The 27XP replaces the Numarine 26XP, and that was a pretty tough act to follow. Numarine sold 30 of them, while five 27XPs had already found owners before the first boat had even made its public debut. The basic idea hasn't changed too much - lots of boat for the length, proper range and a focus on space rather than speed - but the 27XP pushes that formula a bit further.

On Deck
You get the measure of the 27XP quite quickly from the stern. The tender sits on the bathing platform on this boat, with a big cockpit above and an aft sunpad tucked beneath the overhang. There's plenty of shade, a docking station off to one side and a wet bar with a fridge and sink close by. Open the huge saloon doors and the cockpit becomes very much part of the main-deck living space. It all works rather well.
There are some good little details down at water level, too. A fold-out seat beside the platform doesn't sound like much, but it's just the thing when you've got a pair of fins to pull on or some kit to sort before you get in. Crew access and the engine room are down here as well, so the working bits stay nicely out of the way.
The flybridge is where the 27XP really lays it on. It runs a long way aft and can take the tender if you don't want it on the bathing platform. This owner chose to leave the tender downstairs and keep the whole upper deck for people. Hard to argue with that. There's an awful lot of room up here, with a big hardtop, extra bimini cover, a proper dining area, bar, fridge drawers and an ice maker. You could quite happily spend most of the day up here.
The helm sits forward on this four-cabin boat, with the usual MAN displays, multifunction screens, engine controls and thrusters. But there's a clever bit of flexibility here. Go for the five-cabin layout and the lower wheelhouse becomes another VIP, while the upper helm gets enclosed to form the wheelhouse instead. So Numarine hasn't magicked another cabin out of nowhere - the deck plan has to work a little harder for it - but it's a neat way to give owners the choice.
Right forward on the flybridge there's another sunpad, and this could well be one of the nicest places aboard when you're just pottering down the coast. You're high up, well forward and the view is terrific. Radar, satellite domes, searchlight and antennas sit above the hardtop, but otherwise the deck feels surprisingly uncluttered.
Down on the main deck, side decks run forward on both sides. The wheelhouse has direct deck access and the galley has its own crew door, so crew don't have to keep trekking through the saloon. There are also floor-to-ceiling openings in the side of the accommodation that can be opened up for a bit of natural breeze. On a boat that's clearly happiest somewhere warm, that's a very nice thing to have.
The foredeck is the one place where the 27XP feels a little more restrained. There's still sunbathing space and you can walk right up to the bow, but this isn't a yacht with a huge separate forward lounge. There's a reason for that. The superstructure comes a long way forward and the flybridge does too, and that's what buys you so much room elsewhere. So yes, you lose some foredeck, but you get an awful lot of yacht in return. Not a bad trade.
Interior Accommodation
The main saloon is a big room, with tall glass down both sides and those huge aft doors linking it to the cockpit. There's a lot of floor area, but it doesn't feel like a great empty box. The glass keeps it bright, while the fairly relaxed mix of wood and wall coverings takes some of the edge off all that space.
Lots of storage runs around the room and the TVs are disguised as pictures when they're switched off, which is a neat way of avoiding a pair of big black rectangles on the wall. More useful still, some of the floor-to-ceiling side glazing opens, so you can get a proper breeze through the boat when the weather plays ball. On something that's likely to spend plenty of time somewhere hot, that's rather nice to have.
The galley sits forward and it's a proper working space rather than somewhere to hide a coffee machine. There's a huge amount of refrigeration, plus the cooking gear, sink, extractor, dishwasher and ice maker, with drawers and lockers everywhere you look. It runs farther back into the corner than you might expect, too, so there's a decent amount of room to work without everyone treading on each other's toes.
It's also set up sensibly for crew. There's a door straight onto the side deck and a small serving hatch through to the wheelhouse and crew mess - ideal for passing a cup of tea through without making a full lap of the boat. Little things, perhaps, but this is the sort of stuff that matters once you're aboard for more than a long weekend.
The day head sits just forward again and gets rather more attention than the usual functional cubbyhole, with decorative wall coverings and plenty of wood. Then a pocket door takes you into the wheelhouse. We'll deal with the helm properly later, but the useful bit here is the crew mess tucked alongside it, plus direct access out to the side deck. Guests get the big open saloon aft, while crew have their own little corner up here and a quick route around the boat. It all makes sense.
Owner's Cabin
The owner's cabin is full beam and, frankly, enormous. There's masses of floor space around the bed, huge hull windows and none of that feeling that the furniture has been shoehorned in just to make the layout plan work. This feels like a room you could actually live in for months, which is rather the point of the 27XP.
There's a proper walk-in wardrobe with drawers, shelving, a safe and two hanging rails, so you're not expected to unpack three weeks' worth of clothes into a couple of token cupboards. The owner of this boat had apparently already spent several months out cruising before it came back for the show, and you can see why this cabin would work for that sort of life.
The big hull windows help enormously. At anchor, with the blinds up and nothing inconvenient parked six feet away, the view from here should be terrific. The en suite is suitably generous as well, with a big separate shower and enough room around everything to avoid that slightly cramped bathroom shuffle. Nowhere on the 27XP feels particularly short-changed, but this is where you get the full effect.
Guest Accommodation
The forward VIP is the most interesting of the guest cabins because Numarine has done something a little odd with the bed - and it works. Rather than put it on the centreline, the bed sits offset to one side. That lines it up better with the hull as the bow narrows and makes the room feel much squarer than you'd expect this far forward. On paper it might look a bit wonky. In the cabin, it makes perfect sense.
