Launched by the Turkish yard Numarine, the highly anticipated second hull from their flagship 40MXP series, Mitan, has finally made its grand debut at the thriving Palm Beach International Boat Show, currently taking Florida by storm. This new luxurious maritime creation was first delivered last October to its fortunate South American owners, who envisaged a family-centric yacht that perfectly balances cosy shared spaces and an ‘active use’ of exterior living.
This new creation can be seen as the ’natural evolution’ of the company’s immensely popular 37XP series, fusing an adventurous, long-range expedition spirit with a profound, inviting outdoor living aesthetic. The exterior design is credited to the celebrated Can Yalman, with naval architecture by the esteemed Umberto Tagliavini.
