Numarine Reveals Hot Lab’s Refined Interiors for New 45XP Flagship Explorer
Istanbul, Turkey – Numarine has unveiled the stunning interior design of its much-anticipated flagship model, the 45XP, showcasing the latest result of its long-standing collaboration with renowned Italian studio Hot Lab, part of the Viken Group. With refined natural materials, flexible layouts, and a design philosophy rooted in warmth and function, the interiors of this 45-metre explorer yacht are as impressive as its ocean-spanning capabilities.
Marking a major milestone for the Turkish shipyard, the 45.34-metre 45XP combines a bold, seaworthy presence with sophisticated, spacious interiors and a projected trans-oceanic range of 6,000 nautical miles. Designed for serious global cruising with luxurious comfort, the 45XP is the largest model in Numarine’s XP series to date.
A Refined Vision by Hot Lab
Numarine Chairman Ömer Malaz emphasized the importance of entrusting the creative process to Hot Lab, noting the studio’s deep understanding of the brand’s DNA and their ability to evolve it in new directions.
“We’ve been collaborating for several years, and this flagship project demanded a shared vision. We gave the technical foundation, but allowed Hot Lab creative freedom,” Malaz said.
Hot Lab reimagined the 45XP’s layout to enhance livability, introducing flexible, multifunctional spaces that cater to families and groups who value shared experiences. The main saloon, for example, is designed as a vibrant social hub or ‘piazza’, integrating dining, lounge, and cinema areas into one cohesive yet distinct environment.
Organic Elegance Meets Geometric Precision
The design strikes a thoughtful balance between natural textures and curated structure, with finishes such as untreated travertine, raw oak, soft leathers, and deep burgundy accents. Subtle geometric and organic elements provide a visual rhythm across walls, columns, and ceiling panels, unifying the yacht’s interiors with a serene, contemporary elegance.
“Our designers embraced a philosophy of authenticity—leaving materials as nature intended,” explained Enrico Lumini, Hot Lab co-founder and design director. “It’s not just a trend, it’s a return to timeless style.”
This approach gives the 45XP an atmosphere of comfortable sophistication, mirroring the rugged refinement of its explorer exterior.
Space, Light, and Personalization
The yacht’s interior concept emphasizes fewer but larger cabins, prioritizing comfort and privacy. The standard layout includes five spacious ensuite staterooms, with a particularly generous owner’s suite featuring direct access to a private bow terrace—a hallmark of modern explorer yacht design.
With an interior volume of 498GT, the yacht boasts exceptional roominess across all decks, with large saloons and extensive glazing for maximum natural light and connection to the outdoors.
While the layout is highly customizable, Numarine’s baseline configuration reflects a growing client preference for highly livable, long-range cruising yachts that feel more like bespoke floating villas than traditional yachts.
The Pinnacle of a Successful Partnership
The 45XP is the latest chapter in a trusted relationship between Numarine and Hot Lab, one that has consistently delivered award-winning yachts across the XP line. Their synergy ensures not only design harmony but also efficient collaboration on construction and innovation.
“This yacht is undoubtedly the highest expression of Numarine’s style and quality to date,” said Antonio Romano, Commercial Director of the Viken Group and Hot Lab co-founder. “We’re proud to be part of its story.”
A New Standard for Explorer Yachts
As Numarine continues to expand its global presence and production capabilities, the 45XP stands as a bold statement of intent: an explorer yacht that merges cutting-edge performance with bespoke craftsmanship and inviting, intuitive design.
“This flagship is the culmination of everything we’ve learned,” Malaz concluded. “It represents the very best of Numarine, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”
