First look inside Numarine 37XP Orpheus launch details
Numarine and British studio Sturge & Toth have released the first interior images of Orpheus, the 37.2‑metre member of the yard’s 37XP line, launched from Numarine’s Kocaeli, Turkey facilities in March 2025. The 37XP series began in 2021 with Alaia; Orpheus represents the second‑largest model in the range and is one of nine 37XPs now in service. The launch reinforces Numarine’s focus on steel‑hulled, long‑range displacement yachts aimed at owners seeking offshore capability and crossover charter potential.
Operational context is straightforward: Orpheus was commissioned by a first‑time owner who expressed specific design and quality expectations, enabling closer collaboration between owner, yard and designers during construction and fit‑out. The result is a production platform refined with several custom features typically found on larger bespoke builds, enhancing the yacht’s immediate usability and potential resale or charter appeal.
Naval architecture, exterior and studio interior vision
Naval architecture was handled by Umberto Tagliavini, with Can Yalman responsible for the exterior profile and Sturge & Toth directing the interior scheme. The 37XP’s full‑displacement steel hull is configured for extended offshore passages and long‑range cruising, balancing seakeeping, fuel capacity and onboard volume. Exterior lines and deck layouts prioritise practicality for expedition use while retaining contemporary aesthetic proportions.
Sturge & Toth designed the interiors around a “quiet luxury” brief, favouring soft natural textures, layered tonal palettes and carefully considered lighting rather than overtly nautical motifs. Toby Sturge noted the owner’s clear design brief allowed the studio to introduce bespoke cabinetry and detailed metalwork typically reserved for 50‑metre plus custom yachts, delivering refined joinery and metal finishes within a production offering.
Spacious flybridge, upper-deck VIP and six cabins
A conspicuous exterior feature is the nearly 10‑metre flybridge, which provides approximately 83 square metres of open, flexible space for dining, lounging or operations. The large open flybridge expands the yacht’s usable outdoor area and supports varied layouts for entertainment, sunbathing or crewed service during charters. The main saloon on the deck below benefits from expansive glazing, providing uninterrupted panoramic views and strong visual connection to the surrounding sea.
Accommodation is arranged across six guest cabins, including a main deck master suite and an upper‑deck VIP suite that commands a private terrace and an aft‑facing bed. The VIP terrace is configurable as a sunbathing area, outdoor sports space, party deck or, when required, underway tender storage. A beach club with a bathing platform and a water‑level lounge complements the guest‑facing amenities and eases water access for tenders and toys.
6,000nm range, expedition capability and charter value
Numarine reports Orpheus achieves a range of 6,000 nautical miles at eight knots, placing her performance characteristics in line with leading expedition yachts in this class. The combination of a steel displacement hull, generous tankage and efficient hull form supports prolonged transits and remote cruising objectives without compromising onboard comfort. These technical attributes make the yacht suitable for extended itineraries and crossing oceanic distances with autonomy.
Beyond pure performance, the interior specification and custom details were selected with charter and resale potential in mind: refined materials, flexible exterior spaces and high‑spec joinery increase marketability. Orpheus remains part of an active 37XP fleet; the model’s profile was further shifted this year by the introduction of a new flagship, Miouch, delivered in August 2025, which demonstrates Numarine’s continuing development of the line.
Orpheus is a 37.2‑metre full‑displacement 37XP launched in March 2025 from Numarine’s Kocaeli yard, combining Tagliavini naval architecture, Yalman exterior styling and Sturge & Toth interior design. Key highlights include a near‑10‑metre, 83 sqm flybridge, a private upper‑deck VIP terrace, six guest cabins and a beach club, all wrapped in a “quiet luxury” interior approach with custom joinery and metal detailing. With a quoted 6,000 nm range at eight knots and specification choices aimed at charter and resale, Orpheus positions itself as a capable long‑range platform that bridges production efficiency and bespoke finishes.
