In the GCC’s luxury yachting landscape, the right dealer is more than a sales point — they are a trusted navigator, guiding owners from first conversation to long-term enjoyment at sea. For Phoenix Yacht Management, the official Numarine dealer in the region, that role means presenting the shipyard’s most exciting innovations to Gulf clients — yachts that combine global pedigree with the lifestyle demands of the Middle East.
One of the latest standouts is the Numarine 40MXP Explorer, a flagship that blends true transoceanic range with the relaxed elegance of Mediterranean-inspired living. Already attracting attention on the international stage, the 40MXP reflects a growing appetite among owners for yachts that balance performance, endurance, and expansive social spaces.
Mediterranean Spirit, Global Reach
The ‘MXP’ in 40MXP stands for Mediterranean Explorer — a nod to her sweeping open-air lifestyle. A vast aft deck flows into a bar, lounge, and an elegant pool with a glass transom, just steps from a hydraulic full-beam swim platform. It’s a setting that resonates strongly with Gulf owners, where warm-water cruising and outdoor entertaining are part of the culture.
Yet she is far from a coastal cruiser. With a 6,000-nautical-mile range and naval architecture by Umberto Tagliavini, the 40MXP is built for global exploration — equally at home on ocean crossings as she is anchored in a private bay.
Designed for Regional Owners
For Yousuf Al Hashimi, Managing Director at Phoenix Yacht Management, the yacht speaks directly to Middle Eastern lifestyles:
“In this region, owners value generous social spaces for family gatherings and the performance needed for effortless cruising across longer distances. The 40MXP delivers exactly that — expansive outdoor areas usually seen on much larger yachts, combined with the proven efficiency and reliability of the XP Series.”
Inside, Can Yalman’s design philosophy ensures six suites for up to 12 guests, including a full-beam master on the main deck. At under 500GT, the yacht provides impressive volume while sidestepping the additional crew requirements and regulatory challenges of larger tonnage.
Capability Meets Lifestyle
Functionality enhances, rather than limits, her luxury. The tender deck accommodates a 9-metre tender, three jet skis, and an array of water toys, with abundant storage for long journeys. Standard propulsion comes via twin MAN 800hp engines, with an upgrade option to Tier III-compliant MAN 900hp units for environmentally sensitive cruising grounds.
Phoenix Steering the Course
For Phoenix Yacht Management, the 40MXP is not about a single launch moment, but about reinforcing their role as the GCC’s gateway to one of the most versatile explorer yachts on the market. Built in Turkey as part of Numarine’s acclaimed XP Series, the yacht demonstrates the innovation and range that Phoenix continues to connect with Gulf clients.
As the region’s exclusive Numarine dealer, Phoenix offers more than sales — providing full-spectrum yacht management that ensures every mile at sea is backed by expertise and confidence. With additional 40MXP hulls already under construction, Phoenix is charting a path that brings together global shipyard innovation with the cruising lifestyles of Middle Eastern owners.
