An eight-year-old project may seem a little young for a facelift. But, that’s exactly what Turkey-based Numarine did with the Numarine 102 RPH. The megayacht additionally features interior configuration improvements.
The newest Numarine 102 RPH is just the sixth 102 in the shipyard’s history. The yard decided that a little freshening up was in order to keep with current trends. Design Studio Spadolini and naval architect Umberto Tagliavini, both of whom designed the original 102, were tasked with the updates.
Two styling changes are immediately noticeable. First, the Numarine 102 RPH has larger, more defined ports below decks. She also has a hardtop-fitted flying bridge. Previous 102s had completely open flybridges. The hardtop is a clearly practical feature, yet it also adds to the aesthetic appeal. (On a related note, there’s nearly 646 square feet, or 60 square meters, of relaxation space up here.)
Can Yalman, who has done interiors on many Numarine deliveries, created the interior design for the new Numarine 102 RPH. Believe it or not, the changes inside benefit the crew as much as the owners’ party. The crew’s quarters is a bit larger, comprised of three single staterooms (including the captain’s), each with en suite baths. A happy crew means a happy ownership experience, after all. Furthermore, the Numarine 102 RPH had additional sound-attenuation techniques and materials.
Remaining unchanged is the performance emphasis. The Numarine 102 RPH reportedly sees a top end close to 30 knots. Power comes from twin Caterpillar C32s. Also unchanged: The ability for clients to put their own imprint on the model. Both decor materials and space planning are open to input. This Numarine 102 RPH features a main-deck owner’s suite and main-deck galley, with four guest staterooms (two twins and two doubles) below decks. The master additionally includes a wardrobe a few steps down and positions the bed facing the forward ports. Up on the flying bridge, the owners and guests can spend the day relaxing. Sun lounges can be set up, and cocktails or lunch can take place in the shade. The crew can launch the tender (or alternately a PWC) from the aft portion of the deck, too.
