Numarine 30 XP Review (2024 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Numarine 30 XP has a sleek and modern exterior, with extensive use of glass, which offers panoramic views from the interior. The beach club at the rear of the yacht is a standout feature, with open sides that create a connection to the water. The drop-down balconies further enhance the open feel, providing additional outdoor space and privacy when docked. 

The flybridge is a highlight of the Numarine 30 XP, offering vast space for entertainment and relaxation. It includes a bar area and a dining table, making it ideal for social gatherings. One of the most impressive features is the massive sun pad. The hardtop covering the flybridge is equipped with solar panels, contributing to the yacht's eco-friendly design by providing up to 6kw an hour of charge to the lithium batteries.

The interior of the Numarine 30 XP is designed with comfort and sophistication in mind. The saloon features bi-fold doors that create a great indoor-outdoor transition, and the inclusion of thin TVs that display art when not in use adds a touch of elegance. The galley is spacious and well-equipped, with lots of work surfaces and storage, catering to both casual and formal dining experiences. The overall design is modern and contemporary, with muted tones that have a low-key, luxurious style.

The pilot house is equipped with advanced technology, providing a comprehensive view for the captain. It includes a modern camera system that offers multiple viewing angles of the yacht, enhancing safety and navigation. The helm is futuristic, with motor controls and start-stop buttons that reflect the yacht's hybrid propulsion system. This innovative setup replaces traditional engine keys, marking a shift towards more advanced and user-friendly operations.

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin is a luxurious retreat, featuring expansive windows that offer breathtaking views and allow natural light to flood the space. A private balcony provides a secluded outdoor area for relaxation, adding an exclusive touch to the cabin. The design is both dramatic and elegant, with floor-to-ceiling windows that create a sense of openness and connection to the sea. The cabin also includes a large walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a rainfall shower.

Guest Accommodation

The lower deck houses four well-sized guest cabins, each designed with comfort and luxury in mind. Large hull windows in each cabin provide stunning views and natural light, enhancing the overall guest experience. Ample storage is available, with wardrobes, drawers, and space under the beds. Each cabin is equipped with an en-suite bathroom featuring modern amenities, ensuring guests have a private and comfortable stay.

Crew Accommodation

The crew quarters are twin bunks with en-suite facilities and a separate captain's cabin provides additional privacy, also with an en-suite bathroom. The crew area includes a mess area and laundry facilities, ensuring that the crew can operate efficiently and comfortably. 

The Numarine 30 XP is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system, powered by twin 240kw electric motors and supported by four 118-kW generators at 14 knots flat-out. This setup offers significant fuel efficiency, with a consumption of just 50 liters per hour at an 8-knot cruise, and an impressive range of 3,500 miles. The hybrid system is an upgrade from the standard MAN diesel engines, providing a sustainable alternative that aligns with modern ecological standards.

Nick  is particularly impressed by the yacht's hybrid propulsion system, which marks a significant step towards sustainability in the superyacht market. The extensive use of glass, luxurious interior, and thoughtful exterior design elements make the Numarine 30 XP a standout vessel. Nick appreciates the clever use of space and the integration of modern technology, concluding that the yacht is a fascinating and forward-thinking piece of engineering.
