coordinating with an owner's representative. He remains independent throughout and works on the client's side of every conversation.

Semi-custom building leaves room for meaningful choices, from layout and tender arrangements to interior finishes. Daniel helps a client decide where personalization adds genuine value and where the yard's proven solutions are the wiser course.

Questions owners ask

What does XP mean in Numarine model names?

XP identifies Numarine's explorer range, and the number broadly reflects the yacht's length in meters, so a 26XP is roughly 26 meters. The MXP designation marks a Mediterranean Explorer variant with a stronger emphasis on outdoor living. Earlier models used Fly and HT names for flybridge and hardtop planing yachts.

Where are Numarine yachts built?

Numarine builds its yachts in Gebze, near Istanbul, Turkey, where the company has been based since it was founded in 2002 by Ömer Malaz. The yard builds semi-custom yachts, allowing owners to adapt layouts and finishes to their own plans.

Are Numarine explorers suitable for long passages?

The XP range was designed with long-range cruising in mind, with volume for stores and robust proportions. As with any yacht, suitability for a specific passage depends on the model, equipment, crew and conditions. Daniel can help a buyer assess a particular yacht against intended itineraries.