There's plenty of storage, a huge TV and large hull windows, one section of which opens for fresh air. The cabin also gets its own en suite with a separate shower. Numarine's line is wonderfully blunt - "We don't do shared heads" - and that runs right through the boat.
The other two guest cabins are both a very good size, with more big hull windows, opening sections for natural air, proper storage and private bathrooms. There's some nice detail in the ceiling lighting too, but the bigger point is that neither cabin feels like the one you give to whoever drew the short straw. They both feel like proper bedrooms rather than spare berths with a door on them.
That matters on a boat like this. If you're crossing a fair bit of water and spending weeks aboard, guests need somewhere they can actually retreat to, not just somewhere to sleep. The 27XP has the volume to do that without taking anything obvious away from the owner's cabin.
Crew Accommodation
Crew quarters are aft, close to the machinery spaces and with their own access from the transom area, so crew can come and go without using the guest spaces.
There are two crew cabins for four crew, each with its own ensuite and separate shower. Numarine's no-shared-heads rule applies back here too.
Up by the wheelhouse, there's a captain's cabin and separate crew mess to give the crew somewhere to be away from the guest saloon, with the galley hatch close by and a side-deck door within a few steps.
Performance & Engine Room
With the 27XP, it's better to look at cruising speed over top speed - so at 10 knots, the boat has roughly 2,000 nautical miles of range. This boat has a pair of 850hp MAN diesels and tops out at about 14.5 knots, so there’s still a bit in hand when you need it, but steady distance cruising is really what suits it.
There’s quite a spread of engine options, from around 500hp per side up to 1,800hp, so you can push the top end higher if that matters to you. Even then, the basic character of the boat stays much the same. The 27XP is at its best at an easy cruising pace, with the emphasis on covering ground comfortably.
The MANs run through V-drive gearboxes and conventional shafts, with the machinery pushed aft. It’s a straightforward set-up and, more importantly, there’s loads of room around it. Headroom is excellent and access around the engines looks very good, which is exactly what you want when somebody actually has to service the things rather than admire them through a hatch.
Generators and watermakers live down here too, and that tells you quite a lot about the way the boat is meant to be used. The big galley, proper crew spaces and generous storage already point towards long spells aboard; this is the bit that backs all of that up. Weeks away rather than weekends away feels very much like the brief.
Access is good as well. There’s a direct route out to deck level, which also doubles as an emergency exit, and you can get into the machinery space without having to go via the transom.

Rivals to Consider
If 10 knots feels a bit too leisurely, the 27.4m (90ft) Azimut Magellano 27M is the obvious place to look. Its semi-displacement hull and twin MAN V12-1400s give around 21 knots, or closer to 24 knots with the larger 1,650hp engines, so it can cover ground in a way the 27XP simply can't. Beam is almost identical at 6.85m (22ft), with five cabins for 10 guests and four crew, but the mood is quite different. The Azimut is softer, more polished and less obviously explorer-like. It also starts higher, at around €8.5 million. What you don't get here is a directly comparable long-range figure, so the Numarine still has the clearer hand if slow-speed autonomy is what brought you to this end of the market in the first place.
The 27m (89ft) Ferretti INFYNITO 90 feels like the middle ground. It's wider at 7.33m (24ft), has five cabins and carries five crew, but brings more pace through twin MAN V12-1550s and a fast-displacement hull. Around 20 knots is on tap as standard, with 22 knots available on the larger engines, while quoted range is about 1,200nm at 12 knots. There's an enclosed flybridge option, even a jacuzzi if that's your thing, and the whole boat leans more towards smart Med cruising than the slightly more workmanlike Numarine. The interesting bit is that it costs about the same money. So this one really comes down to whether you'd rather have more pace and a Ferretti badge, or twice the sort of range the 27XP is built around.
Then things get a bit more left-field. The 27.1m (89ft) Wally wallywhy200 is 7.66m (25ft) wide and around 200GT, so despite being almost the same length, it feels like a much bigger thing. Five cabins can take up to 12 guests and the interior is closer to a loft apartment than a conventional explorer yacht. Quad Volvo IPS drives give roughly 20-23 knots, which is plenty, but range drops to around 1,000nm at 10 knots. This is not really a case of one doing the same job better than the other. The Wally spends its metres on huge internal volume, drama and social space. The Numarine spends them on range and a more traditional long-cruise set-up.
The 27.1m (89ft) Sunseeker 90 Ocean is easier to understand. Twin MAN V12-1650s, around 27 knots flat out, a big beach-club-style aft deck and a flybridge that does exactly what you'd hope a Sunseeker flybridge would do. Range is about 1,100nm at 12 knots, so it gives away a fair chunk to the 27XP there, and four cabins are standard unless you go for the Enclosed version with five. But if your cruising life involves regular 25-knot hops between marinas, the Sunseeker will make far more sense. If you'd rather slow the whole thing down and stay away for longer, the Numarine is the more natural fit.
Why Not Buy a Used Numarine 26XP?
YachtBuyer MarketWatch currently puts average used Numarine 26XP prices at around €4.4 million, with boats on the market from roughly €2.9 million to €6.1 million. That can leave a very healthy saving against a new 27XP, and you’re still getting a proven explorer with strong range and the same basic Numarine XP thinking.
The 27XP buys more room, bigger social decks, a five-cabin option, newer systems and the latest Super Silent Pack, plus the warranty and freedom of a new build. The maths gets tighter at the top end, though. Once a later 26XP nudges past €6 million, the step to a new 27XP starts to look rather smaller.
