What MXP actually means
MXP stands for Mediterranean Explorer, and the 40MXP was the first yacht to wear the badge. Numarine's pitch is the freedom to roam the world paired with expansive outdoor living, which sounds like brochure language right up to the moment of standing on the aft deck. The yard took its proven 37XP platform, stretched the design to 39.42 metres, and gave everything gained to the water level lifestyle a Mediterranean summer actually runs on.
The result is a 379 GT displacement yacht with a steel hull and GRP superstructure that still posts genuine expedition numbers. Nothing about the beach club treatment softened the range figure, the tankage or the class notation. That refusal to trade capability for lifestyle is the whole point of the line, and it is why the model found buyers before the first hull was wet.
The transom is the showpiece
The signature feature is a pool with a glass transom face, connected to a hydraulic swim platform, with the beach club spreading across the full eight metre beam behind it. Add the al fresco dining, bar and lounge on the aft main deck and the stern of the 40MXP works as one continuous resort, from the waterline up. Trade press covering the Palm Beach debut called it the ultimate beach club experience at this size.
The clever move sits one deck up. The owner's suite is placed on the upper deck and opens directly onto its own aft terrace, so the best real estate on board belongs to the person paying for it. On Mitan the interior runs to a calm palette of cool tones, rich woods and grey veined marbles, a scheme drawn to let the sea through the glass do the decorating.
A glass sided pool, an eight metre wide beach club and 6,000 miles of range on 37XP bones.
The 37XP underneath
Beneath the lifestyle hardware the 40MXP is pure XP. Umberto Tagliavini's full displacement steel hull carries a 2.62 metre draft, RINA Pleasure class and the same machinery as the 37XP, twin MAN diesels of 800 hp in standard form or 900 hp in the heavy duty Tier III configuration with SCR exhaust treatment. Numarine quotes an 18 month build, which is series production speed for a 379 GT steel yacht.
Sharing the platform matters to a buyer in concrete ways. The hull form has thousands of sea miles behind it across the 37XP fleet, spares and service points are already mapped, and the crew hired for her can lean on an established operating picture. First-of-line risk, the usual tax on a new model, was largely paid off by the sisterships that came before.
Six thousand miles at eight knots
Top speed is 14 knots and the sensible cruise is 12, but the defining number is at the economical end. At 8 knots the 40MXP draws down its 49,000 litres of fuel slowly enough to cover 6,000 nautical miles, the same headline range as the yard's 45 and 47 metre flagships. A crossing to the Caribbean, done on the boat's own bottom, is as routine as it is for a small commercial ship.
That capability changes how the yacht gets used. Owners can winter the boat in the Caribbean and summer in the Balearics without positioning logistics dominating the calendar, or push into the Red Sea and Indian Ocean with fuel planning as a footnote. The MXP badge promises the Mediterranean, but the tanks are sized for everywhere else.
A series already moving
Miouch, the first 40MXP, was delivered in August 2025. Mitan, the second, followed in October 2025 for South American owners and introduced the model to the public at Palm Beach in March 2026, the first time the design had been shown in the United States. A third unit is under construction at Gebze with delivery scheduled for 2026, and the trade press already describes the 40MXP as a popular series.
Accommodation follows the 37XP formula, up to 12 guests in six cabins with two convertible spaces, and berths for nine crew. For owners weighing the 40MXP against the 37XP the calculation is simple. Same bones, same range, same build time, with the premium buying the pool, the beam wide beach club and the upper deck owner's terrace. The order book suggests many find that persuasive.

Was Eigner und Crew berichten
Too new for independent owner or long-term reports
First hull Miouch was only delivered in August 2025 and sistership Mitan made the model's public debut in March 2026, so there is no independent sea trial or owner account in the record yet beyond builder-guided first looks.

Was gut ist und worauf zu achten ist
Stärken
- Built on a proven hull, not a clean-sheet riskThe 40MXP reuses the engineering of the bestselling 37XP, so the range, steel construction and shallow draft it inherits already have a track record even though this specific model is new.
- Real range for a boat sized to feel manageable6,000-plus nautical miles at 8 knots on 49,000 litres puts genuine ocean crossings within reach of a 40-metre yacht a small crew can run.
- The beach club is a full-beam space, not a token platformRunning the glass-sided pool and swim platform the full 8-metre beam is a real change from the smaller transom afterthought other explorer yachts in this size bracket fit.
Worauf zu achten ist
- No independent verdict exists yetWith deliveries only beginning in August 2025, nobody outside Numarine has published a critical sea trial or a season of ownership - a buyer is relying on the yard's own account until that changes.
- Top speed is modestA 14-knot maximum trades speed hard for range and displacement-hull efficiency; an owner who wants to make fast passages between islands will find this boat noticeably slower than a planing hull of similar length.
Praktische Angaben
| New price | listed from about EUR 18.5 million to EUR 20.9 million depending on specification and engine package |
|---|---|
| Crew | berths for 9 crew, guests up to 12 across 6 cabins plus 2 convertible |
| Build time | about 18 months quoted from order |
| What is not published | running and berthing costs are not disclosed by Numarine; no resale data exists yet given the model's 2025 delivery start |
Für wen: An owner whose season is built around swimming, lunches on the water and guests coming and going, who still wants the steel hull, shallow draft and transocean range to take the same boat anywhere the charts allow.
