The Numarine flagship 102 RPH has always been a yacht with an agile flair and five hulls have already been delivered since it was first made available in 2007.
Now however a 6th hull has been delivered and to all intents and purposes it is a completely new yacht
The latest delivery incorporates a wealth of evolutionary changes from her predecessors along with a number of custom requirements at the request of her owner.
It features fully re-worked glazing to the hull sides which has dramatically enhanced her exterior appearance whilst allowing an extra abundance of daylight into her interior.
New soundproofing techniques and materials, have achieved incredibly low levels of noise, vibration and harshness and is noticeably better on this new yacht.
In addition, a major modification has been made to the crew accommodation and engine room by switching the configuration around. The crew accommodation is now larger, more centrally located and the engine room is much further aft resulting in a very quiet ride.
Exterior design is by Design Studio Spadolini with Naval Architecture by Umberto Tagliavini. Numarine’s long term design partner Can Yalman created the interior design.
Despite her imposing size, she is a joy to navigate in any sea conditions, providing comfortable cruising for all aboard. With a maximum speed approaching 30 knots, the 102 was designed to go places efficiently, at speed and in style.
Inside, a bright interior boasts plenty of space with a good sized lounge and dining area. To port, a galley offers direct access to both the saloon and side deck along with a conveniently located day head.
Further forward on the same level is the owner’s suite featuring a luxurious bathroom with walk in shower and vanity units. Steps lead down to a very generous walk in wardrobe space which compliments the overall feel of space and luxury. Comprising of two doubles and two twin’s, the four guest cabins are on the lower deck and benefit from the abundance of natural light brought into the boat by the glazing designs.
The newly configured crew quarters comprise of three single cabins and three bathrooms.
Between the main and upper deck is the only disappointment but then I am no lover of any raised pilot house believing that it is not a user friendly space. Here the raised pilot house is full beam with a captains arm chair at the helm and a seating area with adjoining chart table alongside.
The flybridge offering 60 square metres of space is appointed for relaxation and entertaining leaving nothing to want with sofas, cocktail tables, a bar area and space for sun loungers. The aft area of the flybridge houses a tender/jetski storage area complete with crane.
The ability of Numarine to custom design, configurations means this yacht can be altered to suit specific owner requirements from flybridge layout’s to the addition of a family room come cinema, the 102 offers a wealth of space, ready to be tailored to an individual’s taste.
