Second hybrid 30XP yacht model launched by Numarine

The second unit in Numarine's 30XP yacht series has been launched and christened Tuccini. The 30.7-metre is said to be "exactly like" her sistership Minella, which debuted at last year's Cannes Yachting Festival and was the subject of a BOAT International yacht report.

A classic, all-white paint scheme is this unit's main distinction, complemented by interiors that prioritise white and beige tones with some dark accents. As with previous models, Turkish studio Can Yalman is the principal designer for both the exterior and interior, with the raised pilothouse layout chosen for its highly efficient use of volume.

With a substantial internal volume of 213 gross tons, Tuccini is designed for owner flexibility and outdoor living. The latter manifests best in the expansive flybridge which "rivals that of a larger yacht" with space for a wet bar and a massive sunpad area for 10+ people.

Guests can also enjoy a semi-open beach club at the stern, where fold-down bulwarks expand the area to 46 square metres, creating additional space for watersports and swimming. The beach club’s airy feel and high headroom is made possible by raising the deck above, which also creates a unique lounging area accessed from the main deck for the experience of a "platform suspended above the water".

Open-air dining on the aft deck, a sundeck lounge and a private balcony accessed only from the owner's suite complete the list of al fresco areas on board. The owner's cabin occupies the prime position forward on the main deck, while four guest cabins can be found on the lower deck.

On the technical side, Tuccini can cruise quietly at seven knots, with sound levels remaining below 40 decibels in the guest cabins and just 38.1 decibels in the master cabin (described by the yard as "quieter than a soft rainfall"). 

A diesel-electric propulsion system powers Tuccini to a maximum speed of 13 knots and a range of 3,500 nautical miles at eight knots. Optional solar panels can also be added to the hardtop for extra support to onboard systems.

According to BOATPro, Numarine has seven projects on order or under construction, two of which belong to its flagship 40MXP series. The first 40MXP, Miouch, was launched late last month.
