Numarine unveils 40MXP MITAN: a family-driven explorer designed for life at sea 

Accommodation for 12 guests across six staterooms, full-beam master on main deck

Numarine, the renowned builder of efficient explorer yachts, has presented the second hull of its 40MXP series, named MITAN, at the Palm Beach International Boat Show (25-29 March 2026). The superyacht’s name comes from Hindi and Nepali, where ‘mitan’ denotes a chosen companion, someone outside the family who is treated as kin. The yacht was commissioned by a family owner, and the brief centred on shared time at sea across extended voyages.

Where the 37XP established the shipyard’s explorer credentials, the 40MXP shifts the emphasis. It offers more deck area, more flexible accommodation, and a dramatically reconfigured stern that places outdoor living at the centre of the design.

A home on the water

Below decks, MITAN accommodates 12 guests across six staterooms. The full-beam master occupies the main deck. Two of the remaining cabins are configured as adaptable spaces. A seventh guest cabin, a dedicated children’s room, or a working office, depending on who is on board and where the yacht is headed. Guest and crew circulation is separated throughout, so the rhythm of life on deck is never interrupted by the workings of the boat.
